Description

Induction heating apparatus for protecting error by resonance

The present invention provides a heating object (eg, a heating object mounted on a working coil due to an electromagnetic induction effect due to a magnetic field caused by a resonance voltage (ie, a voltage caused by an induced current) generated in the working coil by a resonance between the working coil and the resonance capacitor connected in parallel. It relates to a voltage resonant induction heating device for heating the cooking vessel by inducing eddy current to the cooking vessel,

More specifically, an inverter board disposed adjacent to the working coil to generate a resonance voltage in the working coil, and disposed away from the inverter board, and having an input unit and a display unit, the control board for user manipulation, which is adversely affected by the resonance action. The present invention relates to a voltage resonant induction heating apparatus in which electronic devices are mounted on a control board disposed away from an inverter board, thereby minimizing adverse effects, and thus preventing adverse effects due to resonant action that prevents precise control and breakage of the induction heating apparatus.

Due to the characteristics of the voltage resonant type, the driver is stopped in case of overvoltage by detecting the resonance voltage generated in the working coil so that the switching element is not damaged because the switching element is subjected to high voltage about 3-4 times the input commercial voltage. That is, off to protect the switching element,

The overvoltage section of the resonant voltage waveform is extremely short, preventing the controller from detecting it normally, and stopping the switching of the switching element for a certain time even if it detects normally, thus determining (detecting) the normal voltage after the extremely short overvoltage section. A voltage resonant induction heating apparatus having a switching element protection function which more reliably protects the switching element by preventing the switching element from immediately generating a larger resonance voltage by continuing the switching operation.

The voltage resonant induction heating device is a device for heating a heating object by using the skin effect of an induction current flowing in a working coil, and maximizes energy efficiency.

The working coil 800 and the resonance condenser 810 are connected in parallel to each other to perform a resonance action.

Switching element 710 for switching on and off so that the resonance action,

Driver 700 for turning on and off the switching element,

Control unit 600 for controlling the driver by inputting the oscillation signal to the driver,

Bridge diode and coil for rectifying and smoothing the input commercial power supply (100) into DC power to supply resonant power to the resonant capacitor,

The voltage compensator 200, the current compensator 300, the voltage current comparator 400 for detecting and comparing the voltage and the current of the input commercial power and transmitting the same to the controller.

It is composed of a trigger unit (not shown) for detecting the phase difference by detecting the resonance voltage at both ends of the working coil.

The controller 600 determines the on-time length of the oscillation signal according to the magnitude of the compensation signal input from the voltage current comparator 400, and determines the turn-on time of the oscillation signal by synchronizing the phase difference extracted by the trigger unit.

The components of the induction heater circuit diagram are mounted on the PCB board as electronic elements.

In an induction heating apparatus, a PCB board is disposed adjacent to a working coil, and there is an inverter board for generating a resonance voltage by a resonance action on the working coil, and a control board having an input unit and a display unit for user manipulation.

5 shows the components mounted to the inverter board 1 and the control board 3 in the prior art.

For reference, the reference numerals used in FIG. 5 are made to coincide with the reference numerals used in the induction heating apparatus according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the voltage resonant induction heating apparatus according to the related art is equipped with most electronic devices, that is, the resonant capacitor C3, the trigger circuit 20, and the inverter microcomputer 50A, etc., on the inverter board 1. The control board 3 is equipped with a control microcomputer 50B, a button and a display unit for user operation.

For reference, the inverter microcomputer 50A includes a driver 60, a current detection circuit 80, a voltage detector 70, and a part of the controller 50, and the control microcomputer 50B includes a controller ( And the remaining part of 50).

However, in the case where most electronic devices are mounted on the inverter board and above, the trigger unit 20 and the inverter microcomputer 50A are affected by the high frequency generated by the resonance action between the working coil SW and the resonance capacitor C3. As a result, the control of the induction heating apparatus is not precise, and the switching element Q1 is damaged.

In particular, noise is introduced into the trigger unit 20 due to the influence of the high frequency caused by the resonance action, and an error occurs in the turn-on time determination, and noise is also introduced into the current detection circuit 80 and the voltage detector 70 to determine the on-time. There is a high risk of errors occurring.

In addition, when such an error occurs, precise control of the induction heating apparatus becomes difficult, and the switching element may be damaged by deformation of the on / off switching signal applied to the switching element Q1.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to minimize the adverse effects of the resonance between the working coil WC and the resonant capacitor C3.

However, the voltage resonant induction heating apparatus according to the prior art does not include a separate means for preventing the adverse effects due to the resonance action in most cases.

One of the methods of reducing the adverse effect of the resonance in the prior art is to use high-quality high-cost electronic devices, which leads to a sharp increase in manufacturing costs, which is insignificant compared to the increase in manufacturing costs.

Another method is to include a blocking plate that blocks high frequency generated by the resonant action from entering the area, a filter for removing noise introduced by the high frequency, etc., which also causes a rapid increase in manufacturing cost.

The other adverse effect of the resonance is high temperature heat generation, and many electronic devices are sensitive to high temperature and malfunction. Therefore, in order to reduce the adverse effect of the high temperature heat generated by the resonance action, a heat sink and a blower fan having a large capacity and size are required.

Induction heating apparatuses are typically a one-stage voltage resonance type and a two-seat half-bridge system.

One-stage voltage resonant induction heating device is composed of one switching element to generate a resonance action on the working coil, two-stage half-bridge system is composed of two switching elements of the upper side and the lower side and alternately switching.

The single-stage voltage resonant induction heating apparatus is widely used because of its simple circuit and easy control, but the switching element is easily damaged because the switching element is subjected to a high voltage of about 3 to 4 times the input commercial voltage.

As the voltage resonant induction heating device has a problem in that a high voltage is applied to the switching element, the switching element generally uses an IGBT that is resistant to high voltage and high frequency, but the IGBT also has a limit in the breakdown voltage, which is a limit value that can withstand overvoltage. .

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a means for protecting the switching element from overvoltage.

In the prior art, however, no means for protecting the switching element from overvoltage is provided.

As can be seen in FIG. 1 and the description of the prior art, the voltage resonant induction heating apparatus according to the prior art senses the voltage applied to the switching element (that is, the output resonance voltage of the working coil), and detects the switching element from the overvoltage. There is no means for protection.

In the prior art, the overvoltage applied to the switching element is not detected because it is difficult to detect an initial time point at which the overvoltage occurs at the resonance voltage.

Figure 3 illustrates the input and output waveforms of the main components in the voltage resonant induction heating apparatus according to the present invention. Referring to the above waveforms in Figure 3, the reason for not detecting the overvoltage in the prior art Is the same as

The switching element IGBT is switched on and off so that the on-time is gradually longer due to the resonant action to generate a square wave. Accordingly, the working coil outputs the resonance voltage CP2 (−) of the triangular wave whose amplitude is gradually increased. This output resonance voltage CP2 (-) is applied to the switching element.

At some point, the output resonance voltage of which amplitude increases gradually exceeds its protection voltage CP2 (+) for protecting the switching element.

However, the time over the protection voltage in the output resonance voltage waveform is extremely short, and in general, the portion where the peak value exceeds the protection voltage for the first time is less than 1us.

Therefore, it is practically impossible to detect the point of time beyond the resonance voltage beyond the protection voltage for the first time in the resonance voltage waveform.

The resonance voltage generated after the first resonant voltage exceeding the protection voltage is gradually longer than the protection voltage, so that it can be detected. The peak value exceeds the breakdown voltage at which the switching element breaks.

Therefore, the overvoltage (i.e., the peak value exceeds the protection voltage) must be detected from the resonance voltage waveform at the time of the first or at least second occurrence of the protection voltage.

However, in the prior art, it is not possible to detect the overvoltage generated in such an extremely short time, and despite the necessity, it has not been provided with a means for detecting and controlling the switching element as a result of the detection of the overvoltage.

And even if the peak value detects the resonant voltage at the initial time exceeding the protection voltage (overvoltage), the problem is that the overvoltage section is extremely short in the resonant voltage waveform, so even if it is detected as overvoltage, it is immediately detected as the normal voltage below the protection voltage. The action lasts.

In other words, although the peak value of the resonant voltage waveform may be slightly smaller than the predetermined size, the resonance action continues to increase as the peak value continues, so it is not meaningful to merely detect the overvoltage occurring at an extremely short moment, and the point of time when the overvoltage is first detected. After that, the switching element stops switching for a certain period of time to stop the resonant action for a certain time to reduce the peak value of the resonant voltage waveform and to cause the resonant action to occur again.

The present invention has been made to solve the problem of the voltage resonance type induction heating apparatus according to the prior art as described above,

Resonant Action Between Working Coil and Resonant Capacitors Electronic components that are adversely affected by high frequency, noise, and high temperature, which may adversely affect the control of induction heating devices, are mounted on the control board away from the inverter board, and the connectors J1 and J2 are connected. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a voltage resonant induction heating apparatus which transmits and receives electrical signals through a normal manner and prevents malfunctions or damages while increasing the manufacturing cost, and prevents adverse effects due to precisely controlled and durable resonance. It is done.

And it detects the output resonant voltage of the working coil, that is, the voltage applied to the switching element, and in the case of the result of the detection overvoltage, the switching operation of the switching element is stopped for a predetermined time to prevent the switching element from being damaged from the overvoltage,

After the first occurrence of the overvoltage, the state of the output signal for this period is maintained for a certain time to more accurately detect the fact that the overvoltage has occurred, and the stop state of the switching element is also maintained for a predetermined time for more protection of the switching element by the overvoltage.

2 to 4 will be described in more detail with respect to the voltage resonance type induction heating device which prevented the adverse effect of the resonance action according to the present invention.

First, as shown in Figure 4 is a voltage resonance type induction heating device that prevents the adverse effect of the resonance action according to the present invention

The inverter board 1 is equipped with a working coil (WC) and a resonant capacitor (C3) for resonant action, a switching element (Q1) for switching on and off, and a DC unit (10) for converting commercial power into DC power, That is, the common voltage resonant inverter 90 is mounted,

The trigger unit 20, the driver 60, the control unit 50, the current detection circuit 80, and the voltage detection unit 70 which are affected by the resonance action of the working coil WC and the resonant capacitor C3 are controlled by a control board ( 3) was mounted.

In addition, the electronic devices mounted by moving from the inverter board 1 to the control board 3 are electrically connected to the inverter board 1 through the connectors J1 and J2 to transmit and receive electrical signals.

As described above, the present invention minimizes the adverse effects by mounting components that are adversely affected by high frequency, noise, and high temperature due to resonance to the control board 3 away from the inverter board 1, thereby significantly reducing the risk of malfunction or damage. It is possible to operate by reducing, precise control of induction heating device, and excellent reliability and durability.

As shown in FIG. 2, the voltage resonant induction heating apparatus with the switching element protection function according to the present invention includes a working coil WC, a resonant capacitor C3, a DC unit 10, a switching element Q1, a driver ( 60), a control unit 50, a sensing unit 30, and a protection unit 40 are included.

Here, the configuration of the working coil WC, the resonant capacitor C3, the DC unit 10, and the switching element Q1 is generally referred to as a voltage resonant inverter 90. That is, the working coil WC, the resonant capacitor C3, the DC unit 10, and the switching element Q1 constituting the voltage resonant inverter 90 are well known technologies. Therefore, these are briefly described.

First, the DC unit 10 supplies a resonance power to the resonance capacitor C3 by converting an input commercial power, that is, AC power into DC power.

The DC unit 10 is a bridge diode (BD1) for full-wave rectification of the input commercial power, smoothing capacitor (C1, C2) and inductor (L1) for smoothing and directing the rectified power through the bridge diode (BD1) It is composed of

Although not shown in the drawing, a front line of the DC unit 10 may include a line filter for removing noise from an input commercial power supply, a varistor and arrester for blocking and absorbing surges, and a fuse for blocking an overcurrent.

The working coil WC and the resonant capacitor C3 connected in parallel to each other resonate according to the switching of the switching element Q1.

In other words, the resonant capacitor C3 is charged by the resonant power input from the DC unit 10 and repeats discharging and charging according to the switching operation of the switching element Q1.

In addition, the working coil WC generates a strong magnetic field by generating counter electromotive force due to charging and discharging of the resonant capacitor C3, and an induced current (ie, a resonance voltage) is generated by the magnetic field.

The induced current generated from the working coil WC (ie, the resonance voltage) causes an eddy current to be induced in the heating object placed thereon, and the heating object, which is a resistor, is heated by the eddy current.

The switching element Q1 is switched on and off so that a resonance action occurs between the working coil WC and the resonance capacitor C3.

As described above, the switching element Q1 is preferably an IGBT resistant to high voltage and high frequency.

The switching element Q1 is driven by the driver 60 under the control of the controller 50. The switching element Q1 is switched on and off so that the on time is gradually increased while the resonance operation is continued.

At this time, in the on-off operation of the switching element Q1 controlled by the controller 50 through the driver 50, the on-time length is determined according to the magnitude of the compensation signal comparing the voltage and current of the commercial power source on the input side, The turn-on time is determined according to the phase difference of the resonance voltage generated across the working coil WC.

This will be described in more detail as follows.

First, the current transformer CT connected to the input terminal detects the current of the commercial power source input, and the input current detection circuit 80 detects the strength and phase of the current from the current input from the current transformer CT to the controller 50. send.

The input voltage detector 70 connected to the input side senses the input voltage and transmits the detected input voltage to the controller 50. The input voltage detector 70 includes rectified diodes D1 and D2 for onion rectifying the input commercial voltage, resistors R11 and R12 for voltage division of the input voltage rectified at the rectified diodes D1 and D2, and a resistor ( And a capacitor C1 that smoothes the voltage divided by R11 and R12, removes noise, and transmits the noise to the controller.

The controller 50 compares the current and voltage of the received input commercial power with each other, detects the magnitude of the compensation signal, and adjusts the on-time of switching according to the magnitude of the detected compensation signal. In other words, the larger the magnitude of the compensation signal, the longer the on-time to increase the amplitude of the resonance voltage.

Next, the trigger unit 20 receives the resonant voltages from both ends of the working coil WC, that is, the input side and the output side, and compares them to detect the phase difference between the two ends of the working coil WC and transmits them to the controller.

The controller 50 calculates and determines the turn-on time synchronized with the resonance time constant from the received phase difference signals across the working coil WC.

The control unit 50 receives temperature signals detected by two temperature sensors TH1 and TH2 that are disposed on the center side and the side of the working coil WC, respectively, to sense the generated heat, and according to the transmitted temperature. The driver 60 is controlled to control on / off switching of the switching element Q1 so as not to overheat. The switching element Q1 is broken not only when the rated voltage between the collector and the emitter exceeds the rated current of the collector, but also when the operating temperature exceeds the rated temperature. Therefore, temperature sensors TH1 and TH2 are provided to protect against temperature.

In addition, the control unit 50 is connected to a plurality of input keys for receiving a user's operation signal, and a display unit for indicating the operation state.

As described above, the trigger unit 20 receives a resonance voltage at both ends of the working coil WC, detects a phase difference therefrom, and determines a turn-on time of the switching element Q1.

The trigger unit 20 includes resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 for voltage-dividing voltages across the working coils WC, and capacitors C4 and C5 for smoothing voltages across the voltage-divided ends, respectively. And a first comparator CP1 for detecting the phase difference by comparing the voltages of both ends of the smoothed terminal with the inverting (-) terminal and the non-inverting (+) terminal, and transmitting them to the controller 50.

For reference, the output forms of the first comparator CP1 and the second comparator CP2 and the third comparator CP3 to be described below will be described with reference to the open collector. That is, it is an open form at the main output Hi. Of course, an open-drain comparator with a main output low in the open form is also available.

In addition, the signals input to the inverting (-) terminal and the non-inverting (+) terminal of the first, second and third comparators CP1, 2 and 3 may be inputted to the opposite terminals, and these (CP1) Hi and Low, the output signals of (2,3), can also be reversed. Of course, at this time, it is necessary to set the relationship between the signal input to the inverted, non-inverted terminal and the output signal output to the output terminal.

The sensing unit 30 senses an output resonance voltage of the working coil WC (that is, a voltage at the point B in the drawing, the collector terminal voltage of the switching element Q1), and determines whether the resonance voltage peak value has exceeded the overvoltage. To judge.

The sensing unit 30 inverts the resistors R5 and R6 for voltage-dividing the voltage (point B) applied to the collector terminal of the IGBT, which is the switching element Q1, and the voltage divided by the resistors R5 and R6. A second comparator CP2 is input to the terminal (-), and the reference voltage, which determines whether or not an overvoltage, is input to the non-inverting terminal (+) and compared.

The second comparator CP2 has a reference voltage of a reference level (reference 1) input to the non-inverting terminal (+) when the collector terminal voltage of the switching element Q1 input to the inverting terminal (−) is normal. If smaller, the output is Open (ie Hi).

However, as shown in FIG. 3, in the resonance voltage at which the peak value first exceeds the reference voltage, the time in the section exceeding the reference voltage (ie, overvoltage) is extremely short.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 3, the time when the second comparator CP2 detects the overvoltage, that is, when the resonance voltage is shorted beyond the overvoltage in the open state, and then the resonance voltage falls below the overvoltage and is opened (that is, , When the second comparator determines that the output signal is low because the second comparator determines that the overvoltage is low. Even if it is transmitted to the control unit as it is, the control unit 50 cannot recognize this normally and appropriate control is impossible.

Therefore, the control unit 50 needs a means for normally recognizing the overvoltage signal sensed and output by the detection unit 30, and this means is the protection unit 40.

In addition, since extremely short overvoltage periods are not normally detected, voltage resonance continues to occur, and thus switching element Q1 may be damaged. Therefore, on / off switching of switching element Q1 is performed for a predetermined time or more at the time of overvoltage occurrence. It is necessary to forcibly stop, and this protection part 40 is also in charge.

When the detector 30 detects that the overvoltage is included in the resonance voltage, the protection unit 40 stops driving of the driver 60 for a predetermined time to protect the switching element Q1 and detects the overvoltage. The control unit 50 is sufficiently aware that there is an overvoltage by continuing the output signal for a predetermined time or more and transmitting the same to the control unit 50.

The protection unit 40 receives the output signal of the second comparator CP2 of the sensing unit 30 as the non-inverting terminal (+), compares the reference voltage with the inverting terminal (-), and compares the result. The third comparator CP3 and the output signal of the second comparator CP2 and the third comparator CP3 for transmitting to the driver 60 and stopping the driving of the driver 60 at the same time as being transmitted to the controller 50. It is connected to the input line input to (CP3), that is, the non-inverting terminal (+) of the third comparator (CP3), and discharges its own charging voltage and inputs to the non-inverting terminal (+) of the third comparator (CP3) An output holding capacitor C7 for maintaining the output signal of the third comparator for a predetermined time, a discharge resistor R8 connected in parallel with the output holding capacitor C7 to discharge the charging voltage of the capacitor C7, and the output. A charge resistor (R7) connected in series with the holding capacitor (C7) to supply and charge the applied power (V +) to the capacitor (C7); The lure is.

The operation of the protection unit 40 will be described with reference to the circuit operation waveform of FIG.

First, the output of the second comparator CP2 is in a normal state until the output resonance voltage of the working coil WC (that is, the voltage between the collector emitters of the switching element Q1) exceeds the overvoltage set as the reference voltage. Thus, the non-inverting terminal (+) of the third comparator CP3 is input, and the reference voltage is input to the inverting terminal (-) of the third comparator CP3. In this case, since the inverting terminal (-) reference voltage is smaller than the input voltage of the non-inverting terminal (+), the output of the third comparator CP3 is in an open state (ie, Hi).

For reference, at this time, the non-inverting terminal (+) of the third comparator CP3 is biased by the resistors R7 and R8, and the output of the second comparator CP2 is in an open state and thus does not affect the third comparator. The non-inverting terminal (+) voltage of CP3) becomes V +.

Next, when the collector voltage (output resonance voltage) of the switching element Q1 rises and the peak value exceeds the overvoltage (that is, the reference voltage), the voltage of the inverting terminal (-) of the second comparator CP2 becomes the reference voltage ( As it becomes higher than the reference 1), the output of the second comparator CP2 is in a low state, whereby the non-inverting terminal + of the third comparator CP3 is in a low state. Then, since the voltage of the non-inverting terminal (+) is lower than the reference voltage (reference 1), the output of the third comparator CP3 is in a low state.

However, as described above, the time when the output of the second comparator CP2 is low is very short, which is less than 1 us, and immediately returns to the open state. Therefore, the third comparator CP3 must maintain the output signal Low for a predetermined time. do.

When the output of the second comparator CP2 is low, the initial condition of the output holding capacitor C7 connected in parallel with the resistor R8 connected to the third comparator CP3 non-inverting terminal (+) is 0V, and the second comparator CP2 After the output of Hi) is applied, C7 is charged through the resistor R7 in the applied power supply V +, thereby increasing the input voltage of the non-inverting terminal (+) of the third comparator (CP3).

The third comparator (until the charge voltage of the output holding capacitor C7 increases to increase the non-inverting terminal (+) potential of the third comparator CP3 to be higher than the reference voltage (reference 1) of the inverting terminal (-). The output of CP3) is kept low.

The driver receiving the output signal of the third comparator CP3 forcibly stops driving while the output is kept low, and the controller that receives the output signal of the third comparator CP3 is low for a sufficient time. Receives an output signal and accurately recognizes overvoltage.

For reference, at this time, the time when the output holding capacitor C7 rises to reach the reference voltage, that is, the time when the third comparator CP3 maintains the output signal in the low state is determined by the time constants of C7 and R7.

In the present invention, the applied voltage V + to the third comparator (CP3) non-inverting terminal (+) is 15V, the reference voltage is used 1 / 2V +, that is 7.5V, the resistor R8 is about twice as large as R7 , When R8 is 200kohm and R7 is 100kohm, the non-inverting terminal (+) of the third comparator (CP3) was defined as {R8 / (R7 + R8)} * V + = 10V.

In the above description of the present invention, a voltage resonant induction heating apparatus which prevents adverse effects due to a resonance effect of a specific configuration and a circuit diagram is described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be variously modified and changed by those skilled in the art. However, such modifications and variations are to be construed as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
