In the following description, terms for indicating directions (for example, "upper", "lower", etc.) are used as appropriate for easy understanding, but this is for illustrative purposes, and these terms are not intended to limit the inventors.

First embodiment

Fig. 1 is a configuration diagram of an induction heating conditioner according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The induction heating conditioner 100 of the first embodiment includes a rice cooking pot 1 to be heated, a heating coil 2, a driving unit 3, a display operation unit 4, a control unit 5, an antimagnetic ring 7, a cooling means 8, and a power supply unit 9, The magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 and the power conversion means 11.

As shown in Fig. 1, a heating coil 2 for inductively heating the rice cooking pot 1 is disposed on the outer periphery of the bottom and bottom of the rice cooking pot 1. The heating coil 2 The rice cooker 1 is inductively heated by supplying high frequency electric power of 20 kHz or more by the drive unit 3. The display operation unit 4 includes an operation unit that accepts settings for a rice cooking instruction or a rice cooking condition from the user, and a display unit that displays an operation state or a message to the user. Here, the display operation unit 4 including both the operation unit and the display unit will be described, but the operation unit and the display unit may be provided independently. The display operation unit 4 outputs a signal based on the setting from the user to the control unit 5. The control unit 5 having a microcomputer or a control circuit drives and controls the drive unit 3 in accordance with a predetermined control sequence based on a signal from the display operation unit 4.

The antimagnetic ring 7 is disposed on the outer circumference of the rice cooking pot 1. The antimagnetic ring 7 is an annular member made of a conductive material such as aluminum or copper in order to reduce the leakage of magnetic flux to the outer circumference of the body of the induction heating conditioner 100.

The cooling means 8 is an air supply means for supplying cooling air for cooling the heat generating elements inside the main body of the induction heating conditioner 100. The cooling means 8 is, for example, an axial flow fan, and is configured to supply cooling air to a member such as a switching element provided in the heating coil 2 or the driving unit 3 to generate heat due to an induction heating operation.

The power supply unit 9 generates electric power from the commercial AC power source to drive the electric load such as the drive unit 3, the display operation unit 4, the control unit 5, and the cooling means 8.

Further, the induction heating conditioner 100 of the first embodiment is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the rice cooking pot 1, and has a magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 as a magnetic flux leakage recovery means between the heating coil 2 and the antimagnetic ring 7. The magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is configured by winding a wire such as a copper wire or an aluminum wire around a plurality of turns, and is connected to the power supply unit 9 via the power conversion means 11.

Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the induction heating conditioner of the first embodiment. In Fig. 2, a plurality of ferrites 12 are disposed under the heating coil 2 unit. By flowing a high-frequency current of 20 kHz or more to the heating coil 2, a magnetic circuit is formed between the rice cooker 1 and the ferrite 12, and the ferrite 12 reduces the magnetic flux leakage to the underside of the induction heating conditioner 100.

Further, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is disposed at a lower portion of the antimagnetic ring 7, that is, It is disposed closer to the heating coil 2 than the antimagnetic ring 7 (the front side when viewed from the heating coil 2).

Figure 3 is a circuit diagram of the induction heating conditioner of the first embodiment Make up the picture. In the third diagram, a diode bridge 21, a reactor 22, a smoothing capacitor 23, and a resonant capacitor 24 and an IGBT that form a resonant circuit with the heating coil 2 are connected to an AC power source (commercial power source) 20 and convert the AC voltage into a DC voltage. The switching element (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) 25 and the diode 26 correspond to the driving unit 3 shown in Fig. 1 .

The drive unit 3 constitutes a so-called one-stone voltage resonance inverter. in The gate terminal of the IGBT 25 is connected to the control unit 5, and the switching signal of the IGBT 25 is output from the control unit 5. Here, the above description shows an example in which an IGBT is used as the switching element, but other switching elements such as a MOSFET may be used. Further, when a MOSFET is used as the switching element, since the parasitic diode is formed between the source terminal and the gate terminal, the diode 26 may not be provided.

The power conversion means 11 includes: a diode 27, and a magnetic flux recovery The coil 10 is connected to convert the high-frequency AC voltage generated by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 into a DC voltage; and the capacitor 28 smoothes the converted DC voltage.

Further, the power supply unit 9 is for driving the control unit 5 and the display operation unit 4 And the cooling means 8 constitutes a power conversion for converting the alternating current power source 20 into a direct current voltage Circuit (details are not shown). Further, the power supply unit 9 is connected to the power conversion means 11 via the diode 29, and the voltage generated by the magnetic leakage recovery coil 10 and the power conversion means 11 is lower than the DC voltage generated by the power supply unit 9. In this case, electric power is supplied from the power supply unit 9 to the control unit 5, the display operation unit 4, and the cooling means 8 via the diode 29.

The above description of the induction heating conditioner of the first embodiment has been described. Composition. Next, the operation of the induction heating conditioner of the first embodiment will be described.

The start of cooking instruction by the user to the display operation unit 4 When the heating is instructed, the control unit 5 starts controlling the drive unit 3. The drive unit 3 receives the switching signal from the control unit 5 and starts switching of the IGBT 25. The AC voltage of the AC power source 20 is once converted into DC by the DC power supply circuit including the diode bridge 21, the reactor 22, and the smoothing capacitor 23, and then the IGBT 25 is switched at a high frequency, thereby supplying the high-frequency current to the heating. Coil 2. When a high-frequency current flows to the heating coil 2, an alternating magnetic field is generated from the heating coil 2, whereby high-frequency magnetic flux is generated inside or around the rice cooker 1 which is the object to be heated. In order to cancel the generated high-frequency magnetic flux, an eddy current flows to the rice cooking pot 1, and a Joule loss (eddy current loss) occurs due to the eddy current and the electric resistance of the rice cooking pot 1, and rice or water inside the rice cooking pot 1 It is heated.

In this way, when the high frequency current is supplied to the heating coil 2, The heating coil 2 generates a magnetic flux by which the rice cooker 1 is heated. However, not all of the magnetic flux generated from the heating coil 2 is used for induction heating of the rice cooking pot 1, and a part of the magnetic flux that does not contribute to the heating of the rice cooking pot 1 is so-called magnetic flux leakage and leaks to the surroundings.

The magnetic flux leakage system is interlinked with the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10. In other words, magnetic flux leakage The recovery coil 10 is disposed at a position interlinked with the leakage flux generated from the heating coil 2. When the magnetic flux leakage and the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 are interlinked, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 generates an electromotive force in a direction to cancel the change in the magnetic flux leakage, and the current flows to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10. The electromotive force generated by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is converted into a direct current by the power conversion means 11, and is used for the driving power of the driving unit 3, the display operation unit 4, the control unit 5, and/or the cooling means 8.

Because the current borrowed to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is offset in this way Since a part of the magnetic flux leakage generated by the heating coil 2 is reduced, the leakage magnetic flux of the entire induction heating conditioner 100 is reduced. Therefore, the induced current generated by the antimagnetic ring 7 provided in the upper portion of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 can be reduced, and the temperature rise due to the heat generation of the antimagnetic ring 7 can be suppressed.

Therefore, the power loss of the antimagnetic ring 7 can be reduced. Again, because The electromotive force generated by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 can be effectively utilized as the driving power source for the driving unit 3, the display operation unit 4, the control unit 5, and the cooling means 8, so that the induction heating conditioner 100 that realizes energy saving can be obtained.

Next, the detailed description between the heating coil 2 and the antimagnetic ring 7 The configuration of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is constructed.

In the first and second figures, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is provided in the prevention The lower portion of the magnetic ring 7 and the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 are disposed closer to the heating coil 2 than the antimagnetic ring 7.

Further, it is more preferable to arrange the lead wire disposed at the lowermost stage of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 on the lower side with respect to the lead wire disposed at the uppermost stage of the heating coil 2. That is, as shown in Fig. 2, when the induction heating conditioner 100 is viewed from the side, the uppermost portion of the heating coil 2 and a part of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 are disposed. The height direction overlaps.

In addition, on the underside of the induction heating conditioner 100, according to When the heat coil 2, the antimagnetic ring 7 and the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 are arranged in this order, that is, the positions of the antimagnetic ring 7 and the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 are reversed with respect to the first and second figures because The magnetic flux leakage with the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is small, and most of the leakage magnetic flux is interlinked with the antimagnetic ring 7, so that the induced current that cancels the magnetic flux leakage mainly flows only to the antimagnetic ring 7, and the loss of the antimagnetic ring 7 becomes large. .

Moreover, since the leakage magnetic flux interlinking with the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is small, The power recovered by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is small, and there is a possibility that the power source for driving cannot be obtained.

In contrast, in the first embodiment, the heating coil 2 is used. At the time of observation, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is disposed at a position closer to the antimagnetic ring 7, and the leakage magnetic flux of the induction heating conditioner 100 is suppressed as a whole, and the electric power recovered by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 can be effectively utilized. Since the load is driven by the power source, an induction heating conditioner 100 that achieves energy saving can be obtained.

Further, in the side view, the magnetic flux recovery coil 10 is disposed. A part of the light is superimposed on the heating coil 2 in the height direction, and the leakage magnetic flux interlinking with the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is increased, so that an effect of suppressing magnetic flux leakage can be obtained with high efficiency.

Here, it is explained that the antimagnetic ring 7 is not used, and only the magnetic flux recovery coil is used. 10 suppression of magnetic flux leakage. When the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is provided without using the antimagnetic ring 7, the magnetic flux leakage can be reduced. However, in order to suppress the magnetic flux leakage, it is necessary to short-circuit the both ends of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10.

Short-circuiting both ends of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 means The power conversion means 11 shown in Fig. 3 is not connected to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10. which is, Since the current flowing to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is consumed inside the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 generates heat, which is the same as the heat generation of the antimagnetic ring 7.

Moreover, the both ends of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 are not short-circuited, and are set. In the power conversion means 11, the current flowing to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is reduced, and there is a problem that leakage magnetic flux cannot be suppressed.

In contrast, in the first embodiment, the leakage magnetic recovery is used in combination. Since the coil 10 and the antimagnetic ring 7 can suppress the magnetic flux leakage and use the recovered electric power as the driving power source for the electric load, there is an effect that an induction heating conditioner that suppresses both the magnetic flux leakage and the energy saving can be obtained.

Moreover, compared with the case where the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is not used, The size of the magnetic ring 7 is reduced, and leakage magnetic flux can be suppressed, and an induction heating conditioner that realizes miniaturization of the antimagnetic ring 7 and low cost can be obtained.

Next, the configuration of the power conversion means 11 will be described. In this first As shown in FIG. 3, a single-voltage resonant power converter is used in the drive unit 3, and when the IGBT 25 is turned on in this configuration, the AC power source 20 passes through the diode bridge 21, the reactor 22, and the smoothing capacitor 23. A voltage at which the DC power supply circuit formed becomes a direct current is applied to the heating coil 2. Next, when the switching element 25 is rendered non-conductive, a resonance phenomenon occurs between the resonance capacitor 24 and the heating coil 2, and a resonance voltage is applied to the heating coil 2. By repeating this action, a positive and negative asymmetrical voltage is applied to the heating coil 2. Therefore, the electromotive force (voltage) induced by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 also becomes a positive and negative asymmetrical waveform. Fig. 4 is a view showing an example of a voltage waveform generated by the magnetic flux leakage recovery means 10 in a state where the electric power conversion means 11 of the first embodiment is not connected to an electric load. As shown in Figure 4, It is known that the peak value of the voltage peak on the positive side is different from the peak value of the voltage on the negative side, and the waveforms on the positive side and the negative side are also different.

In the first embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, as a power change In the alternative means 11, a half-wave rectifying circuit composed of a diode 27 and a capacitor 28 is used. This is because the voltage generated in the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 becomes positive and negative asymmetry as described above. In the case of using a bridge-type full-wave rectification circuit using a general diode bridge as the rectifier circuit of the power conversion means 11, when it is desired to rectify the positive and negative asymmetrical voltages of FIG. 4, the voltage is used (absolutely The voltage peak value on the negative side of the large value charges the capacitor. Therefore, the positive side of the voltage (absolute value) is lower than the charging voltage of the negative side, and the capacitor cannot be charged, that is, the current cannot flow.

Therefore, even if a bridge full-wave rectifier circuit using a diode bridge is used, Also, since the current flows into the capacitor only when the voltage (absolute value) is large, the current flowing to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 substantially becomes the same waveform as that of the half-wave rectifier circuit.

That is, in a bridge full-wave rectification circuit composed of four diodes, The two diodes always flow without current, are not required to be electrically, and have a problem of causing an increase in the size of the substrate or a high cost. However, in the first embodiment, since the power conversion means 11 including the half-wave rectifier circuit having one diode 27 is used, the AC voltage generated in the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is made DC, so that the bridge type is used. Compared with the full-wave rectification circuit, the circuit can be simplified, and the miniaturization and low cost can be achieved.

Fig. 5 is a view showing a section 11 of the power conversion hand in the first embodiment. A diagram of the current waveform of the state in which the electrical load is connected, (a) the flow to the heating coil 2 The hot coil current, (b) is the recovered coil current flowing to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10. As shown in FIG. 5, while the current flowing to the heating coil 2 (heating coil current) is negative, a current of a substantially similar waveform of positive and negative inversion flows to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10.

During this period, the charging current that charges the capacitor 28 in the path of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 → the diode 27 → the capacitor 28 → the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 can be used to cancel the magnetic flux leakage from the heating coil 2 by the charging current. Therefore, the leakage flux interlinking with the antimagnetic ring 7 provided above the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is reduced, and the heat generation of the antimagnetic ring 7 can be suppressed, and the loss can be reduced. Further, since the electromotive force generated by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 can effectively utilize the driving power source for the electric load such as the driving unit 3 or the cooling means 8, an induction heating conditioner 100 that achieves energy saving can be obtained.

Next, a configuration example of the power conversion means 11 configured to recover magnetic flux leakage more efficiently will be described. Fig. 6 is a modification of the circuit configuration diagram of the induction heating conditioner of the first embodiment. In the example shown in Fig. 6, the power conversion means 11 constitutes a so-called voltage doubler rectifier circuit composed of two diodes 27a and 27b and two capacitors 28a and 28b.

Next, the operation will be described. Fig. 7 is a view showing the flow of current to the heating coil 2 (heating coil current) and the flow to the magnetic flux leakage recovery in a state where the electric power conversion means 11 shown in Fig. 6 is connected to the electric load such as the display operation unit 4 or the cooling means 8 A diagram of the waveform of the current of the coil 10 (recovered coil current), Fig. 7(a) shows the current waveform of the heating coil, and Fig. 7(b) shows the waveform of the coil current.

The power conversion means 11 shown in Fig. 6 is a period during which the positive side of the alternating current voltage generated by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 and the negative side are respectively A separate path causes current to flow to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10. That is, in Fig. 7, when the heating coil current is on the positive side, the current flowing to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 (recovery coil current) is in the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 → diode 27a → capacitor 28a → magnetic leakage recovery coil The path of 10 flows a charging current that charges the capacitor 28a, by which the magnetic flux leakage of the heating coil 2 is suppressed. Further, when the heating coil current is on the negative side, the recovery coil current flows in the magnetic flux recovery coil 10 → the capacitor 28b → the diode 27b → the leakage magnetic recovery coil 10, and the charging current is charged to the capacitor 28b, and the heating coil is suppressed. Magnetic flux leakage.

As a result, as shown in Fig. 7, the heating coil current waveform (a) and back The coil current waveform (b) is a current waveform having a substantially similar shape that is positively and negatively inverted, and the magnetic flux leakage from the heating coil 2 can be efficiently recovered during the positive side and the negative side.

In this way, according to the power conversion means 11 shown in FIG. The circuit configuration is such that the current that cancels the magnetic flux leakage flows to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 during the period between the period on the positive side of the current flowing to the heating coil 2 and the period on the negative side, that is, in the leakage current recovery coil 10 The effect of reducing the loss of the anti-magnetic ring 7 above the magnetic recovery coil 10 is larger than that of the half-wave rectifying circuit constituting the power conversion means 11, and the induction heating conditioner 100 which realizes more energy saving can be obtained.

In addition, in the above description, description is given as one of the drive units 3 An example of the stone voltage resonance inverter is not limited thereto, and the drive unit 3 may be constituted by a half bridge type inverter. Hereinafter, an example in which the drive unit 3 is configured by a half bridge type inverter will be described.

Figure 8 is a circuit diagram of the induction heating conditioner of the first embodiment A modification of the figure is constructed. In Fig. 8, the half bridge type inverter package constituting the drive unit 3 The diode bridge 21 is connected to an alternating current power source (commercial power source) 20 and converts an alternating current voltage into a direct current; the direct current power source circuit is composed of a reactor 22 and a smoothing capacitor 23; and the heating coil 2 forms a resonant circuit. The resonant capacitor 24; the two IGBTs 25a and 25b that are switching elements; and the diodes 26a and 26b that are connected in parallel to the two IGBTs 25a and 25b.

Connected to the control unit 5 at the gate terminals of the respective IGBTs 25a and 25b, A control signal for causing the IGBTs 25a, 25b to be alternately switched is output. The other components are the same as those of the stone voltage resonance inverter shown in Fig. 3. Here, the above description shows an example in which an IGBT is used as a switching element, but other switching elements such as a MOSFET may be used. Further, when a MOSFET is used as the switching element, since the parasitic diode is formed between the source terminal and the gate terminal, the diodes 26a and 26b may not be provided.

In the case of a stone voltage resonance inverter shown in Figure 3, Since the voltage across the IGBT 25 becomes high, it is necessary to select a high withstand voltage IGBT. However, by forming a half bridge type inverter, the voltage across the IGBTs 25a and 25b can be reduced, and the IGBT has a higher degree of freedom of selection and low cost. The effect of the transformation.

In the half-bridge inverter, the electric power adjustment to the rice cooker 1 (fire The force adjustment is achieved by a so-called task control that changes the percentage of on-time (task ratio) of the IGBT 25a on the high side and the IGBT 25b on the low side. In other words, when the task ratio of the IGBT 25a is 50% and the task ratio of the IGBT 25b is 50%, the maximum power (maximum heating power) is put into the rice cooker 1; and the task ratio of the IGBT 25a is 40%. When the task ratio of the IGBT 25b is 60%, the input power is reduced. Further, when the task ratio of the IGBT 25a is 30% and the task ratio of the IGBT 25b is 70%, the input power is made smaller. In this way, borrow The input power to the rice cooker 1 can be controlled by changing the percentage of on-time (task ratio).

Here, the percentage of conduction time between IGBT 25a and IGBT 25b In the case where they are equal to each other (the task ratio is 50%), positive and negative symmetrical voltages are applied to the heating coil 2, and positive and negative symmetrical voltages are induced in the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10, but as shown above, in the case of performing firepower adjustment, The percentage of the on-time of the IGBT 25a and the IGBT 25b is changed, so that a positive and negative asymmetrical voltage is applied to the heating coil 2. Therefore, the voltage (electromotive force) induced by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 also becomes a positive and negative asymmetrical waveform.

In this case, as shown above, the bridge full-wave rectification circuit When the power conversion means 11 is used, the two diodes are always unused and are not required. Therefore, in the example shown in Fig. 8, the alternating current voltage generated in the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is used by the power conversion means 11 constituted by the half-wave rectifying circuit composed of the diodes 27 and the capacitors 28, respectively. Transform into DC. Therefore, since the number of the diodes 27 is one, the circuit can be simplified as compared with the bridge full-wave rectification circuit, and the induction heating conditioner 100 that is compact and low in cost can be obtained.

Moreover, as in the sixth drawing, as the power conversion means 11, if In the double-voltage rectifier circuit, since the current for canceling the magnetic flux leakage can be caused to flow to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 during the period between the period in which the current flowing to the heating coil 2 is on the positive side and the period in the negative side, the power conversion means 11 is used as the power conversion means 11 In the case of using a half-wave rectifying circuit, the effect of reducing the loss of the anti-magnetic ring 7 provided above the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 can be increased.

Further, as a fire in the drive unit 3 using a half bridge type inverter The other way of force control is the way to control the switching frequency of the IGBT (frequency control). This is a method of changing the switching frequency in a state where the on-times of the IGBT 25a and the IGBT 25b are equal to each other (task ratio 50%).

When the switching frequency is set to be low, the impedance of the heating coil 2 is lowered, and the input power to the rice cooker 1 is increased, and when the switching frequency is set to be high, the impedance of the heating coil 2 is increased, and the cooking pot 1 is The input power is reduced.

In the present frequency control, since the on-times of the IGBT 25a and the IGBT 25b are equal to each other, a positive and negative symmetrical voltage is applied to the heating coil 2, and a positive and negative symmetrical voltage is also induced in the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10. In this case, even if a power conversion means (not shown) including a bridge-type full-wave rectifying circuit of four diodes is used, since current can flow to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 during both positive and negative periods, it is comparable. The power conversion means 11 composed of the half-wave rectifying circuit further suppresses the magnetic flux leakage from the heating coil 2.

Further, the two-pole system used is increased as compared with the power conversion means 11 composed of the voltage doubler rectifier circuit. However, since it can be constituted by a capacitor having a relatively large size, it is possible to reduce the size and cost of the circuit.

Further, in the case where the driving unit 3 of the half-bridge type inverter is used, the combination of the heating power control for changing the on-time percentage of the IGBT 25a and the IGBT 25b and the heating power control by the frequency control are used because the coil is formed in the magnetic flux recovery means 10 In the case of a positive or negative asymmetrical voltage, it is preferable to use a half-wave rectifier circuit or a voltage doubler rectifier circuit as the power conversion means 11.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is disposed closer to the heating coil 2 than the antimagnetic ring 7, and since the magnetic flux leakage from the heating coil 2 is suppressed, it is generated in the antimagnetic ring 7. Inductive electricity The flow is reduced, the temperature rise of the antimagnetic ring 7 is suppressed, and the induction heating conditioner 100 which reduces power loss can be obtained. Further, by supplying the electromotive force generated in the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 to the cooling means 8 and/or the power supply unit 9, the driving power source for the electric load can be effectively utilized, and the induction heating conditioner 100 capable of achieving energy saving can be obtained. .

Further, since the heat generation of the metal element such as the antimagnetic ring 7 is suppressed, Therefore, the temperature rise inside the induction heating conditioner 100 is alleviated, and the cooling performance of the cooling means 8 can also be suppressed. Therefore, the cooling means 8 can be reduced in cost, size, and weight, and the noise caused by the operation of the cooling means 8 can be reduced.

Further, in the first embodiment, it is shown as a switching element. An example of an IGBT is used, but other switching elements such as a power transistor or a MOSFET can also be used. In the case where a large current flows in the switching element, in the case of a conventional IGBT or MOSFET using 矽 (Si) as the switching element, since the on-resistance is large, the heat of the element itself is large. Further, when the switching element is disposed in a vicinity of the heat generating element on the substrate constituting the inverter, for example, the resonance capacitor 24 or the diode bridge 21, the temperature around the switching element becomes high due to the influence of the element heat generation, and the switching element is provided. The possibility of the junction temperature rising.

Therefore, as the switching element, a switching element composed of a wide band gap semiconductor such as a gallium nitride-based material, tantalum carbide (SiC) or diamond is preferably used. For example, as a characteristic of a MOSFET using SiC (SiC-MOSFET), since the on-resistance of the element is small, the on-resistance does not rise even if the junction temperature rises. Therefore, the SiC-MOSFET can be disposed in the vicinity of the heat generating element, and an induction heating conditioner that realizes miniaturization and low cost of the driving circuit substrate can be obtained.

Here, another arrangement example of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 will be described. Fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a modification of the induction heating conditioner according to the first embodiment, and the antimagnetic ring 7 is provided on a part of the outer peripheral side of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10. That is, in the ninth diagram, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is disposed inside the antimagnetic ring 7 when viewed from the heating coil 2.

According to this configuration, since the magnetic flux leakage of the heating coil 2 is more effectively interlinked with the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10, the magnetic flux leakage of the entire induction heating conditioner 100 can be further suppressed. Further, since the induced current can be efficiently flowed to the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10, the induced current flowing to the antimagnetic ring 7 can be reduced, and the induction heating conditioner 100 which suppresses the heat generation of the antimagnetic ring 7 can be obtained.

Further, in the ninth embodiment, an example in which the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is disposed vertically in the longitudinal direction will be described. However, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 may be disposed obliquely. For example, by making the outer side of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10, that is, the outer diameter close to the side of the heating coil 2, and increasing the outer diameter of the side close to the antimagnetic ring 7, the magnetic flux leakage can be further suppressed.

Further, in the first embodiment, the antimagnetic ring 7 using a metal element such as aluminum or copper is described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and even if other metal elements are configured in the same manner as in the present embodiment, the same effect can be obtained. .

In the first embodiment, an example in which the electromotive force generated by the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is used as the driving power source for the driving unit 3, the display operation unit 4, the control unit 5, and/or the cooling means 8 is described. Alternatively, the electromotive force of the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 can be used as a power source for other electric loads.

Further, the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 is connected to the power supply unit 9 via the power conversion means 11, and the electric load is a combination of the electric power from the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 and the electric power from the power supply unit 9, but it may be used separately from the leakage. Magnetic recovery of the power of the coil 10. For example, the power from the magnetic flux leakage recovery coil 10 can also be used as a dedicated single power source for the cooling means 8. In this case, the power conversion means 11 is not necessarily connected to the power supply unit 9 via the diode 29, and the power conversion means 11 and the power supply unit 9 are electrically insulated. Further, although not particularly illustrated, a voltage stabilization (constant voltage) means such as a Zener diode or a 3-terminal voltage regulator or a switching regulator may be added to the rear end of the power conversion means 11, and A circuit that maintains a voltage whose diameter is changed by the power conversion means 11 at a constant voltage is provided.
