Specifically, when the temperature of the photodiode is low (Y degree) and when the temperature is high (X degree) (X> Y), the temperature of the cooking container 13 as the measurement object is the same. However, the current Is output from the photodiode increases. This is because the parallel resistance existing in the photodiode decreases as the temperature of the photodiode increases.

- the output of the operational amplifier 91 is limited by the power supply voltage depending on the type of the operational amplifier. Specifically, a Rail-to-Rail output operational amplifier outputs up to a power supply voltage, and if it is not a Rail-to-Rail output operational amplifier, it can output only below the power supply voltage.

- the amplification factor setting unit 15 shown in FIG. 2 sets the amplification factor of the amplification unit 10 according to the temperature of the infrared sensor 7 (the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 8). Specifically, the amplification factor when the temperature of the infrared sensor 7 detected at the start of heating or the temperature detection unit 8 is lower than a predetermined temperature is set to an initial value, and the infrared sensor 7 detected by the temperature detection unit 8 is set.

If the temperature of the infrared sensor 7 is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature (Yes in S503), the amplification factor setting unit 15 lowers the amplification factor of the amplification unit 10 (S504). If the temperature of the infrared sensor 7 is lower than the predetermined temperature (No in S503), the amplification factor setting unit 15 increases the amplification factor of the amplification unit 10 (S505).

(S507). If the temperature of the cooking vessel 13 is equal to or higher than the predetermined set value (Yes in S507), it is determined that the heating is abnormal, and the heating control unit 4 temporarily stops the inverter circuit 6 and temporarily stops heating ( S508). For example, heating is stopped until the temperature of the cooking container 13 becomes lower than a predetermined set value. If the temperature of the cooking container 13 is not equal to or higher than the predetermined set value (No in S507), it is determined that the heating is normal, and the heating control unit 4 continues the heating as it is.
- a predetermined set value for example, 300 ° C.
- the heating control unit 4 determines whether a heating end control command is input via the operation unit 14 (S509). If the heating end control command is input (Yes in S509), the heating control unit 4 stops the operation of the inverter circuit 6 and ends the heating. If the heating end control command has not been input (No in S509), the process returns to Step S501 and the heating with the set thermal power is continued.

本実施形態の誘導加熱調理器は、赤外線センサ7の温度が所定温度よりも高ければ、増幅部10の増幅率を下げている。よって、赤外線センサ7の温度が高い場合であっても、増幅部10の出力電圧Vaが飽和しにくくなり、調理容器13の高温側の測定温度範囲が狭くなることを防止することができる。これにより、赤外線センサ7を冷却することなく、調理容器13の温度を広範囲に測定することが可能になる。よって、調理容器13の温度を精度良く検出することができる。
図6~図8を用いて、本発明の実施形態2の誘導加熱調理器について説明する。実施形態1の誘導加熱調理器は、高温側の測定温度範囲が狭くなることを防止した。実施形態2の誘導加熱調理器は、低温側の測定温度範囲が狭くなることを防止することを可能にする。具体的には、赤外線センサ7の温度に基づいて、電圧変換部9で使用される基準電圧の値を変更することにより、低温側の測定温度範囲が狭くなることを防止する。
本発明の実施形態2の誘導加熱調理器において、温度測定装置2以外の構成は、実施形態1と同一である。以下、温度測定装置2について説明する。図6に、本発明の実施形態2の誘導加熱調理器における温度測定装置2の構成を示す。本実施形態の温度測定装置2は、増幅率設定部15に代えて、基準電圧変更部12を含む。本実施形態の温度測定装置2において、赤外線センサ7、温度検知部8、電圧変換部9、増幅部10、及び温度変換部11は、実施形態1と同一である。
図7に、本発明の実施形態2の誘導加熱調理器の動作を示す。図7のフローチャートにおいて、ステップS704及びS705以外の動作ステップS701~S703とS706~S709は、図5の動作ステップS501~S503とS506~S509と同一であるため、詳細な説明を省略する。本実施形態においては、基準電圧変更部12は、温度検知部8が検知する赤外線センサ7の温度が所定温度(例えば、150度)以上かどうかを判断し(S703)、赤外線センサ7の温度が所定温度未満である場合(S703でNo)は、低い基準電圧V1を選択し、温度検知部8が検知する赤外線センサ7の温度が所定温度以上である場合(S703でYes)は高い基準電圧V2を選択する。
本実施形態では、基準電圧変更部12が、温度検知部8が検知する赤外線センサ7の温度に応じて、基準電圧Vrefの値を変更している。これにより、赤外線センサ7の温度が上昇したときに、増幅部10の出力電圧が0Vに張り付いてしまうことを防止することができる。よって、低温側の測定温度範囲が狭くならないようにすることができる。
実施形態2では、赤外線センサ7の温度が所定温度以上になったときに基準電圧Vrefの値を変更したが、増幅部10の出力電圧Vaが基準電圧Vrefより低くなったときに基準電圧Vrefを変更してもよい。赤外線センサ7がフォトダイオードの場合、電圧変換部9は電流-電圧変換回路として動作する。図6に示すように、オペアンプ91のプラス端子には基準電圧Vrefが入力されているため、フォトダイオードから流れた電流Isは帰還抵抗92に流れ、その帰還抵抗92に流れた電流によって発生する電圧が基準電圧Vrefに重畳されて出力電圧Voutとなる。フォトダイオードが、フォトダイオード自身の温度よりも対象物の温度が高い場合に、出力される電流がオペアンプの方向に流れるように接続されていると、フォトダイオードの電流が逆に流れた場合に、帰還抵抗92で発生する電圧分が基準電圧Vrefから減算される。すなわち、出力電圧Voutは基準電圧Vrefよりも低くなる。この場合、低温側の測定可能な温度範囲が狭くなる。このような場合に、基準電圧を変更することによって、測定可能な温度範囲が狭くなることを防ぐことができる。
なお、実施形態1と実施形態2とを組み合わせても良い。これにより、高温側と低温側の両方において、測定温度範囲が狭くなることを防ぎ、調理容器13の温度を精度良く検出することができる。
