The present invention relates to an induction cooking hob comprising a plurality of heating units and a plurality of switching elements.
A problem with known cooking hobs is the fact that it is difficult to set the appropriate power for each heating unit so as to avoid any overheating of the switching elements which can lead to a malfunction or can destroy parts of the induction cooking hob and the comprised circuits or electrical components such as the switching elements itself.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved induction cooking hob which allows a more precise temperature estimation and power control of the switching elements.
The object of the present invention is achieved by the induction cooking hob according to claim 1.
The induction cooking hob according to the present invention includes a plurality of temperature sensors, wherein each of the temperature sensors is connected to a leg of one of the switching elements, wherein the temperature sensors are adapted to sense the temperature of the dedicated switching element .
Since like this each switching element is associated with a (separate) respective temperature sensor being connected to a leg of the switching element, wherein the temperature sensor is adapted to sense the temperature of the switching element, a more precise temperature estimation and control of the switching element can be achieved. As a result the power fed into or through the switching elements can be better controlled and an overheating of the components of the induction cooking hob, especially of the related switching element, can be avoided.

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic circuit of an induction cooking hob according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic view onto a PCB carrying one switching element of FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic circuit diagram of the induction cooking hob according to the present invention.
On the left side, a thermistor circuit 10 is shown comprising a thermistor 12 connected to a potential VCc 14 and a common ground 42. The thermistor 12 is arranged at or nearby a joint of a switching element such as an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) 26. IGBT 26 is part of a power generator 20 or inverter which feeds electrical power to a resonant circuit 32 comprising an induction coil 34 and a capacitor 36. Induction coil 34 is associated to a heating unit 50 which can be used to heat a load 38 such as a pan or a pot or the like.
Power generator 20 can be realized by or comprise a half-bridge inverter 22 comprising an additional IGBT 24 and two diodes 28 and 30. Alternatively, the power generator 20 can also be realized by other means such as a guasi-resonant converter comprising only one switching element such as an IGBT. Half-bridge inverter 22 is connected to a potential VBos 40 and also to common ground 42. The dotted line in FIG. 1 illustrates that thermistor circuit 10 with thermistor 12 and power generator 20 comprising or consisting of half-bridge inverter 22 (or another type of inverter) not only share the same common electrical ground 42, but IGBT 26 and thermistor 12 are arranged at a small distance or in contact with each other so that thermistor 12 is also thermally connected to IGBT 26. Therefore, thermistor 12 can be used for detecting the specific temperature of IGBT 26.
Electrical connection 16 connects thermistor 12 to a microcontroller (not shown) which is used to control or feedback- control the electrical power provided to and fed into power generator 20. Due to the thermal connection of thermistor 12 to IGBT 26 a more precise temperature estimation of IGBT 26 is achieved. Therefore, power control and power delivery to the power generator 20 can be controlled in a more precise manner so as to avoid an overheating of IGBT 26 and/or other parts of the circuit . An improved power regulation and temperature control of the induction cooking hob is achieved. Thermistor 12 can be used to limit the maximum temperature of the components of the power generator 20 by modulating the power by means of the controller, wherein the latter can be a microcontroller running a respective software or program.
Fig. 2 shows schematic view onto thermistor 12 and IGBT 26 of Fig. 1 which both are mounted onto a printed circuit board (PCB) 44.
Thermistor 12 as well as IGBT 26 are SMDs (Surface Mounted Devices) . In the embodiment of Fig. 2 thermistor 12 and IGBT 26 are mounted on opposite sides of PCB 44. Thermistor 12 and IGBT 26 are arranged close to each other or in contact with each other so that thermistor 12 is thermally connected to IGBT 26. One leg 46 of IGBT 26 and thermistor 12 share the same pattern potential of PCB 44 which means that they are not only in electrical contact (see common ground 42 according to Fig. 1) but also in thermal contact with each other through the metallization of the PCB .
Fig. 2 also shows a heat radiating fin 48 of a cooling body which is thermally connected to IGBT 26 so as to act as a heat sink for IGBT 26.
To further reduce the thermal load of power generator 20 and half bridge inverter 22 a cooling fan can be provided which sucks in air and directs a respective air flow towards the components of power generator 20 such as towards IGBTs 24 and 26 and fin 48. A further temperature sensor can be provided and replaced in or nearby an air inlet of such a cooling fan and can be adapted to measure the temperature of cooling air drawn in or ejected by the fan.

An induction cooking hob according to the present invention includes a plurality of temperature sensors, wherein each of the temperature sensors is associated and thermally connected to one of the switching elements, wherein the temperature sensors are adapted to sense the temperature of the dedicated switching element .
In a particular embodiment of the invention, an induction cooking hob comprises a plurality of heating units 50, a plurality of switching elements, and a plurality of temperature sensors, wherein each of the temperature sensors is electrically connected to a leg of a switching element, sharing a same (or in other words: common) PCB pattern with the respective temperature sensor, wherein the temperature sensors are adapted to sense the temperature of the dedicated switching element. Like this, the temperature of each switching element can be precisely measured by a corresponding temperature sensor. The precision is particularly good because each temperature sensor is directly connected to a leg of its corresponding switching element via a common PCB pattern element. It is in theory also possible that a multitude of switching elements shares a common temperature sensor via a common PCB pattern.
