- FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a cooktop and a cooking vessel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cooktop and a cooking vessel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the cooking vessel 1 may be positioned above the cooktop 10, and the cooktop 10 may heat the cooking vessel 1 located thereon.
- the cooktop 10 can generate a magnetic field 20 such that at least a portion of it passes through the cooking vessel 1 .
- the magnetic field 20 may induce an eddy current 30 in the cooking vessel 1. This eddy current 30 heats the cooking vessel 1 itself, and since this heat is conducted or radiated to the inside of the cooking vessel 1, the contents of the cooking vessel 1 can be cooked.
- the eddy current 30 does not occur. Accordingly, in this case, the cooktop 10 cannot heat the cooking vessel 1 .
- the cooking container 1 that can be heated by the cooktop 10 may be a stainless steel container or a metal container such as an enamel or cast iron container.
- the cooktop 10 may include at least one of a top glass 11 , a working coil 12 , and a ferrite core 13 .
- the top glass 11 may support the cooking container 1 . That is, the cooking container 1 may be placed on the upper surface of the top glass 11 . A heating region in which the cooking vessel 1 is heated may be formed in the upper glass 11 .
- the top glass 11 may be formed of ceramic tempered glass obtained by synthesizing various mineral materials. Accordingly, the top glass 11 can protect the cooktop 10 from external impact.
- the top glass 11 can prevent foreign substances such as dust from entering the cooktop 10 .
- the working coil 12 may be positioned below the top glass 11 . These working coils 12 may or may not be energized to generate the magnetic field 20 . Specifically, current may or may not flow through the working coil 12 according to the on/off of the internal switching element of the cooktop 10 .
- a magnetic field 20 When a current flows through the working coil 12, a magnetic field 20 is generated, and this magnetic field 20 may generate an eddy current 30 by meeting an electrical resistance component included in the cooking vessel 1.
- the eddy current heats the cooking vessel 1, so that the contents of the cooking vessel 1 can be cooked.
- the heating power of the cooktop 10 may be adjusted according to the amount of current flowing through the working coil 12 .
- the current flowing through the working coil 12 increases, the magnetic field 20 is generated more, and accordingly, the magnetic field passing through the cooking vessel 1 increases, so the heat power of the cooktop 10 can increase.
- the ferrite core 13 is a component for protecting the internal circuit of the cooktop 10. Specifically, the ferrite core 13 serves as a shield to block the influence of the magnetic field 20 generated from the working coil 12 or the electromagnetic field generated from the outside on the internal circuit of the cooktop 10 .
- the ferrite core 13 may be formed of a material having very high permeability.
- the ferrite core 13 serves to induce the magnetic field introduced into the cooktop 10 to flow through the ferrite core 13 without being radiated.
- the movement of the magnetic field 20 generated in the working coil 12 by the ferrite core 13 may be as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the cooktop 10 may further include components other than the upper glass 11, the working coil 12, and the ferrite core 13 described above.
- the cooktop 10 may further include an insulator (not shown) positioned between the top glass 11 and the working coil 12 . That is, the cooktop according to the present disclosure is not limited to the cooktop 10 shown in FIG. 2 .
- FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of a cooktop according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the induction heating cooktop includes a power supply unit 110, a rectifier unit 120, a DC link capacitor 130, an inverter 140, a working coil 150, a resonance capacitor 160, and an SMPS 170. It may include at least some or all of them.
- the power supply unit 110 may receive external power.
- the power that the power supply unit 110 receives from the outside may be AC (Alternation Current) power.
- the power supply unit 110 may supply AC voltage to the rectifying unit 120 .
- the rectifier 120 (Rectifier) is an electrical device for converting alternating current into direct current.
- the rectifying unit 120 converts the AC voltage supplied through the power supply unit 110 into a DC voltage.
- the rectifier 120 may supply the converted voltage to DC both terminals 121 .
- An output terminal of the rectifying unit 120 may be connected to DC both terminals 121 .
- the DC both ends 121 output through the rectifier 120 may be referred to as a DC link.
- the voltage measured across the DC terminals 121 is referred to as the DC link voltage.
- the DC link capacitor 130 serves as a buffer between the power supply unit 110 and the inverter 140 . Specifically, the DC link capacitor 130 is used to maintain the DC link voltage converted through the rectifier 120 and supply it to the inverter 140 .
- the inverter 140 serves to switch the voltage applied to the working coil 150 so that a high-frequency current flows through the working coil 150 .
- the inverter 140 may include a semiconductor switch, and the semiconductor switch may be an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) or a SiC device, but since this is merely an example, it is reasonable not to be limited thereto.
- IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
- SiC SiC device
- current may flow or current may not flow depending on whether the switching element is driven.
- a current flows through the working coil 150, a magnetic field is generated.
- the working coil 150 may heat the cooking appliance by generating a magnetic field as current flows.
- One side of the working coil 150 is connected to the connection point of the switching element of the inverter 140, and the other side is connected to the resonant capacitor 160.
- the driving of the switching element is performed by a driving unit (not shown), and is controlled at a switching time output from the driving unit to apply a high-frequency voltage to the working coil 150 while the switching elements alternately operate with each other. And, since the on/off time of the switching element applied from the driver (not shown) is controlled in a gradually compensated manner, the voltage supplied to the working coil 150 changes from a low voltage to a high voltage.
- the resonance capacitor 160 may be a component for serving as a shock absorber.
- the resonance capacitor 160 affects the energy loss during the turn-off time by adjusting the saturation voltage rise rate during the turn-off of the switching element.
- SMPS Switching Mode Power Supply
- the SMPS 170 converts the DC input voltage into a voltage in the form of a square wave, and then obtains a controlled DC output voltage through a filter.
- the SMPS 170 may minimize unnecessary loss by controlling the flow of power using a switching processor.
- the resonance frequency is determined by the inductance value of the working coil 150 and the capacitance value of the resonance capacitor 160. Then, a resonance curve is formed around the determined resonance frequency, and the resonance curve may represent the output power of the cooktop 10 according to the frequency band.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating output characteristics of a cooktop according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- a Q factor may be a value representing the sharpness of resonance in a resonance circuit. Therefore, in the case of the cooktop 10 , the Q factor is determined by the inductance value of the working coil 150 included in the cooktop 10 and the capacitance value of the resonant capacitor 160 . Depending on the Q factor, the resonance curve is different. Accordingly, the cooktop 10 has different output characteristics according to the inductance value of the working coil 150 and the capacitance value of the resonant capacitor 160 .
- the horizontal axis of the resonance curve may represent frequency, and the vertical axis may represent output power.
- the frequency at which the maximum power is output in the resonance curve is referred to as the resonance frequency f0.
- the cooktop 10 uses a frequency in the right region based on the resonance frequency f0 of the resonance curve.
- the cooktop 1 may have a minimum operating frequency and a maximum operating frequency set in advance.
- the cooktop 10 may operate at a frequency corresponding to a range from the maximum operating frequency fmax to the minimum operating frequency fmin. That is, the operating frequency range of the cooktop 10 may be from the maximum operating frequency fmax to the minimum operating frequency fmin.
- the maximum operating frequency fmax may be the IGBT maximum switching frequency.
- the IGBT maximum switching frequency may refer to a maximum driving frequency in consideration of withstand voltage and capacity of the IGBT switching element.
- the maximum operating frequency fmax may be 75 kHz.
- the minimum operating frequency (fmin) may be about 20 kHz. In this case, since the cooktop 10 does not operate at an audible frequency (approximately 16Hz to 20kHz), noise of the cooktop 10 can be reduced.
- the cooktop 10 may determine an operating frequency according to a heating power level set in the heating command. Specifically, the cooktop 10 may adjust the output power by lowering the operating frequency as the set heating power level increases and increasing the operating frequency as the set heating power level decreases. That is, upon receiving a heating command, the cooktop 10 may perform a heating mode operating in one of the operating frequency ranges according to the set heating power.
- the cooktop 10 may operate at the same operating frequency if the set heating power is the same.
- the resistance of the cooking vessel 1 is different, so that the cooking vessel 1 is heated due to different outputs even though the set heating power is the same.
- There are problems with time, speed, etc. In particular, when heating the cooking vessel 1, which is a non-magnetic material, in the case of the cooking vessel 1, resistance is low, so that the cooktop 1 cannot produce high output.
- the present disclosure intends to provide a cooktop capable of heating containers made of different materials, that is, a magnetic container and a non-magnetic container, each with a minimum predetermined reference output (eg, 2 kW) or more.
- a minimum predetermined reference output eg, 2 kW
- an object of the present disclosure is to provide a cooktop capable of heating a magnetic material and a non-magnetic material in the same cooking zone while reducing manufacturing cost and reducing volume because it does not have a separate switching structure.
- the present disclosure seeks to increase the output of the non-magnetic material by increasing the operating frequency.
- the cooktop 10 may increase the operating frequency of the inverter 140 higher than the existing operating frequency (approximately 20 to 50 kHz).
- the operating frequency of the inverter 140 may be about twice or more than the existing operating frequency.
- the inverter 140 may operate in a frequency band of 50 kHz or higher.
- the result of the output experiment for each of the magnetic body and the non-magnetic body according to the number of turns of the working coil 12 may be as shown in FIG. 5 .
- 5 is data obtained by measuring the output of each of a magnetic body and a non-magnetic body according to the number of turns of a working coil according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the example of FIG. 5 is the output measured while changing the number of turns and the capacitor of the rectangular working coil 12 when the working coil 12 is 200 ⁇ 170 mm 2 .
- Clad is STS430, indicating a magnetic container, and STS304 may indicate a non-magnetic container.
- the output for the magnetic container is 3.4 kW and the output for the non-magnetic container is 2.2 kW, referring to the data in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the output can be stably secured when the number of turns is 13T to 16T.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the driving frequency in the experiment according to FIG. 5 .
- the driving frequency is around the resonant frequency, which may cause severe heat generation of the switch due to control errors, on/off signal delay of the gate signal, and the like.
- the heating time may be increased because the output is lower than the rated output.
- the working coil 12 is designed to reduce turns in order to secure performance for the magnetic container and the non-magnetic container.
- the cooktop 10 seeks to secure operation stability by limiting the number of turns of the working coil. And, by limiting the number of turns of the working coil, it is possible to maintain the reactance of the working coil even though the operating frequency is increased. That is, considering Equation 1 for calculating reactance, assuming that the operating frequency is increased by a factor of 2, the inductance must be halved to maintain the reactance. This can be easily confirmed through Equation 2.
- a cooktop according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include only working coils corresponding to half of the working coils that may be disposed at positions corresponding to the heating region. That is, the number of turns corresponding to half of the maximum number of turns that can be disposed at a position corresponding to the heating region may be disposed on the working coil. Depending on the embodiment, about 1 or 2 turns may be added or omitted within the actual increase rate of the operating frequency and designable limits.
- a method for calculating the maximum number of turns may be as follows.
- the area of the heating region can be obtained.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a heating region of a cooktop according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the working coil 12 may be arranged in a circular or rectangular shape. That is, the working coil 12 may be wound along a circle as shown in FIG. 7(a) or may be wound along a square as shown in FIG. 7(b). In this case, the predetermined area including the center may be an area where the temperature sensor is disposed. Therefore, the inner diameter (including the horizontal inner diameter and the vertical inner diameter) may require a minimum distance at which the magnetic field generated from the working coil 12 does not affect the temperature sensor.
- the working coil 12 is disposed between the inner diameter and the outer diameter, and may be wound from the center to the outside or from the outside to the center.
