Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、二重絶縁を施したした高周波加熱装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電子レンジ等の高周波加熱装置は内部に高電圧を発生させる為にアースの施工が義務付けられている。洗濯機も同様にアースが義務付けられているが、これは浴槽付近など水に濡れる可能性の大きい環境で使用する為に当然と考えられ、また大型、重量機器であり、移動は考えられないからアース施工に違和感はあまり無い。しかし電子レンジは小型軽量化が進行し、トースターレンジなどの食卓上で使用する方が便利な機器が普及し始めているが、食卓上の機器ににアースを施工する事は困難である。従って機器を台所に置き、調理済の食品を食卓に運ぶ不便を忍ばなければならなかったのである。これに関して電気用品取締法では、二重絶縁を施せばアース端子無しの電子レンジも可能である旨が記載され、過去にアース端子の無い電子レンジが市販された例がある。二重絶縁とは通常の絶縁である基礎絶縁に加えて同等以上の絶縁性能を有する付加絶縁を施し、安全性を向上させたものである。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし全ての電気部品に二重絶縁を施せば高価かつ大型になる。特に高電圧部品の二重絶縁は大型化を大幅加速し、小型軽量化低価格化競争下において製品の競争力低下を招いてしまう。二重絶縁の方法としては、個別部品に施さず、機器全体を絶縁物で覆う方法も認められているが、電子レンジは加熱室や高周波漏洩防止機構など金属が露出せざるを得ない部分があり、この方法の採用は現在まで皆無である。
【0004】
本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、金属を露出させた状態で二重絶縁を施した高周波加熱装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明の高周波加熱装置は、本体と、扉と、扉開閉連動の複数スイッチとを有し、前記本体と扉の、扉閉成時に外周となる部分を絶縁物で覆うと共に、直列接続される全スイッチの接点間距離の合計が、規格で定める絶縁距離以上となる個数のスイッチを、電源回路の各々の側に接続したものであり、これにより扉が閉じられている時は外周の絶縁物が、扉を開けた時には直列接続されたスイッチが、各々二重絶縁の付加絶縁となり、扉を開けた時に金属が露出する構成であるにも関わらず二重絶縁を満たす事ができる。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
請求項1に記載の発明は、本体と、扉と、扉開閉連動の複数スイッチとを有し、前記本体と扉の、扉閉成時に外周となる部分を絶縁物で覆うと共に、直列接続される全スイッチの接点間距離の合計が、規格で定める絶縁距離以上となる個数のスイッチを、電源回路の各々の側に接続したものであり、これにより扉が閉じられている時は外周の絶縁物が、扉を開けた時には直列接続されたスイッチが、各々二重絶縁の付加絶縁となり、扉を開けた時に金属が露出する構成であるにも関わらず二重絶縁を満たす事ができ、アースを施す必要が無く、食卓にも置ける小型軽量な高周波加熱装置が実現できる。
【0007】
【実施例】
以下本発明の実施例について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
【0008】
(実施例1)
図1は、本発明の第1の実施例における高周波加熱装置の電気回路図を示すものである。
【0009】
図1において、中央左側のAC100Vからフューズ1を介して二つの電源トランス2及び3に接続される。その先に常開接点を有する主たる発振停止リレー4の接点が直列に接続され、次いで常閉接点を有する短絡リレー5の接点が電源の両側を短絡する位置に接続され、さらに続いて常開接点の、従たる発振停止リレー6の接点が接続される。その先には片側に発振停止スイッチも含め合計10個づつのリレー接点が直列接続され、ファンモータ7、インバーター8が負荷として接続される。合計10個のリレーは全て描くと煩雑になるので破線の箱を描いて一部代替した。各々の接点距離は0.3mm以上であり、常開接点である。インバーター8の出力にはマグネトロン9が接続される。前述の電源トランス2及び3の二次側にはスイッチ回路10及び制御回路11が各々接続される。整流及び平滑回路等省略して描いてない。
【0010】
S極N極各々に感応するものを一対とし、4対のホールIC、12、13、14及び15を用いる。SN一対のホールIC12の出力は前記主たる発振停止リレー4にAND接続、短絡リレー5にOR接続され、一対のホールIC14の出力は前記従たる発振停止リレー6にAND接続される。その他の、一対のホールIC13及び15の出力は前記片側合計10個直列を構成する複数のリレーコイルに接続される。またホールIC14の出力が接続されたマイクロプロセッサー16の出力にも10個中の一部リレーコイルが接続される。また電源トランス2及び3はトランス単体に二重絶縁を施す。
【0011】
図2は本発明の第1の実施例における高周波加熱装置の正面から見た斜視図である。図2において、本体17及び扉18は扉18が閉じられた状態における外周部分は全て樹脂で覆われる。図には描かれてないが、吸排気用の開口部分は樹脂も開口を開けるが、内部の金属に指が届かない大きさとする。また図示の如く、扉18を開けた状態では、本体17の扉18との対向部分19は18−8ステンレス鋼の様な磁石に吸引されない材質の金属とする。この背後に前記ホールIC12、13、14及び15が取付けられる。操作部20はゴム等の柔軟性を有する絶縁物で覆い、表示部分21は透明なプラスチックで構成する。扉18には二極着磁の磁石22、23、24及び25を取り付け、その位置は扉18が閉じられた時に前記4対のホールICと一対一で対向し、また着磁極性も各々のホールICに対応してN又はS極を一致させる。
【0012】
図3はその磁石22とホールICとの関係を示す右方向から見た断面図である。二極着磁された磁石22の磁極と、ホールIC12の感応極性とを一致させる。
【0013】
以上のように構成された高周波加熱装置について、以下にその動作、作用を説明する。
【0014】
まず、扉18が閉じられた時には図3に示す如く一対のホールIC12と磁石22とが至近距離で対向し、かつ感応極性に一致した磁石であるからホールIC12はSN両者ともONし、その出力に接続された主たる発振停止リレー4及び短絡リレー5は共にONする。同様に、他のホールIC、13、14及び15もONし、片側10個づつのリレーは、マイクロプロセッサー16に接続された以外が全てONする。この意味において、磁石22とホールIC12の組み合わせを介して扉と10個のリレーは開閉連動していると言える。操作部20が操作され、動作開始されればこのリレーもONし、ファンモータ7が回転し、高周波が発振される。この時、本体17及び扉18の外周全てが樹脂で覆われているので、この樹脂が付加絶縁として機能する。
【0015】
扉18が開かれると対向板19等が露出する。しかし磁石が遠ざかるので全てのホールICがOFFし、マイクロプロセッサー16に接続されたリレーも含め片側10個づつのリレー全てがOFFし、その接点が開く。前述の如く各々の接点距離が0.3mm以上であるから10個直列した合計接点間距離は3mmを超え、これが付加絶縁そして機能する。日本での絶縁距離規格は現在3mmである。10個のスイッチの前に挿入された電源トランス2及び3は単独で二重絶縁が施されている。この様に扉18の開閉どちらの状態にも付加絶縁が存在し、機器全体として二重絶縁となる。
【0016】
以上述べた様に、本体と、扉と、扉開閉連動の複数リレーとを有し、前記本体と扉の、扉閉成時に外周となる部分を絶縁物で覆うと共に、直列接続される全リレーの接点間距離の合計が、規格で定める絶縁距離以上となる個数のリレーを、電源回路の各々の側に接続したものであり、これにより扉が閉じられている時は外周の絶縁物が、扉を開けた時には直列接続されたリレーが、各々二重絶縁の付加絶縁となり、扉を開けた時に金属が露出する構成であるにも関わらず二重絶縁を満たす事ができ、アースを施す必要が無く、食卓にも置ける小型軽量な高周波加熱装置が実現できる。
【0017】
なお本実施例では片側10個づつ、両側で20個のリレーを用い、絶縁距離3mmを達成したが、電気駆動されるスイッチであるリレーに限定するものではない。従来から発振停止スイッチとして用いられているマイクロスイッチを20個用いることも可能である。しかし20個のマイクロスイッチを扉の開閉で動作させるには、取りつけスペース及び扉開閉時の動作力の点で実際問題としてかなり困難ではある。この点本実施例では一対のホールICと、二極着磁した磁石のみを扉周辺に取り付け、リレー本体は離れた位置に置いて細い電線で接続すれば良いので、取付け可能であり、また磁石はホールICを吸引しないので開扉力も小さく、実用上問題にならないのである。
【0018】
個々のリレーの接点距離が大きなものを用いれば合計個数を少なくできる事は言うまでもない。
【0019】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、請求項1に記載の発明によれば、二重絶縁を施した高周波加熱装置が実現し、アース無しで卓上でも気軽に使用することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a high-frequency heating device provided with double insulation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
High frequency heating devices such as microwave ovens are required to be grounded in order to generate high voltage inside. The washing machine is also required to be grounded, but it is considered natural to use it in an environment where there is a high possibility of getting wet, such as near a bathtub, and because it is a large and heavy equipment, it is impossible to move it There is not much discomfort in grounding. However, as microwave ovens have become smaller and lighter and devices that are more convenient to use on a table, such as a toaster range, have begun to spread, it is difficult to ground the devices on the table. Therefore, they had to put the equipment in the kitchen and avoid the inconvenience of transporting cooked food to the table. In this regard, the Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law states that a microwave oven without a ground terminal is also possible if double insulation is provided, and there is an example in the past where a microwave oven without a ground terminal was commercially available. The double insulation is obtained by improving the safety by performing additional insulation having equal or higher insulation performance in addition to the basic insulation which is a normal insulation.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, if all the electric parts are double-insulated, they become expensive and large. In particular, double insulation of high-voltage components greatly accelerates upsizing, resulting in reduced product competitiveness under competition for smaller size, lighter weight and lower cost. As a method of double insulation, a method of covering the entire device with an insulator instead of applying it to individual parts is also accepted.However, in microwave ovens, there are parts where metal must be exposed, such as a heating room and high frequency leakage prevention mechanism. Yes, there is no adoption of this method to date.
[0004]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a high-frequency heating device in which metal is exposed and double insulation is performed.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the conventional problem, the high-frequency heating device of the present invention has a main body, a door, and a plurality of switches for opening and closing the door, wherein the main body and the door have a portion that becomes an outer periphery when the door is closed. Switches connected to each side of the power supply circuit with a number of switches that are covered with an insulator and whose total distance between the contacts of all switches connected in series is equal to or greater than the insulation distance specified in the standard. When the door is opened, the outer insulator is provided, and when the door is opened, the switches connected in series provide additional insulation of double insulation, and the metal is exposed when the door is opened. Can satisfy heavy insulation.
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The invention according to claim 1 has a main body, a door, and a plurality of switches for interlocking the opening and closing of the door. The main body and the door are covered in series with an insulator when the door is closed, and are connected in series. Switches connected to each side of the power supply circuit so that the total distance between the contacts of all switches exceeds the insulation distance specified in the standard. When the door is opened, the switches connected in series are double-insulated additional insulation.Even though the metal is exposed when the door is opened, the double insulation can be satisfied, Therefore, a compact and lightweight high-frequency heating device that can be placed on a dining table can be realized.
[0007]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0008]
(Example 1)
FIG. 1 shows an electric circuit diagram of a high-frequency heating device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
[0009]
In FIG. 1, two power transformers 2 and 3 are connected via a fuse 1 from 100 V AC on the center left side. A contact of a main oscillation stop relay 4 having a normally open contact is connected in series, a contact of a short-circuit relay 5 having a normally closed contact is connected to a position where both sides of the power supply are short-circuited, and then a normally open contact is provided. The contact of the subordinate oscillation stop relay 6 is connected. Beyond that, a total of ten relay contacts including an oscillation stop switch are connected in series on one side, and a fan motor 7 and an inverter 8 are connected as loads. If all 10 relays were drawn, it would be cumbersome. Each contact distance is 0.3 mm or more and is a normally open contact. A magnetron 9 is connected to the output of the inverter 8. A switch circuit 10 and a control circuit 11 are connected to the secondary sides of the power supply transformers 2 and 3, respectively. The rectifying and smoothing circuits are not shown.
[0010]
One pair responding to each of the S pole and the N pole is paired, and four pairs of Hall ICs 12, 13, 14, and 15 are used. The output of the pair of Hall ICs 12 is AND-connected to the main oscillation stop relay 4 and the OR connection of the short-circuit relay 5, and the output of the pair of Hall ICs 14 is AND-connected to the subordinate oscillation stop relay 6. In addition, the outputs of the pair of Hall ICs 13 and 15 are connected to a plurality of relay coils constituting a series of ten pieces on one side. A part of ten relay coils is also connected to the output of the microprocessor 16 to which the output of the Hall IC 14 is connected. The power transformers 2 and 3 provide double insulation for the transformers alone.
[0011]
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the high-frequency heating device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the outer periphery of the main body 17 and the door 18 when the door 18 is closed is entirely covered with resin. Although not shown in the figure, the opening for intake and exhaust also has an opening for the resin, but the size is such that a finger cannot reach the metal inside. As shown in the figure, when the door 18 is opened, a portion 19 of the main body 17 facing the door 18 is made of a metal such as 18-8 stainless steel which is not attracted by a magnet. Behind this, the Hall ICs 12, 13, 14, and 15 are attached. The operation section 20 is covered with a flexible insulator such as rubber, and the display section 21 is made of transparent plastic. When the door 18 is closed, the magnets 22, 23, 24 and 25 are attached to the door 18 in a two-pole magnetized manner, and the positions thereof are opposed to the four pairs of Hall ICs one by one when the door 18 is closed. The N or S pole is made to correspond to the Hall IC.
[0012]
FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the relationship between the magnet 22 and the Hall IC as viewed from the right. The magnetic pole of the magnet 22 that has been magnetized in two poles is made to match the sensitive polarity of the Hall IC 12.
[0013]
The operation and operation of the high-frequency heating device configured as described above will be described below.
[0014]
First, when the door 18 is closed, as shown in FIG. 3, the pair of Hall ICs 12 and the magnets 22 are opposed to each other at a short distance and coincide with the sensitive polarity. The main oscillation stop relay 4 and the short-circuit relay 5 connected to are turned on. Similarly, the other Hall ICs, 13, 14 and 15 are also turned on, and all the relays on each side are turned on except for being connected to the microprocessor 16. In this sense, it can be said that the door and the ten relays are linked to open and close via the combination of the magnet 22 and the Hall IC 12. When the operation unit 20 is operated and the operation is started, this relay is also turned on, the fan motor 7 rotates, and high frequency is oscillated. At this time, since the entire outer periphery of the main body 17 and the door 18 is covered with the resin, the resin functions as additional insulation.
[0015]
When the door 18 is opened, the opposing plate 19 and the like are exposed. However, since the magnet moves away, all Hall ICs are turned off, and all ten relays on each side including the relay connected to the microprocessor 16 are turned off, and their contacts are opened. As described above, since each contact distance is 0.3 mm or more, the total distance between the ten contact points in series exceeds 3 mm, which provides additional insulation and functions. The insulation distance standard in Japan is currently 3 mm. The power transformers 2 and 3 inserted before the ten switches are independently double-insulated. As described above, additional insulation exists in both the open and closed states of the door 18, and double insulation is provided for the entire device.
[0016]
As described above, all relays having a main body, a door, and a plurality of relays interlocking with the opening and closing of the door, wherein a portion of the main body and the door that becomes an outer periphery when the door is closed are covered with an insulator and connected in series The number of relays whose total distance between the contacts is equal to or greater than the insulation distance specified by the standard is connected to each side of the power supply circuit, so that when the door is closed, the outer peripheral insulation becomes When the door is opened, the relays connected in series are double-insulated with additional insulation.Even though the metal is exposed when the door is opened, double insulation can be satisfied, and grounding is required. And a compact and lightweight high-frequency heating device that can be placed on a dining table can be realized.
[0017]
In this embodiment, 10 relays are used on each side and 20 relays are used on both sides to achieve an insulation distance of 3 mm. However, the present invention is not limited to relays that are electrically driven switches. It is also possible to use 20 micro switches conventionally used as oscillation stop switches. However, in order to operate the twenty micro switches by opening and closing the door, it is quite difficult as a practical matter in terms of mounting space and operating force at the time of opening and closing the door. In this regard, in this embodiment, only a pair of Hall ICs and a magnet with two poles are mounted around the door, and the relay body may be placed at a remote position and connected with a thin wire, so that mounting is possible. Does not suck the Hall IC, so that the door opening force is small, so that there is no practical problem.
[0018]
It goes without saying that the total number of relays can be reduced by using a relay having a large contact distance.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a high-frequency heating device with double insulation is realized, and can be used easily on a desktop without grounding.
