Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate assembly works and nullify abnormal loss in a switching element by putting the power under on/off control the current value flowing through a flywheel diode strides downward a specified value, and conducting frequency control. CONSTITUTION:An AC source is rectified by a rectifier circuit 1 and smoothened by a smoother circuit while a switching element 6 is turned on and off at a high speed to generate a resonant current in a resonator circuit. Thereby a high frequency magnetic field is generated at the surface of a deep pan 8, and heating takes place with an eddy current generated in the pan 8. Therein a load voltage is generated at the switching element 6, and a load current flows through a heater coil 4. Then an on-time control (frequency control) is conducted until a predetermined value is exceeded by the effective value of the diode current in a flywheel diode 7 for the given power value and pan material. If the on-time is decreased after the pan 8 is placed on the heater coil 4 and current feed is comenced, to lower the power, the current flowing in the diode 7 decreases and attains a certain value. Setting of minor power below this value is made on-off control.

In this method, when the on time is shortened in order to lower the output, the equivalent resistance of the heating coil 4 is increased and the equivalent inductance is decreased. Since the power is turned on at the next timing before the voltage waveform drops to 0 V or less, the on loss is significantly increased, and the switching element 6 may be deteriorated or destroyed.

The AC power supply is rectified by the rectifier circuit 1 and smoothed by the smoothing circuit, and the switching element 6 is turned on / off at high speed.
Then, the resonance current is generated in the resonance circuit, and the pan 8
A high-frequency magnetic field is generated on the surface of the pot, and as a result, heating is performed by the eddy current generated in the pan 8. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, a load voltage Vce is generated between the collector and the emitter of the switching element 6, and the load current I is applied to the heating coil 4.

This phenomenon is remarkable in a load having an improper impedance characteristic, for example, a stainless steel pan 8 and occurs at higher power. At this time, the load voltage Vce does not become 0V, and in that state, energization at the next timing is performed, so that a steep collector current flows in the switching element 6. As a result, excessive collector loss Pc occurs,
This causes the temperature of the switching element 6 to rise.
