Abstract

PURPOSE:To uniformly heat a material with respect to its cross section regardless of the change in the quality and thickness of the material in the device for electrically heating the material through an annular transformer. CONSTITUTION:The frequency to be set by a frequency phase converter 42 is set by a frequency conversion control part 44 in accordance with the quality and thickness of a material to be heated. In this case, the frequency f is set so that f<=K1+K2/w where K1 and K2 are the constants to be set in accordance with the quality and w is the thickness of the material. Since the frequency f is changed with the magnetic permeability, conductivity and thickness of the material, the reactance in the impedance of the material is reduced, and the cross section of the material is uniformly heated.

That is, the inner space of the iron core 22 is made slightly larger, and a protective partition wall 26 is provided inside the annulus so as to surround the feed passage L for the material W to be heated and which has an annular shape concentric with the iron core 22. The protective partition 26 has one layer or two layers as shown. The protective partition 26 in the case of one layer is made of a non-magnetic material, for example, a metal material such as stainless steel,
This prevents the material W to be heated from coming into contact with the primary coil 24 and being damaged by swaying when passing through the transformer 20 or splashing in an accident such as breakage. In the case of the two-layer protective barrier 26, the non-magnetic metal material is used as the inner layer 26a and the heat insulating material such as heat insulating fiber is used as the outer layer 26b. The primary coil 24 is prevented from burning due to heat. Further, when there is no risk of the heated material W damaging the primary coil 24, one layer may be formed of only a heat insulating material to prevent the primary coil 24 from burning. Note that the primary coil 24 may be a pipe material, and cooling water for cooling the primary coil 24 may pass through the pipe.

These constants K1 and K2 are determined according to the electric conductivity σ and magnetic permeability μ of the material to be heated. Therefore, for example, in the case of a heated material having a small electric conductivity σ and a large magnetic permeability μ, K1 is set small and the frequency is set low. This makes it possible to prevent uneven heating due to the material and to uniformly heat the cross section. Also,
With the term of K2 / w in the above equation, the frequency is changed according to the plate thickness, and the frequency is set low as the plate thickness increases,
Similarly, uniform heating of the cross section can be performed.

Among the above materials, for example, in the case of a nickel alloy, the resistance component of the impedance is large, and therefore the temperature deviation in the cross section does not easily occur even if the frequency is increased, so that the constants K1 and K2 are set to large values. It is set. Conversely, in the case of aluminum and aluminum alloys or copper and copper alloys,
Since the inductance is large, temperature deviation occurs when the frequency is increased. Therefore, the constants K1 and K2 are set to small values for these materials.

Although not mentioned in the description of the above embodiment,
It goes without saying that the temperature of the material W to be heated is controlled. That is, an input to the transformer 20 is predetermined so that any one of a required power, a required current, and a required voltage obtained in advance from the size of the material to be heated W, a feed rate, a specific heat, a predetermined temperature rising temperature, etc. is given. A preset method of setting and operating may be adopted. Although not shown, the temperature of the heated material W is measured on the outlet side of the apparatus, and if there is a difference between the measured temperature and the planned temperature, operate the power control switch. Alternatively, a feedback method of adjusting any of electric power, current, and voltage corresponding to the difference may be adopted.
