圖3為本發明較佳實施例之一種頻率控制方法的流程圖,其係應用於如上所述之高周波加熱裝置1。 3 is a flow chart of a frequency control method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to the high-frequency heating device 1 as described above.

首先,頻率控制方法包含一掃頻步驟S101,其係取得對應其中一電容單元之一頻率範圍。當使用者一開始使用高周波加熱裝置1時,必會切換或使用一電容單元,而該電容單元具有一較佳之操作頻率範圍,故先藉由一掃頻步驟以取得對應該電容單元之該頻率範圍。於此,頻率範圍例如:當較佳的操作頻率為f時,則頻率範圍為fL與fH之間,fL=f-1kHz,fH=f+1kHz。藉由掃頻步驟,可使高周波加熱裝置1能快速並穩定開機,由於系統不可操作於共振頻率的左半平面一電容性負載,因此掃頻範圍是由高頻往低頻(例如從300kHz往下掃頻)進行掃描偵測;此法可使系統操作於共振頻率的右半平面一電感性負載,藉此避免系統操作於諧振點及電容性時產生之錯誤。 First, the frequency control method includes a frequency sweeping step S101, which is performed to obtain a frequency range corresponding to one of the capacitor units. When the user initially uses the high-frequency heating device 1, the capacitor unit must be switched or used, and the capacitor unit has a preferred operating frequency range. Therefore, a frequency sweeping step is first used to obtain the frequency range corresponding to the capacitor unit. . Here, the frequency range is, for example, when the preferred operating frequency is f, then the frequency range is between f L and f H , f L = f-1 kHz, f H = f + 1 kHz. By means of the frequency sweeping step, the high-frequency heating device 1 can be quickly and stably turned on. Since the system is incapable of operating a capacitive load in the left half plane of the resonant frequency, the sweep frequency range is from high frequency to low frequency (for example, from 300 kHz down). Sweep) scan detection; this method allows the system to operate on the right half of the resonant frequency, an inductive load, thereby avoiding errors in the system operating at the resonance point and capacitance.

然後,頻率控制方法包含一第一比較步驟S102,其係比較一輸入值與一偵測值。輸入值係由使用者所輸入的值,其可例如包含一頻率值、一溫度值、或一電流值,可分別依據定頻控制、定溫控制或定電流控制之需求而輸入。在本實施例中係以輸入值為電流值為例。而偵測值係藉由感測單元17所偵測的值,其亦可包含一頻率值或一電流值以對應輸入值。於此,當輸入值與偵測值(以電流值為例)相等時,則可穩定輸出交流驅動訊號SA進而產生 所需要的交變磁場MA,而此交變磁場MA可導致固定的電流產生於所要加熱的加熱體上,而達到定電流控制。同樣的原則可應用於定溫及定頻控制,於此不再贅述。 Then, the frequency control method includes a first comparison step S102, which compares an input value with a detection value. The input value is a value input by the user, and may include, for example, a frequency value, a temperature value, or a current value, which may be input according to requirements of fixed frequency control, constant temperature control, or constant current control, respectively. In the present embodiment, the input value is a current value. The detected value is a value detected by the sensing unit 17, and may also include a frequency value or a current value to correspond to the input value. In this case, when the input value is equal to the detected value (for example, the current value), the AC drive signal S A can be stably outputted to generate the required alternating magnetic field M A , and the alternating magnetic field M A can cause the fixed The current is generated on the heating body to be heated to achieve constant current control. The same principle can be applied to constant temperature and fixed frequency control, and will not be described here.

若第一比較步驟之結果為否,即偵測值實質不等於輸入值,則進行一第二比較步驟S103,其係包含判斷偵測值或偵測值所對應的頻率是否落在頻率範圍內。若第二比較步驟S103之結果為是,則將調變訊號SM之頻率調高一增加值(步驟S104),再進行第一比較步驟S102。增加值例如但不限於1kHz。由於調變訊號SM改變了,故感測單元17所感測的偵測值及偵測值所對應的頻率f亦改變,並使得頻率範圍fL~fH亦隨之改變。 If the result of the first comparison step is no, that is, the detection value is not substantially equal to the input value, then a second comparison step S103 is performed, which includes determining whether the frequency corresponding to the detection value or the detection value falls within the frequency range. . If the result of the second comparison step S103 is YES, the frequency of the modulation signal S M is increased by an increase value (step S104), and the first comparison step S102 is performed. The added value is for example but not limited to 1 kHz. Since the modulation signal S M is changed, the detected value and the detected frequency f of the sensing unit 17 also change, and the frequency range f L ~f H also changes.

接著,若第二比較步驟之結果為否,即偵測值所對應的頻率不落在頻率範圍內,則決定進行一誤差分布計算S105。 Then, if the result of the second comparison step is no, that is, the frequency corresponding to the detected value does not fall within the frequency range, then an error distribution calculation S105 is determined.

誤差分布計算係包含:對偵測值進行一預設量的取樣;若該等取樣的偵測值或其對應的頻率落在該頻率範圍fL~fH之上達一預設比例,則調高該調變訊號之一責任週期(步驟S106);以及若該等取樣的偵測值或其對應的頻率落在該頻率範圍fL~fH之下達一預設比例時,則調低該調變訊號之一責任週期(步驟S107)。於此,預設量例如為100或其他數字。圖4A及圖4B為誤差分布計算的示意圖。請參照圖4A所示,若該等取樣的偵測值或其對應的頻率落在該頻率範圍fL~fH之下達一預設比例(例如但不限於70%),則調低該調變訊號之一責任週期。就物理意 義來說,取樣的偵測值或其對應的頻率落在該頻率範圍fL~fH之下代表電流太大,所以調低該調變訊號之一責任週期,以使電流變小。 The error distribution calculation includes: performing a predetermined amount of sampling on the detected value; if the detected value of the sample or its corresponding frequency falls within the frequency range f L ~f H by a predetermined ratio, then adjusting Increasing one of the duty cycle of the modulation signal (step S106); and if the detected value of the sample or its corresponding frequency falls below the frequency range f L ~f H by a predetermined ratio, then lowering the One of the duty cycle of the modulation signal (step S107). Here, the preset amount is, for example, 100 or other numbers. 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams of error distribution calculation. Referring to FIG. 4A, if the detected values of the samples or their corresponding frequencies fall below the frequency range f L ~f H by a predetermined ratio (for example, but not limited to 70%), the adjustment is lowered. One of the duty cycle of the change signal. In the physical sense, the detected value of the sample or its corresponding frequency falls below the frequency range f L ~ f H to indicate that the current is too large, so the duty cycle of one of the modulation signals is lowered to make the current smaller. .

請參照圖4B所示,若該等取樣的偵測值或其對應的頻率落在該頻率範圍fL~fH之上達一預設比例(例如但不限於70%),則調高該調變訊號之一責任週期。就物理意義來說,取樣的偵測值或其對應的頻率落在該頻率範圍fL~fH之上代表電流太小,所以調高該調變訊號之一責任週期,以使電流變大。當然,藉由上述調變訊號的調整,亦使得頻率範圍改變。 Referring to FIG. 4B, if the detected values of the samples or their corresponding frequencies fall within the frequency range f L ~f H by a predetermined ratio (for example, but not limited to 70%), the adjustment is raised. One of the duty cycle of the change signal. In the physical sense, the detected value of the sample or its corresponding frequency falling within the frequency range f L ~ f H represents that the current is too small, so the duty cycle of one of the modulation signals is increased to increase the current. . Of course, the frequency range is also changed by the adjustment of the above-mentioned modulation signal.

在調高或調低調變訊號之後,再進行第一比較步驟S102。 After the modulation signal is turned up or down, the first comparison step S102 is performed.
