Induction cooker (1)
Driving circuit (2)
Fan motor (3)
Control circuit (4)
Referring now to the figures outlined above, the present invention proposes an induction cooker (1) comprising a cooling fan driving circuit (2) as defined in Claim 1.
The present invention proposes an induction cooker (1) having a cooling fan driving circuit (2). The cooling fan is coupled to an electrical DC cooling fan motor (3) whose speed can conventionally be controlled by way of varying the DC voltage applied to the motor windings.
The present invention features a cooling fan driving circuit (2) having a differential pair, i.e. a circuit having two sides symmetric to each other with two switching elements in parallel. Each side of the differential pair comprises a switching element (Q1, Q2) in the form of bipolar junction transistors (BJT). The skilled person would appreciate that the specific requirements, i.e. power range and switching frequency of the circuit for driving a small power cooling fan as in the present household appliance allows use of a regular specification switching element and as such BJTs are readily replaceable by other switching elements. Appropriate gate signals are applied through the resistances R3 and R4 to drive the switching elements such that they are biased into conduction as explained below.
The differential pair of the driving circuit (2) is disposed in series with the cooling fan motor (3); one terminal of the winding thereof is connected to a DC voltage source generating cooling fan motor (3) feeding voltage Vcc. In this configuration, the differential pair acts as a voltage regulator such that in the event that Q2 is in conduction mode, the cooling fan motor (3) shares Vcc with a resistance R1. In other words, voltage drop across the terminals of R1 causes active power dissipation and the cooling fan is driven at an offset voltage. Since Q2 is in series with R1 and the latter two in parallel with Q1, when Q1 is triggered into conduction by a proper gate signal, Vcc is directly supplied to the load, i.e. to the cooling fan motor (3).
Due to the fact that, by adjusting the time duration Q1 remains in conduction, one can regulate the effective voltage applied to the fan motor. Q2 is operated in continuous conduction mode and Vcc-VR1 is fed to the load in the event Q1 is not conducting. Therefore the duty cycle of Q1 determines the effective DC voltage and therefore the speed of the cooling fan.
The present invention addresses the noise performance problem by dynamically changing the cooling fan’s speed and therefore operational noise performance according to the electronic driving circuit (2) involving simplicity and sensitive control as explained above. The electronic control circuit (4) according to the invention conventionally receives temperature feedback (TEMP), power level feedback (P) or speed feedback (S) in order for regulating the power transferred to the cooling fan. For example, in the event that only one hob ring is turned on, the switching power component generating the high frequency current in the induction coil must still be cooled down but a reduced cooling fan speed could be adequate for obtaining the desired effect. To this end, Q1 in the fan driving circuit (2) is not biased into conduction by the control circuit (4) and the offset voltage, i.e. the minimum voltage obtained when Q2 is operated in continuous conduction mode is read between input terminals of the cooling fan motor (3) winding.
The latter situation may also be the case where the control circuit (4) establishes that the actual temperature is far from exceeding reference boundary values and a reduced cooling fan speed is adequate for sound operation, despite the fact that all hob rings are switched on. In this case Vavg or Vmin in Fig. 3 is equal to the offset voltage Vcc-VR1.
Cooling fan speed can be increased by using a duty cycle of %50 for Q1, that is, by adjusting on and off times of Q1 in conduction mode in the switching period (Ts). The conduction time T1 over the switching period (Ts), hence the duty cycle is dynamically modified by the control circuit (4). In case where a reduced cooling fan speed is not adequate for keeping operational temperature within the reference boundaries, the control circuit (4) will increase the duty cycle. For instance Fig. 4 demonstrates the situation where the duty cycle is 0,5. There can be cases where full power must be transferred to the fan despite the resulting fan noise. In this case, Q1 is conduction and Q2 is in non-conduction mode. Vcc is read between input terminals of the cooling fan motor (3) winding and there is no power dissipation across the terminals of R1.
According to the present invention, the square wave obtained by the on and off times of Q1 is independent of the switching frequency. A frequency value above 20 Hz. is suitable for changing cooling fan speed in an unnoticeable manner, i.e. with smooth noise level transitions.
The driving circuit (2) according to the present invention also provides the advantageous effect of extending operational life of the fan motor. The fact that the cooling fan motor is started only for a single time for a single cooking session or duration, the cooling fan motor’s (3) lifetime is not shortened by repetitive starting.
