[0002] A relay is a controlled switching component, which turns on or off a switching circuit according to a received control signal to achieve the purpose of controlling the load.

[0003] In a half-bridge electromagnetic heating system, a relay is usually used to control the connection or disconnection of a resonant heating unit to a half-bridge power supply, so as to realize the driving of multiple resonant heating units by one half-bridge power supply. However, since the relay is a large-current mechanical switching device, it is prone to failure, and its failure modes are two: one is that the relay receives a turn-off signal but cannot execute, i.e., the relay contacts are stuck and cannot be disconnected, and always remain in the on state; the other is that the relay receives a turn-on signal but cannot execute, i.e., the relay contacts cannot be attracted, and always remain in the off state.

[0032] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals indicate like elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout the several views. The embodiments described below are examples in which the present application is applied, and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0033] The relay fault detection method, the computer readable storage medium, the electromagnetic heating device, the relay fault detection device of the electromagnetic heating device, and the heating control system of the electromagnetic heating device provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] In the present application, the electromagnetic heating device includes but is not limited to a cooking device, a heating device, and a drying device heated by electromagnetism. As shown in FIG. 1, the electromagnetic heating device 100 includes a heating control system 110 and a plurality of relays 120.Figure 1 As shown, the electromagnetic heating device includes a plurality of resonant heating modules 110, a plurality of relays 120, and a half-bridge power supply module 130. Each of the plurality of relays 120 controls whether one of the resonant heating modules 110 is powered on. The half-bridge power supply module 130 is configured to provide resonant power to each of the resonant heating modules 110.

[0035] Specifically, each of the resonant heating modules 110 can include a coil disc L and a resonant capacitor C for resonant heating. The control module 140 can be a controller configured to send a heating control signal such as a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal and send a switching control signal (such as a release control signal and a pull-in control signal) of the relays 120, and receive an output signal of the current detection module 150. The half-bridge power supply module 130 is configured to receive the heating control signal output by the control module 140, drive the resonant heating module 110 to work in resonance through the current detection module 150 and the relays 120. The current detection module 150 is configured to sample an alternating current signal output by the half-bridge power supply module 130 and convert it into a direct current signal for transmission to the control module 140. In this embodiment, the current detection module 150 includes a current transformer 151 and a conversion module 152. The current transformer 151 is configured to convert the alternating current signal of tens of amperes output by the half-bridge power supply module 130 into an alternating current signal of tens of milliamperes. The conversion module 152 is configured to convert the alternating current signal output by the current transformer 151 into a direct current voltage or a digital switching signal and send it to the control module 140.

[0036] Figure 2 As shown in the flowchart of the relay fault detection method of the electromagnetic heating device according to an embodiment of the present application, the relay fault detection method of the electromagnetic heating device can include the following steps: Figure 2

[0037] Step S201: Control the plurality of relays to be all released, and output a heating control signal to the half-bridge power supply module to drive the resonant heating module in the powered-on state to work in resonance through the half-bridge power supply module.

[0038] Step S202: Obtain the output current of the half-bridge power supply module, and perform a sticking fault detection on the plurality of relays according to the output current of the half-bridge power supply module.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 ​As shown, the adhesion fault detection of the plurality of relays can be performed first. In the detection, the plurality of relays 120 are first controlled to be all disconnected. The disconnection can be realized by the control module 140 outputting a disconnection control signal to each relay 120. For example, the S1, S2, …, Sn pins of the control module 140 all output invalid levels (such as 0V), and the plurality of relays 120 control pins receive the invalid levels (such as 0V) to disconnect. Then, the control module 140 outputs a heating control signal such as a PWM signal to the half-bridge power supply module 130, so that the two switching tubes Q1 and Q2 in the half-bridge power supply module 130 are alternately turned on, thereby driving the resonant heating module 110 in the power-on state to perform resonant heating. At this time, for the resonant heating module 110 in the power-on state, the reason for being in the power-on state is that the corresponding relay 120 has an adhesion fault. At the same time, the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130 is obtained by the current detection module 150, and the adhesion fault detection of the plurality of relays 120 is performed according to the output current. In a specific implementation, the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130 can be detected to determine whether there is a current feedback signal. If there is a current feedback signal, it indicates that the relay has an adhesion fault. If there is no current feedback signal, it indicates that the relay has no adhesion fault.

[0040] In one embodiment, the adhesion fault detection of the plurality of relays according to the output current of the half-bridge power supply module includes: judging whether the output current of the half-bridge power supply module is zero; if the output current of the half-bridge power supply module is zero, it is determined that the plurality of relays all have no adhesion fault; and if the output current of the half-bridge power supply module is not zero, it is determined that there is a relay with an adhesion fault in the plurality of relays.

[0041] That is, if the plurality of relays 120 all have no adhesion fault, since the plurality of relays 120 are all disconnected, all the resonant heating modules 110 are not connected to the current detection module 150, and the output end of the half-bridge power supply module 130 has no load, so that the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130 is zero, and the output end of the current detection module 150 has no signal output. At this time, the control module 140 recognizes that the relay 120 has no adhesion fault. If at least one relay 120 has an adhesion fault, at least one resonant heating module 110 is connected to the current detection module 150, so that the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130 is not zero, and the output end of the current detection module 150 has a signal output. At this time, the control module 140 recognizes that the relay 120 has an adhesion fault.

[0042] Step S203: When it is determined that the plurality of relays all have no adhesion fault, each relay is controlled to be attracted in turn, and a heating control signal is output to the half-bridge power supply module to drive the resonant heating module in the power-on state to perform resonant work through the half-bridge power supply module.

[0043] Step S204: Obtain the output current of the half-bridge power supply module, and perform the pull-in fault detection on each relay according to the output current of the half-bridge power supply module.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, after confirming that the plurality of relays 120 are free from the sticking fault, the pull-in fault detection is performed on the plurality of relays 120. During the detection, each relay 120 is controlled to be pulled in in turn, and a heating control signal is output to the half-bridge power supply module 130, so as to drive the resonant heating module 110 in the powered state to perform the resonant operation through the half-bridge power supply module 130, and the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130 is obtained, and the pull-in fault detection is performed on each relay 120 according to the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the control of the pull-in of each relay in turn includes: controlling the pull-in of a current relay in the plurality of relays, and controlling the disconnection of the other relays in the plurality of relays.

[0045] That is, when the pull-in fault detection is performed on a certain relay 120, the relay 120 is controlled to be pulled in, and the other relays 120 are controlled to be disconnected, and a heating control signal such as a PWM signal is output to the half-bridge power supply module 130, so as to drive the resonant heating module 110 in the powered state to perform the resonant operation through the half-bridge power supply module 130, where the resonant heating module 110 in the powered state is the resonant heating module 110 corresponding to the relay 120 in the pulled-in state. At the same time, the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130 is obtained through the current detection module 150, and the pull-in fault detection is performed on the relay 120 according to the output current. In a specific implementation, the obtaining of the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130 can be the detection of whether there is a current feedback signal. If there is a current feedback signal, it indicates that the relay has no pull-in fault; if there is no current feedback signal, it indicates that the relay has a pull-in fault.

[0046] In one embodiment, the pull-in fault detection on each relay according to the output current of the half-bridge power supply module includes: judging whether the output current of the half-bridge power supply module is zero; if the output current of the half-bridge power supply module is zero, it is determined that the currently pulled-in relay has a pull-in fault; and if the output current of the half-bridge power supply module is not zero, it is determined that the currently pulled-in relay has no pull-in fault.

[0047]

[0048] ​That is, in the case where none of the plurality of relays 120 has a sticking fault, the control controls one of the relays 120 to be attracted, for example, the S1 pin of the control module 140 outputs a valid level (e.g. 5V), and outputs a heating control signal to the half-bridge power module 130, so that the switch tubes Q1 and Q2 in the half-bridge power module 130 are alternately turned on. If the relay 120 is normally attracted, the resonant heating module 110 corresponding to the relay 120 will be connected to the current detection module 150, the output current of the half-bridge power module 130 is not zero, and the output end of the current detection module 150 has a signal output. At this time, the control module 140 identifies that the relay 120 has no attraction fault. If the relay 120 has an attraction fault, all resonant heating modules 110 are not connected to the current detection module 150, and the output end of the half-bridge power module 130 has no load, so that the output current of the half-bridge power module 130 is zero, and the output end of the current detection module 150 has no signal output. At this time, the control module 140 identifies that the relay 120 has an attraction fault.

[0049] After the attraction fault detection of the relay is completed, the attraction fault detection of the other relays to be detected is performed in the above steps in turn, which will not be described here.

[0050] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, before the relay fault detection, that is, before step S201, step S200 of controlling the heating permission flag to be cleared can also be included. After the relay fault detection, that is, after step S204, step S205 of setting the heating permission flag to 1 after confirming that the plurality of relays of the electromagnetic heating device have no sticking fault and attraction fault can also be included. Figure 3

[0051] That is, before the relay fault detection, the heating permission flag is cleared first to prohibit the electromagnetic heating device from performing the heating work, so as to prevent the heating work in the case of relay fault from causing a safety accident. Then, the plurality of relays are detected for the sticking fault in the foregoing manner, and after all the relays have no sticking fault, the plurality of relays are detected for the attraction fault in the foregoing manner, and after all the relays have no attraction fault, the heating permission flag is set to 1 to allow the electromagnetic heating device to perform the heating work. It should be noted that when any one of the relays has a sticking fault or an attraction fault, the relay fault detection process can be directly exited and an alarm is given.

[0052] Therefore, before the electromagnetic heating device is heated, the relays are detected for the sticking fault and the attraction fault, and the heating is allowed when there is no sticking fault and attraction fault, and the heating is prohibited when there is a sticking fault or an attraction fault, so as to improve the safety of the electromagnetic heating device.

[0053] ​In summary, according to the relay fault detection method of the electromagnetic heating device in the embodiment of the present application, by controlling multiple relays to be all disconnected, and outputting a heating control signal to the half-bridge power module, so that the half-bridge power module drives the resonant heating module in the power-on state to perform resonant operation, and simultaneously acquiring the output current of the half-bridge power module, and then detecting the sticking fault of the multiple relays according to the output current of the half-bridge power module, when it is determined that the multiple relays have no sticking fault, controlling each relay to be attracted in turn, and outputting a heating control signal to the half-bridge power module, so that the half-bridge power module drives the resonant heating module in the power-on state to perform resonant operation, and simultaneously acquiring the output current of the half-bridge power module, and then detecting the attraction fault of each relay according to the output current of the half-bridge power module. Therefore, the sticking and attraction faults of the relays before the electromagnetic heating device is heated can be detected, which provides a strong guarantee for whether the safe heating can continue, thereby effectively improving the safety of the electromagnetic heating device, and helping to prevent safety accidents caused thereby.

[0054] In one embodiment, a computer readable storage medium is provided, and the electromagnetic heating device relay fault detection program is stored on the computer readable storage medium, and the electromagnetic heating device relay fault detection program is executed by a processor to implement the above-mentioned electromagnetic heating device relay fault detection method.

[0055] For the purpose of this specification, a "computer-readable medium" can be any apparatus that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transport the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. More specific examples (a non-exhaustive list) of the computer-readable medium include the following: an electrical connection having one or more wires (electrical apparatus), a portable computer diskette (magnetic apparatus), a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), an optical fiber apparatus, and a portable compact disc read-only memory (CDROM). In addition, the computer-readable medium can even be paper or another suitable medium on which the program can be printed, because the program can be electronically obtained, for example, by optical scanning of the paper or other medium, followed by electronic conversion into a form that can be further processed by a computer, and then stored in a computer memory.

[0056] According to the computer readable storage medium in the embodiment of the present application, since the electromagnetic heating device relay fault detection program is stored on the storage medium, and the program is executed by a processor to implement the above-mentioned electromagnetic heating device relay fault detection method. Therefore, the sticking and attraction faults of the relays before the electromagnetic heating device is heated can be detected, which provides a strong guarantee for whether the safe heating can continue, thereby effectively improving the safety of the electromagnetic heating device, and helping to prevent safety accidents caused thereby.

[0057] Figure 4 Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electromagnetic heating device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Fig. 1, the electromagnetic heating device 200 comprises a memory 201, a processor 202, and a relay fault detection program of the electromagnetic heating device stored in the memory 201 and executable in the processor 202. When the processor 202 executes the relay fault detection program, the above-mentioned relay fault detection method of the electromagnetic heating device is implemented. Figure 4

When the multiple relays are all free from adhesion fault, the control module controls each relay to be attracted in turn, and outputs a heating control signal to the half-bridge power supply module, so that the half-bridge power supply module drives the resonant heating module in the power-on state to perform resonant work, and at the same time, the output current of the half-bridge power supply module is obtained through the second fault detection module, and each relay is subjected to attraction fault detection according to the output current of the half-bridge power supply module. In this way, the adhesion and attraction faults of the relays before the electromagnetic heating equipment is heated can be detected, which provides a strong guarantee for whether the heating can continue safely, thereby effectively improving the safety of the electromagnetic heating equipment and helping to prevent safety accidents caused thereby.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present application, a heating control system of an electromagnetic heating equipment is provided, as shown in Figure 1 The heating control system 100 of the electromagnetic heating equipment includes multiple resonant heating modules 110, multiple relays 120, a half-bridge power supply module 130, a control module 140 and a current detection module 150.

[0066] Each relay 120 of the multiple relays 120 corresponds to control whether one resonant heating module 110 is powered on; the half-bridge power supply module 130 is used to provide resonant power to each resonant heating module 110; the control module 140 is used to output a disconnect control signal to each relay 120 to control the multiple relays 120 to be all disconnected, and output a heating control signal to the half-bridge power supply module 130 to drive the resonant heating module 110 in the power-on state to perform resonant work through the half-bridge power supply module 130; the current detection module 150 is used to detect the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130; the control module 140 is further used to perform adhesion fault detection on the multiple relays 120 according to the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130 to determine when the multiple relays 120 are all free from adhesion fault, control each relay 120 to be attracted in turn, and output a heating control signal to the half-bridge power supply module 130 to drive the resonant heating module 110 in the power-on state to perform resonant work, and perform attraction fault detection on each relay 120 according to the output current of the half-bridge power supply module 130.

[0067] In one embodiment, when the control module 140 performs the sticking fault detection on the plurality of relays 120 according to the output current of the half-bridge power module 150, the control module 140 determines whether the output current of the half-bridge power module 150 is zero. If the output current of the half-bridge power module 150 is zero, it is determined that none of the plurality of relays 120 has the sticking fault. If the output current of the half-bridge power module 150 is not zero, it is determined that there is a relay with the sticking fault in the plurality of relays 120.

[0068] In one embodiment, when the control module 140 performs the pull-in fault detection on each relay 120 according to the output current of the half-bridge power module 150, the control module 140 determines whether the output current of the half-bridge power module 150 is zero. If the output current of the half-bridge power module 150 is zero, it is determined that the currently pulled-in relay 120 has the pull-in fault. If the output current of the half-bridge power module 150 is not zero, it is determined that the currently pulled-in relay 120 does not have the pull-in fault.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the control module 140 controls each relay to be pulled in in turn, the control module 140 controls the current relay in the plurality of relays 120 to be pulled in and controls the other relays in the plurality of relays 120 to be all turned off.

[0070] It should be noted that the description of the heating control system of the electromagnetic heating device in the present application can refer to the description of the relay fault detection method of the electromagnetic heating device in the present application, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] According to the heating control system of the electromagnetic heating device, the control module outputs the turn-off control signal to each relay to control the plurality of relays to be all turned off, and outputs the heating control signal to the half-bridge power module to enable the half-bridge power module to drive the resonant heating module in the power-on state to perform the resonant operation. Meanwhile, the current detection module detects the output current of the half-bridge power module, and the control module performs the sticking fault detection on the plurality of relays according to the output current of the half-bridge power module to determine whether the plurality of relays all have the sticking fault. When it is determined that the plurality of relays all do not have the sticking fault, the control module controls each relay to be pulled in in turn, and outputs the heating control signal to the half-bridge power module to enable the half-bridge power module to drive the resonant heating module in the power-on state to perform the resonant operation, and performs the pull-in fault detection on each relay according to the output current of the half-bridge power module. Thus, the sticking and pull-in faults of the relays can be detected before the electromagnetic heating device is heated, which provides a strong guarantee for whether the electromagnetic heating device can continue to be safely heated, thereby effectively improving the safety of the electromagnetic heating device and helping to prevent safety accidents caused by the electromagnetic heating device.
