Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic cookers, and particularly relates to a continuous low-power device for an electromagnetic cooker. Background Art

[0002] The prior art uses an intermittent heating method to achieve such a low-power output. Although the average power output can reach the predetermined low-power target, this method has a problem that the heating cycle of the electromagnetic cooker switches too slowly (in seconds), and the firepower suddenly turns on and off, resulting in uneven heating. This discontinuous heating method cannot truly achieve a low-power working state, and it takes longer time and consumes more electricity to cook food than the continuous boiling state.

[0003] The prior art electromagnetic cooker cannot truly achieve continuous low-power heating mainly because the magnitude of the heating power is directly proportional to the conduction time of the IGBT. The longer the conduction time, the greater the reverse voltage generated after LC resonance, and the greater the heating power. When the electromagnetic cooker needs to output low power, the conduction time of the IGBT will be reduced, and the pulse width of the driving signal will be shortened. However, when the pulse width is reduced to a certain extent (that is, when the power is reduced to about 1000 W), the reverse voltage generated by LC resonance will have a small swing amplitude of the resonance voltage due to the small energy provided, so that the voltage cannot drop to zero potential when swinging downward, resulting in the next IGBT turning on before the collector-emitter voltage (VCE) drops to zero voltage, forming a so-called "hard switching" state, causing large losses and high temperature rise of the IGBT, and shortening the service life of the IGBT. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the problems mentioned in the above background art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a continuous low-power device for an electromagnetic cooker.

[0006] Preferably, the EMC circuit includes a varistor and a line filter capacitor; one end of the live wire of the mains is connected to one end of the fuse, and the other end of the fuse and the neutral wire of the mains are respectively connected to both ends of the varistor and the line filter capacitor.

[0011] A method for realizing continuous low power of a continuous low-power device for an induction cooker: When an output of less than 1000W of low power is required, the second resonant capacitor is disconnected from the resonant circuit through the relay drive circuit, and the first resonant capacitor and the coil disk are changed to form a resonant circuit. When continuously heating at a power lower than 1000W, the reverse voltage generated by LC resonance can swing lower due to the reduction of the resonant capacitor in the resonant circuit, thereby reducing or weakening the "hard switching" condition of the IGBT, and naturally reducing the loss and temperature rise of the IGBT.

Therefore, they do not have any technical substance. Any modification of the structure, change of the ratio relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects that the present utility model can produce and the objectives that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope covered by the technical content disclosed in the present utility model. In addition, in the following description, the descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present utility model.

[0021] Here, it should also be noted that in order to avoid obscuring the present utility model due to unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the present utility model are shown in the drawings, while other details less related to the present utility model are omitted.

[0022] Detailed implementation manner 1: As Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown in the figure, the present specific embodiment adopts the following technical solutions: It includes an EMC circuit, a rectifier filter circuit, a resonant circuit, an IGBT drive circuit, and a relay drive circuit; the EMC circuit is electrically connected to the rectifier filter circuit, the rectifier filter circuit is respectively connected to the resonant circuit and the IGBT drive circuit, the resonant circuit and the IGBT drive circuit are connected to the relay drive circuit, the resonant circuit is used for continuous low-power mode, and the relay drive circuit is used for the switching of the resonant circuit; the EMC circuit includes a varistor RT1 and a line filter capacitor C1; the rectifier filter circuit includes a rectifier bridge DB1, an inductor L1, and a smoothing filter capacitor C2; the resonant circuit includes a first resonant capacitor C3, a second resonant capacitor C4, and a coil COIL1, and the relay drive circuit includes a diode D1, a relay REL1, a triode Q1, and a resistor R906; the IGBT drive circuit includes an IGBT module IGBT1, a resistor R905, and a main control chip U1; the live wire of the mains is connected to one end of a fuse FU1, and the other end of the fuse FU1 and the neutral wire of the mains are respectively connected to both ends of the varistor RT1, the line filter capacitor C1, the 2 terminal of the rectifier bridge DB1, and the AC terminal. The 1 terminal of the rectifier bridge DB1 is connected to one end of the inductor L1, and the other end of the inductor L1 is respectively connected to one end of the smoothing filter capacitor C2, one end of the first resonant capacitor C3, one end of the second resonant capacitor C4, and one end of the coil COIL1. The other end of the smoothing filter capacitor C2 is respectively connected to one end of a resistor R3 and the E pole of the IGBT module IGBT1. The other end of the resistor R3 is connected to the V- terminal of the rectifier bridge DB1 and grounded. The other end of the coil COIL1 is respectively connected to the C pole of the IGBT module IGBT1, the other end of the first resonant capacitor C3, and the 1 pin of the normally open contact of the relay REL1. The other end of the second resonant capacitor C4 is connected to the 2 pin of the normally open contact of the relay REL1. The positive and negative poles of the diode D1 are respectively connected to the 3 and 4 terminals of the coil of the relay REL1. The 4 terminal of the coil of the relay REL1 is connected to the C pole of the triode Q1. The E pole of the triode Q1 is grounded.

[0023] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, a method for a continuous low-power device for an induction cooker to achieve continuous low power: when an output below 1000W of low power is required, the resonance capacitor C4 is disconnected from the resonance circuit through a relay drive circuit, and instead, a resonance circuit is formed by the resonance capacitor C3 and the coil COIL1. When continuously heating at a power below 1000W, the reverse voltage generated by LC resonance can swing lower due to the reduction of the resonance capacitor in the resonance circuit, thereby reducing or weakening the "hard switching" condition of the IGBT, and reducing the loss and temperature rise of the IGBT.

[0024] Specific implementation method 2: As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the difference between this specific implementation method and the first specific implementation method is that the resonance capacitor C4 is the second coil COIL2. Using the second coil COIL2 to replace the resonance capacitor C4 and adopting the method of switching the heating coil can also achieve continuous low-power heating.

[0025] This specific implementation method realizes continuous low-power heating by switching the resonance capacitor or the coil to reduce the effective reactance in the resonance circuit.

This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
