[0031] Example 1

[0032] This utility model is an AC induction heating power supply, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an input power supply, a rectifier and filter circuit, a DC backup circuit, an inverter power regulation circuit, and a resonant heating circuit.

[0033] The output terminal of the input power supply is connected to the input terminal of the rectifier and filter circuit. The input power supply is equipped with a surge protector. The rectifier and filter circuit converts the input AC power into DC power and filters it to output smooth DC power.

[0034] The DC backup circuit is connected in parallel with the rectifier and filter circuit. The output terminals of the DC backup circuit and the rectifier and filter circuit are both connected to the input terminal of the inverter power regulation circuit. The DC backup circuit includes a DC backup power supply, a reverse protection diode, and an alarm. The output terminal of the DC backup power supply is connected to the input terminal of the inverter power regulation circuit through the reverse protection diode and the alarm.

[0035] The input terminal of the inverter power regulation circuit is connected to the output terminal of the DC backup circuit and the output terminal of the rectifier filter circuit. The inverter power regulation circuit includes a full-bridge inverter and a power regulation circuit. The DC power output by the rectifier filter circuit is converted into high-frequency AC power by the full-bridge inverter. The output terminal of the power regulation circuit is connected to the input terminal of the full-bridge inverter to control the conduction state of the full-bridge inverter and adapt to the heating requirements at different stages.

[0036] The output terminal of the inverter power regulation circuit is connected to the input terminal of the resonant heating circuit. The resonant heating circuit includes an intermediate frequency transformer and a resonant circuit. The intermediate frequency transformer boosts and isolates the AC power. The resonant circuit includes a capacitor and an induction coil. The capacitor and the induction coil form an LC resonant circuit, which drives the induction coil. The induction coil generates an alternating magnetic field under the action of the current, converting electrical energy into heat energy.

[0037] Preferably, the input power supply is a 380V three-phase AC power supply.

[0038] Preferably, the frequency output by the inverter power regulation circuit is 1kHz to 20kHz.

[0039] Preferably, the full-bridge inverter includes four cascaded IGBT power switching elements, and the power regulation circuit is a PWM control circuit. The PWM control circuit controls the conduction sequence and switching speed of the IGBT power switching elements to adjust the output frequency. The PWM control circuit also controls the duty cycle of the full-bridge inverter to adjust the output power.

[0040] Preferably, it also includes a DSP processor, the output of which is connected to the input of a power regulation circuit, and the output of the power regulation circuit is connected to the input of a full-bridge inverter. The DSP processor controls the output frequency and output power of the full-bridge inverter through the power regulation circuit.

[0041] Preferably, the induction coil is made of a copper tube with high conductivity and silver plating on the surface, and the induction coil is spiral-shaped.

[0042] In this embodiment, the input power supply is a 380V three-phase AC power supply equipped with a surge protector. The surge protector is used to prevent damage to the equipment caused by overvoltage due to lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or switching operations, ensuring the stable operation of subsequent circuits. The surge protector in this embodiment includes a varistor (MOV, Metal Oxide Varistor), a gas discharge tube (GDT, Gas Discharge Tube), and a TVS diode (Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode). The varistor, gas discharge tube, and TVS diode are connected in parallel between each input wire and the ground wire (PE) to provide graded protection against surge voltage and discharge overvoltage to ground, thereby protecting the safety of the equipment and circuits. Specifically, the varistor: when the input voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the varistor, the varistor will rapidly reduce its impedance, dissipating the overvoltage energy to ground and protecting subsequent circuits; the gas discharge tube: under higher energy surge conditions, the gas discharge tube will conduct, rapidly shunting the overvoltage to ground; the TVS diode: with fast response speed, it can instantaneously suppress voltage spikes, providing protection for sensitive electronic equipment. The breakdown voltage of the surge protector in this embodiment is 430V~470V, and the response time is less than 25ns.

[0043] A 380V three-phase AC power supply is connected to a rectifier and filter circuit via wires. A full-bridge rectifier circuit converts the 380V three-phase AC power supply to DC power, which is then filtered by an LC filter circuit to reduce output ripple and improve stability. The stable DC power output from the rectifier and filter circuit is input to a full-bridge inverter composed of four cascaded IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) power switching elements, which converts the DC power to high-frequency AC power. The DSP processor, by acquiring crystal growth data or according to a pre-set program, controls the conduction of the four cascaded IGBT power switching elements via a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control circuit, thereby adjusting the output frequency and output power of the inverter power regulation circuit. Specifically: adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM control circuit signal controls the conduction time of the IGBT power switching elements, adjusts the output voltage amplitude, and thus adjusts the output power to adapt to the different heat requirements of the device at different heating stages; adjusting the frequency of the PWM control circuit signal controls the conduction sequence and switching speed of the IGBT power switching elements, and adjusts the output frequency. In this embodiment, the frequency range of the inverter power regulation circuit output is 1kHz to 20kHz, suitable for devices with different heating depth requirements.

[0044] In this embodiment, the current output from the inverter power regulation circuit is boosted and electrically isolated by a high-frequency transformer. Through an LC resonant circuit, a high-frequency oscillating current is generated, inducing an eddy current heating effect between the induction coil and the heated object. This improves heating efficiency, reduces power loss, and is more energy-efficient than traditional equipment. The induction coil in this embodiment is made of a high-conductivity copper tube, silver-plated, and spiral-shaped, which reduces resistance and eddy current losses, making it more suitable for localized heating during crystal growth.

[0045] This embodiment also includes a DC backup circuit, which comprises a DC backup power supply, a reverse protection diode, and an alarm. When the power grid fails and power is lost, the reverse protection diode conducts, and the DC backup power supply provides power to ensure the continuous operation of the resonant heating circuit and the uninterrupted growth of the crystal. However, the power of the DC backup power supply cannot be used for a long time. Therefore, an alarm is installed in the path of the DC backup power supply. When the DC backup power supply is turned on, the alarm will sound to alert the staff that there is a power grid failure and that it needs to be dealt with in a timely manner.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] This embodiment is a further explanation of the present invention.

[0048] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a water cooling system is also provided next to the rectifier filter circuit and the inverter power regulation circuit. The water cooling system includes cooling water pipes, heat sinks and a temperature control device. The temperature control device includes an embedded temperature sensor and a cooling water switch. The cooling water switch is installed on the cooling water pipe. The embedded temperature sensor detects the temperature and processes the data to control the cooling water switch to control the flow of cooling water.

[0049] In this embodiment, the embedded temperature sensor possesses lightweight data processing capabilities. It collects the temperature of the rectifier filter circuit and the inverter power regulation circuit, as well as the components therein. After processing the collected temperature data, it controls the opening and closing of the cooling water switch. If the collected temperature does not reach a preset threshold, heat dissipation is achieved solely through the heat sink. If the collected temperature reaches the preset threshold, the cooling water switch is turned on to achieve rapid heat dissipation and cooling. The water cooling system effectively removes heat, ensuring stable operation of the equipment under high load conditions and further optimizing equipment lifespan and operating efficiency.
