[0022] The power supply circuit supplies power to the control chip U2 and the IGBT switch driving circuit respectively, and the circuit provides two power supply circuits, the first of which comprises a step-down chip POWR1, a +12V terminal and a 5V-OUT terminal, the 8th pin of the step-down chip POWR1 is connected to the +12V terminal, and the 7th pin of the step-down chip POWR1 is connected to the 5V-OUT terminal; the step-down chip POWR1 generates +12V voltage and +5V voltage, which are used to drive the control chip U2 and the IGBT switch driving circuit.

[0023] The second one comprises a first plug CN1, a rectifier bridge DB1, a transformer T1, a first inductor L1, a second diode D2, a +5V terminal, a first optocoupler U1 and a regulating chip IC1, the 1st pin and the 2nd pin of the first plug CN1 are connected to the 2nd pin and the 3rd pin of the rectifier bridge DB1 respectively, the 1st pin of the rectifier bridge DB1 is connected to the 1st pin of the transformer T1, the 4th pin of the rectifier bridge DB1 is connected to the 1st pin, the 2nd pin, the 7th pin and the 8th pin of the regulating chip IC1 respectively, the 3rd pin and the 4th pin of the regulating chip IC1 are connected to the 3rd pin and the 4th pin of the first optocoupler U1 respectively, the 2nd pin and the 1st pin of the first optocoupler U1 are connected to the 5th pin and the 4th pin of the transformer T1 respectively, and the 4th pin of the transformer T1 is sequentially connected with the first inductor L1, the second diode D2 and the +5V terminal.

That is, the regulating chip IC1 controls the output voltage of the transformer T1.

[0024] The PWM driving and power regulation of the IGBT switch driving circuit are as follows: the 4th pin of the control chip U2 outputs a PWM signal, which drives the G pole (gate) of the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT after being current-limited by the third resistor R3, so as to control the on-off frequency and the duty cycle of the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT. In addition, the C pole (collector) of the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT is connected to the second connector CN2 (which can be connected to a magnetron load) through the first resistor R1, and the E pole (emitter) of the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT is grounded through the seventh resistor R7 and the eighth resistor R8, so as to form a current sampling path.

The current feedback and protection of the IGBT switch driving circuit: the AD end (i.e. the 7 pin of the control chip U2) collects the current signal of the voltage division of the seventh resistor R7 and the eighth resistor R8 in real time, combines the RC filter network composed of the metal film resistor RJ1 and the first capacitor C1, feeds back to the control chip after filtering out high-frequency noise. When the current is out of limit, the control chip U2 automatically reduces the PWM duty ratio or closes the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT to prevent overcurrent damage. The zero-crossing detection and thyristor cooperative voltage regulation of the IGBT switch driving circuit: the zero-crossing synchronization mechanism: the ACL end, the sixth resistor R6 and the ZERO end are connected in series to form a zero-crossing detection circuit, which monitors the phase zero point of the alternating current to ensure that the IGBT and the thyristor trigger are synchronized with the power grid, reducing electromagnetic interference. Thyristor auxiliary voltage regulation: the G pole of the unidirectional thyristor TR1 is controlled by the 8 pin (SCR end) of the control chip, and is triggered by the second resistor R2. When TR1 is turned on, the VCC end provides an additional path for the load through the thirteenth resistor R13, maintaining partial power output during the shutdown of the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT, and realizing multi-stage power regulation. The dynamic power adjustment process of the IGBT switch driving circuit: the load demand response, after the user sets the power, the control chip U2 combines the AD end current signal and the zero-crossing phase; dynamic adjustment: high power mode: increase the conduction frequency of the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT, and the unidirectional thyristor TR1 remains always on; low power mode: reduce the duty ratio of the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT, and use the unidirectional thyristor TR1 to intermittently conduct in the alternating current half cycle to reduce energy output; anti-interference design: the first resistor R1, the third resistor R3, the thirteenth resistor R13, etc. are used to suppress transient peak voltage to protect the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT and the thyristor. The optoelectronic coupler U1 belongs to an isolation high-low voltage circuit to avoid ground loop interference. The edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT and the unidirectional thyristor TR1 are mixed driven, combining the high-frequency switching characteristics of the edge gate bipolar transistor IGBT and the low-cost advantage of the unidirectional thyristor TR1 to realize wide-range power regulation (such as 100W~1000W).In addition, double feedback mechanism: current sampling (AD end) and zero-crossing detection (ZERO end) double feedback, improve control accuracy and response speed; Anti-surge design: metal film resistor RJ1 and high voltage capacitor C1 form a buffer circuit, effectively absorbing the reverse electromotive force when IGBT is off. In addition, the firepower button group is mainly used to adjust the heating power command into the control chip U2, and the control chip U2 implements different microwave output modes and application scenarios corresponding to different gears.

[0026] The circuit realizes precise and efficient adjustment of the microwave oven power by the composite voltage regulation scheme of high-frequency PWM driving IGBT as the main part and phase control of one-way thyristor TR1 as the auxiliary part, cooperates with real-time current feedback and zero-crossing synchronization technology, realizes precise and efficient adjustment of the microwave oven power, and has overcurrent protection and electromagnetic compatibility characteristics, and meets the double requirements of energy efficiency and safety of modern household appliances.

[0027] The power adjustment method applied to the microwave oven power adjustment circuit comprises the following steps: step one: initial power detection; the firepower of the microwave oven is set to 1 gear through the firepower button group, and the initial power is detected and adjusted at the gear, so that the basic data and stable starting state are provided for the adjustment of the higher gear; the external frequency conversion power supply is connected to supply power to the microwave oven, the connection relationship (i.e. the 4th pin of the control chip U2 is connected to the G pole of the IGBT, the E pole of the IGBT is connected with the AD end, and the AD end is also connected with the 7th pin of the control chip U2) between the control chip U2 and the IGBT in the IGBT switch driving circuit is utilized, the input power of the external frequency conversion power supply is detected in real time, and the first input power value is generated by the control chip U2; the external frequency conversion power supply provides power for the microwave oven, and the size of the input power directly affects the working state of the microwave oven; by detecting the input power in real time, the actual power consumption of the microwave oven at the current firepower can be accurately obtained.

[0028] Step two: power comparison and duty cycle adjustment; the control chip U2 compares the first input power value with the theoretical input power value corresponding to the 1-gear firepower of the microwave oven pre-stored in the microwave oven, and obtains the first difference. The theoretical input power value is determined in the design and test stage of the microwave oven, and represents the ideal power consumption of the microwave oven at 1-gear firepower; by comparing the actual input power with the theoretical input power, whether the current working state of the microwave oven deviates from the ideal state can be judged.

[0029] If the first difference is positive, it means that the actual input power is greater than the theoretical input power, and the microwave oven may be in an over-power running state; at this time, the control chip U2 reduces the first duty cycle of the PWM signal generated by the microcontroller of the microwave oven according to the first difference by a preset value. Since the PWM end in the IGBT switch driving circuit works with the control chip U2, reducing the duty cycle means reducing the average power of the signal, thereby adjusting the working state of the insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT to reduce the actual input power of the microwave oven, so as to approach the theoretical input power.

[0030] If the first difference is not positive, it means that the actual input power is less than or equal to the theoretical input power, and the microwave oven may be in an under-power running state; at this time, the control chip U2 increases the first duty cycle of the PWM signal generated by the microcontroller of the microwave oven according to the first difference by a preset value, increases the average power of the signal, and adjusts the working state of the insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT to increase the actual input power of the microwave oven, so as to approach the theoretical input power; according to the adjusted first duty cycle, the control chip U2 generates first frequency adjustment information and stores it, and the frequency adjustment information records the duty cycle adjustment situation under the current firepower level, which provides a basis for subsequent control and analysis;

[0031] Step three: adjusting and repeatedly detecting by level By the firepower level button group, the firepower level of the microwave oven is increased by one level and set to 2; with the increase of the firepower level, the working intensity of the microwave oven increases, and the input power needs to be detected again and adjusted accordingly; each level is similar to the operation of step one and step two, that is, the operation of step one and step two is repeated, the control chip U2 detects the input power under each firepower level in real time, compares it with the corresponding theoretical input power, adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal according to the difference, and adjusts the working state of the insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT by using the IGBT switch driving circuit, so that the microwave oven can stably and accurately run under each firepower level.

[0032] The utility model aims at through adjusting by level to microwave oven firepower level, and detecting input power of external variable frequency power supply in real time, comparing actual input power with theoretical input power, and then dynamically adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM (pulse width modulation) signal generated by the microcontroller of the microwave oven, to realize accurate control of the working state of the microwave oven. At the same time, according to the specific application scene, the parameters and algorithm parameters of the capacitive sensor are adjusted to optimize the measurement performance and ensure that the whole system runs stably and efficiently.

[0033] For example, Figure 5As shown, by detecting that the voltage changes with the turn-on time of the silicon controlled rectifier at the zero-crossing point, the current changes with the duty cycle of the IGBT.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, those skilled in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
