Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heating device, and more particularly to a heating device having a function of detecting a location of a foodstuff container.
  • heating devices such as gas stoves, infrared oven, microwave oven and electric stove are widely used to cook food. Different heating devices have their advantages or disadvantages. Depending on the food to be cooked, a desired heating device is selected.
  • the induction cooking stove Take an induction cooking stove for example.
  • electromagnetic induction is performed to produce eddy current, thereby heating a foodstuff container.
  • the heat quantity for heating the foodstuff container by the induction coil and the current magnitude of the induction coil are varied. For example, in a case that the area of the foodstuff container overlying the induction coil with respect to the area of the induction coil is very high (e.g. 95%), the heat quantity for heating the foodstuff container by the induction coil is high. In this situation, the reactive power of operating the induction coil and the current magnitude are both reduced.
  • the induction cooking stove needs to have a function for accurately detecting the location of the foodstuff container.
  • the conventional induction cooking stove uses a micro-control unit (MCU) to calculate a ratio of a root-mean-square (rms) value of an input current to a root-mean-square (rms) value of an induction coil current, thereby determining the proper location of the foodstuff container. Since the frequency of the induction coil current is high (e.g. 20k ⁇ 50kHz), the sampling rate should be high and the calculating amount and speed of the micro-control unit should be increased to calculate the root-mean-square value of the induction coil current. Since the calculating process is complicated, the fabricating cost of the induction cooking stove is increased.
  • MCU micro-control unit
  • a current transformer (CT) or a sense resistor is necessary for reducing the circuit magnitudes.
  • a current signal ratio is adjusted by an amplifying circuit, and then the reduced induction coil current and the reduced input current are sampled by a sampling circuit. Since the impedance matching of the amplifying circuit, the current transformer and the sampling circuit have respective tolerances and the current signals are readily interfered by noise, the current magnitude obtained by the micro-control unit has a large error, which is equal to the overall error resulted from the current transformer, the amplifying circuit and the sampling circuit. In this situation, the accuracy of determining the location of the foodstuff container is adversely affected by the noise.
  • the ratio of the root-mean-square value of an input current to the root-mean-square value of the induction coil current is acquired with undue experiments.
  • the accuracy of the ratio is usually unsatisfied.
  • the function of detecting the location of the foodstuff container may be implemented by a micro controller with slower calculating amount and speed.
  • Another object of the present invention provides a heating device having a function of detecting a location of a foodstuff container with high accuracy and reduced error.
  • a further object of the present invention provides a heating device capable of judging whether the components of the heating device is abnormal in order to overcome the problem of burning out the heating device.
  • a heating device having a function of detecting a location of a foodstuff container.
  • the heating device includes an induction coil, an inverter circuit, a first current-detecting circuit, a signal processing circuit and a controlling unit.
  • the induction coil is used for heating the foodstuff container.
  • the inverter circuit is used for receiving a rectified voltage and generating a driving voltage to drive the induction coil.
  • the first current-detecting circuit is serially connected with the induction coil for detecting a first current flowing through the induction coil, thereby generating a first current-detecting signal.
  • the signal processing circuit is connected to the first current-detecting circuit for generating a current phase signal according to the first current-detecting signal.
  • the controlling unit is used for generating at least a first control signal according to a cooking option, thereby controlling the inverter circuit. According to a duration difference or a phase difference between the first control signal and the current phase signal, the controlling unit determines an area of the foodstuff container overlying the induction coil with respect to an area of the induction coil or a location of the foodstuff container relative to the induction coil, thereby adjusting an operation of the inverter circuit.

  • the controlling unit determines an area of the foodstuff container overlying the induction coil with respect to an area of the induction coil or a location of the foodstuff container relative to the induction coil, thereby adjusting an operation of the inverter circuit. If the duration difference or the phase difference between the first control signal and the current phase signal exceeds a predetermined range, the controlling unit judges that the location of the foodstuff container is improper or abnormal and controls the inverter circuit to be operated in a pan detection mode. In the pan detection mode, the inverter circuit is operated at an increased switching frequency or a reduced duty cycle, or the inverter circuit is disabled.
