Definitions

  • induction currents are generated with an induction coil located below the hotplate in the container made of ferromagnetic metal and containing the cooking material, which heats the container and thereby the cooking material contained therein.
  • the hot plates are supplied e.g. from a power source that supplies an alternating current with a peak / peak amplitude of approximately 18-45 A and a frequency between 25 and 40 kHz.
  • the power supplied to each plate is e.g. between 300 W and 3 kW.
  • the current source contains a so-called half-bridge with two power transistors connected in series, which are alternately controlled and blocked with alternating motions of the working frequency and supply the AC voltage for the heating coil at their connection point.
  • An operating voltage which is obtained by rectifying the AC line voltage, is applied to the transistors.
  • This operating voltage is not a pure DC voltage, but a pulsating DC voltage with a frequency of 100 Hz. This is due to the fact that the effort required for screening to a real DC voltage would be prohibitively high for the processed services.
  • the invention has for its object to reduce the disturbances mentioned when switching a power source between different hot plates. This object is achieved by the invention described in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.
  • the microprocessor is controlled by the current source with a voltage which contains information about the respective zero crossing of the mains voltage.
  • the microprocessor contains the values for the pick-up time and the drop-out time of the relays causing the changeover.
  • the microprocessor controls the relays assigned to the two hotplates in such a way that in the region of the zero crossing of the mains voltage, one hotplate is first switched off and then the other hotplate is switched on.
  • the inevitable pick-up time and fall-off time of the relay is thus factored in by the microprocessor, such that despite these times and regardless of the respective operating frequency, the duration of the connection of the individual plates to the power source and the power supplied to one plate, the switching between the plates always in the area of the zero crossing of the mains voltage with a tolerance of approximately ⁇ 1-2 ms.
  • the current source in the vicinity of the zero crossing of the mains voltage is preferably switched off, so that the relay contacts are always switched in the de-energized state.
  • the network is practically not loaded during the high amplitudes, that is to say in the middle between two zeros, and therefore no significant disturbances occur due to the switchover to the network.
  • two hotplates P1, P2 are connected to the output of the current source G via two relays A and B.
  • This delivers an alternating current to the hot plates P1 and P2 with an amplitude peak / peak of 20 - 40 A, a frequency of 20 - 40 kHz and a power of 300 W - 3 kW.
  • the operating voltage Ua is applied to the current source G, which is a pulsating equilibrium voltage obtained at 100 Hz from the mains voltage.
  • the microprocessor M controls the relays A and B and the current source G and is also supplied by the current source G with the voltage Uo, which contains information about the respective zero crossing of the voltage Ua.
  • the switchover between the hotplates P1 and P2 will be described with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the relay A is attracted by the voltage Ua and the hotplate P1 to the current source G connected.
  • the relay B is not attracted by the voltage UB, so that the hotplate P2 is not connected to the current source G.
  • the voltage UA is switched off at t1.
  • relay A does not drop out due to the fall time.
  • the voltage UB appears from the microprocessor M, but because of the pickup time of the relay B there is initially no changeover.
  • the current source G is switched off by the processor M by the voltage Us. The current flowing into the plate P1 is therefore interrupted.
  • the hotplate P1 is switched off by opening the contacts of relay A.
  • t4 lies within the surrounding area T of the zero point at t5 in the voltage Ua.
  • relay B responds after the tightening time of t2 - t6 has elapsed. Its contact is closed and thus the plate P2 is switched on to the current source G.
  • the current source G is switched on again by the manipulated variable Us, so that the plate P2 is now fed. It is thus ensured that the switching of the current source G between the plates P1 and P2 always takes place in the surrounding area T of approximately ⁇ 1-2 ms of the zero point at t5 and also when the current source G is switched off.
  • FIG. 4 shows a solution for the switchover, in which lower values for Tu can be selected even with larger powers up to 3 kW than are given per se by the regulation according to FIG. 3.
  • the plate P1 is fed with the power NP1 of 3 kw.
  • the plate P2 is switched off. This temporary shutdown is used to control the average power consumed by plate P2.
  • the system switches back to plate P1. 3 therefore corresponds to t11 and t15.
  • the maximum power of 3 kW and the relatively short period Tu of 20 s can be used.
  • a shorter period of connection has the advantage that with a given heat inertia of the pot, a lower temperature drop between two heating processes and thus a more uniform heating over time can be achieved.
  • the invention has been described for switching between two plates P1, P2. 1, 2 can also be used for a larger number of plates, for example if the current source G is switched in succession to four different plates.
