Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

A heating control method of an electromagnetic heating system, a heating control device of an electromagnetic heating system, and an electromagnetic heating apparatus proposed according to an embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a heating control method of an electromagnetic heating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the heating control method includes the steps of:

s1: a target heating power W1 of the electromagnetic heating system is obtained.

Wherein the target heating power W1 is the heating power required by the electromagnetic heating system under different cooking parameters. For example, when a user wants to cook millet congee, a congee cooking mode can be selected on a control panel of the electromagnetic heating system, the electromagnetic heating system enters the congee cooking mode, and the electromagnetic heating system can perform low-power heating at a heating power of 800W in the congee cooking mode, wherein the corresponding target heating power is 800W.

S2: it is determined whether the target heating power W1 is less than the preset power W2.

The preset power W2 may be a power value calibrated according to an actual situation, and when the target heating power W1 is smaller than the preset power W2, it is determined that the electromagnetic heating system is heated at a low power, and when the target heating power W1 is greater than the preset power W2, it is determined that the electromagnetic heating system is heated at a high power.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the predetermined power W2 may be 1400W, thereby reducing noise caused by frequent activation.

S3: if the target heating power W1 is less than the preset power W2, the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to enter a discharging stage, a heating stage and a stopping stage in sequence in each control period, wherein a plurality of first pulse signals are provided to a power switch tube of a resonance circuit of the electromagnetic heating system in the discharging stage so that the current flowing through the power switch tube is less than a preset current value, a plurality of second pulse signals are provided to the power switch tube in the heating stage, the amplitude of the first pulse signals is gradually reduced from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1, the amplitude of the second pulse signals is the second driving voltage V2, and the first driving voltage V1 is less than the second driving voltage V2.

It should be understood that the gradual decrease of the amplitude of the first pulse signal from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 may mean that the overall trend of the change of the amplitude is a decrease, and there may be a case where the amplitudes of two adjacent first pulse signals are equal during the decrease. Furthermore, the amplitudes of the plurality of first pulse signals may also decrease sequentially according to the same preset voltage variation, or may also decrease sequentially according to different preset voltage variations. For example, the amplitudes of the plurality of first pulse signals may be maintained as the second driving voltage V2 (i.e., the amplitudes of the plurality of first pulse signals output first are all the second driving voltage V2), and then sequentially decreased from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 according to the preset voltage variation. For another example, the amplitudes of the first pulse signals may be sequentially decreased from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 according to a predetermined voltage variation, and then maintained as the first driving voltage V1 (i.e., the amplitudes of the last output first pulse signals are all the first driving voltage V1).

Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the third driving voltage is continuously output to the power switch tube during the stop phase to drive the power switch tube to turn off. Wherein, the third driving voltage may be 0V.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the preset current value may be 85A.

When the first driving voltage V1 is used to drive the power switching tube, for example, an IGBT tube, the power switching tube can be operated in an amplification state; when the second driving voltage V2 is used for driving the power switch tube, for example, an IGBT tube, the power switch tube can be operated in a saturated conducting state. Therefore, when the amplitudes of the plurality of first pulse signals decrease from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1, the operating state of the power switch tube changes from the saturated conducting state to the amplifying state, and when the power switch tube operates in the amplifying state, as can be seen from the relationship between the driving voltage and the current of the IGBT tube shown in fig. 5, the current of the IGBT tube is related to the driving voltage supplied to the IGBT tube, for example, when the driving voltage supplied to the IGBT tube is 9V, the C pole current of the IGBT tube can be constant at about 22A, and thus, by operating the power switch tube in the amplifying state, the current of the IGBT tube can be limited to, for example, 85A or less, and thus the pulse current can be effectively suppressed.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the first driving voltage V1 may be greater than or equal to 5V and less than or equal to 14.5V, and the second driving voltage V2 may be greater than or equal to 15V. More specifically, the power switch tube may be an IGBT, the first driving voltage V1 may preferably be 9V, when the first driving voltage V1 provided to the IGBT is 9V, the C-pole current of the IGBT may be constant around 22A, and the IGBT operates in an amplification state, so that the pulse current is well suppressed. The second driving voltage V2 may preferably be 15V, and the IGBT operates in a saturation state under the driving of the second driving voltage V2. The third driving voltage V3 may be 0V, and the IGBT is turned off by the driving of the third driving voltage V3.

It should be further noted that the pulse width of the first pulse signal is smaller than the pulse width of the second pulse signal. When the first pulse signal with the narrow pulse width is used for driving a power switch tube such as an IGBT tube, the pulse current of the IGBT tube needs a certain time to rise, so the narrow pulse width can be used for turning off the IGBT tube before the pulse current of the IGBT tube rises to a large value, and the current of the IGBT tube can be limited to be below 85A, so that the pulse current is effectively restrained.

Specifically, when the target heating power W1 is less than the preset power W2, as shown in fig. 6-7, each control cycle includes a discharging phase D1, a heating phase D2 and a stopping phase D3, i.e., in each control cycle, the resonant circuit (e.g., C2 and L2 connected in parallel in fig. 11) is controlled to sequentially enter a discharging phase D1, a heating phase D2 and a stopping phase D3. More specifically, the discharging phase D1 may be entered first, and the driving circuit of the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to output a plurality of first pulse signals to the control terminal of the power switch, so as to discharge the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor (i.e., C1 in fig. 11) during the stop phase in the previous control period, so that the collector voltage of the power switch is substantially 0V when the heating phase D2 is entered, and the pulse current of the power switch is reduced. After the discharging stage D1 is completed, the heating stage D2 is entered, and in the heating stage D2, the control driving circuit outputs a plurality of second pulse signals to the control terminal of the power switch tube, so that the power switch tube works in a saturated conducting state, and at this time, the electromagnetic heating system can perform normal resonant heating. And, after the heating stage D2 is completed, the electromagnetic heating system enters the stop stage D3, and in the stop stage D3, the control driving circuit outputs the third driving voltage, that is, 0V, does not output the pulse signal, and the power switch tube is turned off, at this time, the electromagnetic heating system stops heating.

In addition, the electromagnetic heating system can be controlled to perform low-power heating in a duty ratio mode, namely in each control period, the electromagnetic heating system can be controlled to heat for t1 first and then stop heating for t2, and the duty ratio is t1/(t1+ t 2). Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control period may be shortened to millisecond pole, for example, a duty ratio is set in units of a half-wave period of the ac mains, so that the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to perform low-power heating by adopting a millisecond pole duty ratio, where the duty ratio may refer to a ratio of the number of half-waves occupied by the heating stage to the number of half-waves occupied by the whole control period, for example, when the control period is 4 half-waves, if 1 half-wave is heated and 3 half-waves are stopped being heated, the duty ratio is 1/4, that is, the duration of the heating stage D2 in each control period is about one half-wave period; for another example, when the control period is 4 half waves, if 2 half waves are heated and the heating is stopped for 2 half waves, the duty ratio is 2/4, that is, the duration of the heating phase D2 in each control period is about two half-wave periods; as another example, when the control period is 4 half waves, if 3 half waves are heated and 1 half wave is stopped, the duty ratio is 3/4, i.e., the duration of the heating period D2 in each control period is about three half wave periods.

Therefore, the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor is released in a pre-discharging mode, namely in a discharging stage, the pulse current of the power switch tube can be restrained, and further the control period can be shortened to a millisecond pole, so that the heating effect is basically equal to continuous low power.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the electromagnetic heating system is powered by an ac power source, such as ac mains, the method further comprising: acquiring a voltage zero crossing point of an alternating current power supply; and controlling the electromagnetic heating system to enter a discharging stage according to the voltage zero crossing point.

It should be noted that the discharge phase may be entered near the voltage zero crossing point, that is, before, after or at the voltage zero crossing point.

Further, the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating system further includes: after the preset time of the discharging stage is reached or the voltage zero crossing point is used for controlling the electromagnetic heating system to enter the heating stage, so that the discharging stage is in a zero-crossing voltage interval which is constructed by taking the voltage zero crossing point as the center.

That is, whether the discharging phase is completed or not can be determined by taking time as a reference, that is, if the duration of the discharging phase reaches a preset time, the resonant circuit is controlled to exit the discharging phase and enter the heating phase. Or, whether the discharging stage is completed or not can be judged by the voltage zero crossing point, that is, if the voltage zero crossing point is detected, the resonant circuit is controlled to exit the discharging stage and enter the heating stage.

Wherein, the voltage zero-crossing interval is [ -5ms, 5ms ]. That is, the discharge phase may be within 5ms before and after the voltage zero crossing.

In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating system further includes: the electromagnetic heating system can also be controlled to enter a stopping phase according to the voltage zero crossing point.

In particular, in connection with the embodiment of fig. 6, assuming low power heating with a duty cycle of 2/4 is selected according to the target heating power, the total control period is 4 half-waves, the heating period being close to 2 half-waves. The heating control method of the electromagnetic heating system comprises the following steps:

the discharging phase D1 may be entered before the first zero-crossing point a1, for example, the first zero-crossing point a1 may be estimated, then the starting time of the discharging phase D1 is obtained according to the estimated first zero-crossing point a1 and the preset time tf for the discharging phase D1 to last, and the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to enter the discharging phase D1 at the starting time, that is, the driving circuit is controlled to output the first pulse signal with the amplitude gradually decreasing from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 to the power switch tube, so as to release the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor during the stopping phase.

In the process of controlling the driving circuit to output the first pulse signal, detecting a voltage zero crossing point in real time, and when the voltage zero crossing point, namely the first zero crossing point a1, controlling the electromagnetic heating system to enter a heating stage D2, namely controlling the driving circuit to output a second pulse signal with the amplitude of a second driving voltage V2 to a control end of the power switch tube, so that the power switch tube works in a saturated conduction state, and at the moment, the electromagnetic heating system can perform normal resonant heating.

The duration of the heating stage D2 is close to two half-wave periods, the zero crossing point of the voltage is continuously detected in real time in the process of controlling the driving circuit to output the second pulse signal, and when the third zero crossing point A3 is detected, the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to enter the stop stage D3, that is, the driving circuit is controlled to continuously output the third driving voltage, that is, 0V, to the control end of the power switch tube to drive the power switch tube to be turned off, and the electromagnetic heating system stops heating.

The duration of the stop phase D3 is close to two half-wave periods, and in the stop phase D3, the fifth zero-crossing point a5 may be estimated, and then the starting time of the discharging phase D1 in the next control cycle may be obtained according to the estimated fifth zero-crossing point a5 and the preset time for which the discharging phase D1 is to be continued.

So repeating, low power heating at millisecond duty cycles can be achieved such that the heating effect is substantially equivalent to continuous low power.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may be gradually increased. And the difference value of the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals can be less than or equal to a preset width threshold value.

It should be understood that the pulse width may refer to the duration of the high level, and the gradual increase of the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may refer to the overall trend of the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals being incremental, and the incremental manner may be various, including but not limited to, increasing sequentially according to the same preset increment, or increasing sequentially according to different preset increments, or the successive pulse widths may be kept constant during the increasing process.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, it is assumed that the driving circuit outputs M first pulse signals to the power switch tube during the discharging phase D1 to release the stored electric energy of the filter capacitor during the previous stopping phase D3, wherein the pulse widths of the M first pulse signals may be Y1, Y2, …, YM-2, YM-1, YM, respectively. The M first pulse signals show an increasing trend as a whole, for example, the following relationship may be satisfied between the pulse widths of the M pulse signals: yi +1 is not less than Yi + n, where i is 1 to M-1, Yi is the pulse width of the ith first pulse signal, Yi +1 is the pulse width of the i +1 th first pulse signal, and n is a preset width threshold, that is, the pulse width difference of every two adjacent first pulse signals may be equal, that is, gradually increased according to the same preset increment; or the difference of the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals is zero, namely, the pulse widths of a plurality of continuous pulse signals can be kept unchanged.

The amplitudes of the M first pulse signals may be sequentially decreased from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 according to a preset voltage variation Δ V, where V1 is equal to V2- (M-1) × Δ V, for example, the amplitude corresponding to the first pulse signal having a pulse width of Y1 is the second driving voltage V2, the amplitude corresponding to the first pulse signal having a pulse width of Y2 is (V2- Δ V), … …, and the amplitude corresponding to the first pulse signal having a pulse width of YM is the first driving voltage V1.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may also be gradually decreased. The way of gradually decreasing the pulse width is basically the same as the way of gradually increasing the pulse width, and is not described in detail. Alternatively, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may be the same, that is: YM-1-YM-2, …, Y2-Y1.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the preset width threshold may have a value range of 1us to 5us, and preferably 2 us.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pulse width of each of the first pulse signals is 0.1us or more and 15us or less, that is, Y1, Y2, …, YM-2, YM-1, YM is 0.1us or more and 15us or less.

The pulse width of the first pulse signal, i.e., Y1, may be greater than or equal to 0.1us and less than or equal to 2 us.

It should be noted that the pulse width of any one of the first pulse signals is smaller than the pulse width of each of the second pulse signals. In other words, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals provided in the discharging stage are all smaller than the minimum pulse width of the pulse widths of the plurality of second pulse signals provided in the heating stage. Specifically, if the pulse widths of the plurality of second pulse signals are all Yn, then YM, YM-1, YM-2, …, Y2, Y1 are all smaller than Yn.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the target heating power W1 is greater than or equal to the preset power W2, the power switch tube may be driven by the single second driving voltage V2, and the electromagnetic heating system may perform continuous high-power heating.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 8 and 11, the driving circuit of the electromagnetic heating system may output a driving pulse signal to the power switch tube to drive the power switch tube. The control unit of the electromagnetic heating system is provided with a first control output end and a second control output end, the control unit can output a first control signal such as a PPG signal through the first control output end and output a second control signal such as an EN signal through the second control output end to the driving circuit, and the driving circuit can generate a driving pulse signal according to the PPG signal and adjust the amplitude of the driving pulse signal according to the EN signal. For example, the driving circuit may include a voltage transformation module and a driving module, the driving module may generate a driving pulse signal according to the PPG signal, and the voltage transformation module may perform multi-stage voltage regulation on the driving pulse signal output by the driving module according to the EN signal, so that the amplitude of the driving pulse signal has multiple voltage levels. Therefore, the voltage transformation module can be designed according to actual requirements to set a plurality of driving voltages in a section greater than or equal to the first driving voltage V1 and less than or equal to the second driving voltage V2, so as to control the amplitude of the first pulse signal to change among the plurality of driving voltages through the EN signal, for example, gradually decrease from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 according to the plurality of driving voltages.

The voltage transformation module can comprise a capacitor or a plurality of voltage reduction units formed by voltage stabilizing tubes, the amplitude of the driving pulse signal can be controlled by controlling the charging time of the capacitor when the voltage transformation module comprises the capacitor, and the amplitude of the driving pulse signal can be controlled by the voltage stabilizing value of the voltage stabilizing tubes when the voltage transformation module comprises the plurality of voltage reduction units formed by the voltage stabilizing tubes.

In summary, according to the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating system provided by the embodiment of the invention, the target heating power of the electromagnetic heating system is firstly obtained, and then it is determined whether the target heating power is smaller than the preset power, if the target heating power is smaller than the preset power, the resonant circuit of the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to sequentially enter the discharging stage, the heating stage and the stopping stage in each control period, wherein a plurality of first pulse signals are provided to the power switch tube of the resonant circuit of the electromagnetic heating system in the discharging stage so that the current flowing through the power switch tube is smaller than the preset current value, and a plurality of second pulse signals are provided to the power switch tube in the heating stage, the amplitude of the first pulse signal is gradually reduced from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1, the amplitude of the second pulse signal is the second driving voltage V2, and the first driving voltage V1 is smaller than the second driving voltage V2, therefore, the pulse current of the power switch tube can be restrained, low-power heating can be realized through a millisecond-pole duty ratio heating mode, and user experience is improved.

The drivingcircuit 10 is connected to a control end of thepower switch tube 40, for example, a G pole of the IGBT, and the drivingcircuit 10 is configured to drive thepower switch tube 40; thecontrol unit 30 is connected with the drivingcircuit 10, thecontrol unit 30 is used for obtaining the target heating power of the electromagnetic heating system, and judges whether the target heating power is less than a preset power, and when the target heating power is less than the preset power, controlling the electromagnetic heating system to enter a discharging stage, a heating stage and a stopping stage in turn in each control period, wherein, in the discharging stage, the drivingcircuit 10 is controlled to provide a plurality of first pulse signals to thepower switch tube 40 so as to make the current flowing through thepower switch tube 40 smaller than a preset current value, and controlling the drivingcircuit 10 to provide a plurality of second pulse signals to thepower switch tube 40 during the heating period, wherein the amplitude of the first pulse signal is gradually decreased from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1, the amplitude of the second pulse signal is the second driving voltage V2, and the first driving voltage V1 is smaller than the second driving voltage V2.

It should be understood that the gradual decrease of the amplitude of the first pulse signal from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 may mean that the overall trend of the change of the amplitude is a decrease, and there may be a case where the amplitudes of two adjacent first pulse signals are equal during the decrease. Furthermore, the amplitudes of the plurality of first pulse signals may also decrease sequentially according to the same preset voltage variation, or may also decrease sequentially according to different preset voltage variations. For example, the amplitudes of the plurality of first pulse signals may be maintained as the second driving voltage V2 (i.e., the amplitudes of the plurality of first pulse signals output first are all the second driving voltage V2), and then sequentially decreased from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 according to the preset voltage variation. For another example, the amplitudes of the first pulse signals may be sequentially decreased from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 according to a predetermined voltage variation, and then maintained as the first driving voltage V1 (i.e., the amplitudes of the last output first pulse signals are all the first driving voltage V1).

Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 30 is further configured to continuously output a third driving voltage to thepower switch tube 40 during the stop phase, so as to drive thepower switch tube 40 to turn off. Wherein, the third driving voltage may be 0V.

Wherein the target heating power W1 is the heating power required by the electromagnetic heating system under different cooking parameters. For example, when a user wants to cook millet congee, a congee cooking mode can be selected on a control panel of the electromagnetic heating system, the electromagnetic heating system enters the congee cooking mode, and the electromagnetic heating system can perform low-power heating at a heating power of 800W in the congee cooking mode, wherein the corresponding target heating power is 800W.

The preset power W2 may be a power value calibrated according to an actual situation, and when the target heating power W1 is smaller than the preset power W2, it is determined that the electromagnetic heating system is heated at a low power, and when the target heating power W1 is greater than the preset power W2, it is determined that the electromagnetic heating system is heated at a high power.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the predetermined power W2 may be 1400W, thereby reducing noise caused by frequent activation.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the preset current value may be 85A.

When thepower switching tube 40, for example, an IGBT tube, is driven by the first driving voltage V1, thepower switching tube 40 may be operated in an amplification state; when the second driving voltage V2 is used to drive the power switch tube, for example, an IGBT tube, thepower switch tube 40 can be operated in a saturated conducting state. Therefore, when the amplitudes of the plurality of first pulse signals decrease from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1, the operating state of the power switch tube changes from the saturated conducting state to the amplifying state, and when thepower switch tube 40 operates in the amplifying state, as can be seen from the relationship between the driving voltage and the current of the IGBT tube shown in fig. 5, the current of the IGBT tube is related to the driving voltage supplied to the IGBT tube, for example, when the driving voltage supplied to the IGBT tube is 9V, the C-pole current of the IGBT tube can be constant at about 22A, and thus, thecontrol unit 30 can limit the current of the IGBT tube by adjusting the driving voltage supplied to the IGBT tube, for example, below 85A, thereby effectively suppressing the pulse current.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the first driving voltage V1 may be greater than or equal to 5V and less than or equal to 14.5V, and the second driving voltage V2 may be greater than or equal to 15V. More specifically, the power switch tube may be an IGBT, the first driving voltage V1 may preferably be 9V, when the first driving voltage V1 provided to the IGBT is 9V, the C-pole current of the IGBT may be constant around 22A, and the IGBT operates in an amplification state, so that the pulse current is well suppressed. The second driving voltage V2 may preferably be 15V, and the IGBT operates in a saturation state under the driving of the second driving voltage V2. The third driving voltage V3 may be 0V, and the IGBT is turned off by the driving of the third driving voltage V3.

It should be further noted that the pulse width of the first pulse signal is smaller than the pulse width of the second pulse signal. When the first pulse signal with the narrow pulse width is used for driving a power switch tube such as an IGBT tube, the pulse current of the IGBT tube needs a certain time to rise, so the narrow pulse width can be used for turning off the IGBT tube before the pulse current of the IGBT tube rises to a large value, and the current of the IGBT tube can be limited to be below 85A, so that the pulse current is effectively restrained.

Specifically, when the target heating power W1 is less than the preset power W2, as shown in fig. 6-7, each control cycle includes a discharging phase D1, a heating phase D2 and a stopping phase D3, i.e., in each control cycle, thecontrol unit 30 controls the resonant circuit (e.g., C2 and L2 connected in parallel in fig. 11) to sequentially enter the discharging phase D1, the heating phase D2 and the stopping phase D3. More specifically, the discharging phase D1 can be entered first, and thecontrol unit 30 controls the drivingcircuit 10 to output a plurality of first pulse signals to the control terminal of thepower switch tube 40 to discharge the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor (i.e. C1 in fig. 11) during the stop phase in the previous control period, so that the collector voltage of thepower switch tube 40 is substantially 0V when the heating phase D2 is entered, and the pulse current of thepower switch tube 40 is reduced. After the discharging phase D1 is completed, the heating phase D2 is entered, and in the heating phase D2, thecontrol unit 30 controls the drivingcircuit 10 to output a plurality of second pulse signals to the control terminal of thepower switch tube 40, so that thepower switch tube 40 operates in a saturated conducting state, and at this time, the electromagnetic heating system can perform normal resonant heating. After the heating phase D2 is completed, the electromagnetic heating system enters the stop phase D3, and in the stop phase D3, thecontrol unit 30 controls the drivingcircuit 10 to output the third driving voltage, i.e., 0V, and does not output the pulse signal, so that thepower switch tube 40 is turned off, and the electromagnetic heating system stops heating.

In addition, the electromagnetic heating system can be controlled to perform low-power heating in a duty ratio mode, namely in each control period, the electromagnetic heating system can be controlled to heat for t1 first and then stop heating for t2, and the duty ratio is t1/(t1+ t 2). Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control period may be shortened to millisecond pole, for example, a duty ratio is set in units of a half-wave period of the ac mains, so that the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to perform low-power heating by adopting a millisecond pole duty ratio, where the duty ratio may refer to a ratio of the number of half-waves occupied by the heating stage to the number of half-waves occupied by the whole control period, for example, when the control period is 4 half-waves, if 1 half-wave is heated and 3 half-waves are stopped being heated, the duty ratio is 1/4, that is, the duration of the heating stage D2 in each control period is about one half-wave period; for another example, when the control period is 4 half waves, if 2 half waves are heated and the heating is stopped for 2 half waves, the duty ratio is 2/4, that is, the duration of the heating phase D2 in each control period is about two half-wave periods; as another example, when the control period is 4 half waves, if 3 half waves are heated and 1 half wave is stopped, the duty ratio is 3/4, i.e., the duration of the heating period D2 in each control period is about three half wave periods.

Therefore, the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor is released in a pre-discharging mode, namely in a discharging stage, the pulse current of the power switch tube can be restrained, and further the control period can be shortened to a millisecond pole, so that the heating effect is basically equal to continuous low power.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electromagnetic heating system may be powered by an ac power source, as shown in fig. 10, the apparatus further comprising: the electromagnetic heating system comprises a zero-crossingdetection unit 50, the zero-crossingdetection unit 50 is connected with thecontrol unit 30, the zero-crossingdetection unit 50 is used for acquiring the voltage zero-crossing point of the alternating current power supply, and thecontrol unit 30 is used for controlling the electromagnetic heating system to enter a discharging stage according to the voltage zero-crossing point.

It should be noted that thecontrol unit 30 may control theresonant circuit 20 to enter the discharging phase near the voltage zero crossing point, that is, before the voltage zero crossing point, after the voltage zero crossing point, or before the voltage zero crossing point.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 30 is further configured to control the electromagnetic heating system to enter the heating phase after entering the discharging phase for a preset time or at the voltage zero crossing point, so that the discharging phase is within the zero crossing voltage interval configured by taking the voltage zero crossing point as the center

That is, whether the discharging phase is completed or not can be determined based on time, that is, if the duration of the discharging phase reaches a preset time, thecontrol unit 30 controls the resonant circuit to exit the discharging phase and enter the heating phase. Alternatively, it may also be determined whether the discharging phase is completed by the voltage zero crossing point, that is, if the voltage zero crossing point is detected, thecontrol unit 30 controls the resonant circuit to exit the discharging phase and enter the heating phase.

Wherein, the voltage zero-crossing interval is [ -5ms, 5ms ]. That is, the discharge phase may be within 5ms before and after the voltage zero crossing.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 30 may further control the electromagnetic heating system to enter the stop phase according to the voltage zero crossing point.

In particular, in connection with the embodiment of fig. 6, assuming low power heating with a duty cycle of 2/4 is selected according to the target heating power, the total control period is 4 half-waves, the heating period being close to 2 half-waves. Thecontrol unit 30 may perform heating control in the following manner:

thecontrol unit 30 may control the electromagnetic heating system to enter the discharging phase D1 before the first zero-crossing point a1, for example, the first zero-crossing point a1 may be estimated first, then the starting time of the discharging phase D1 is obtained according to the estimated first zero-crossing point a1 and the preset time tf for which the discharging phase D1 needs to last, and thecontrol unit 30 controls the electromagnetic heating system to enter the discharging phase D1 at the starting time, that is, controls the drivingcircuit 10 to output the first pulse signal with the amplitude gradually decreasing from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 to the power switch tube, so as to release the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor during the stopping phase.

In the process of controlling the drivingcircuit 10 to output the first pulse signal, thecontrol unit 30 detects a voltage zero crossing point in real time through the zero-crossingdetection unit 50, and when the voltage zero crossing point, i.e., the first zero crossing point a1, thecontrol unit 30 controls the electromagnetic heating system to enter the heating stage D2, i.e., thecontrol unit 30 controls the drivingcircuit 10 to output the second pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 to the control end of thepower switch tube 40, so that thepower switch tube 40 operates in the saturated conducting state, and at this time, the electromagnetic heating system can perform normal resonant heating.

The duration of the heating phase D2 is close to two half-wave cycles, thecontrol unit 30 continues to detect the zero crossing point of the voltage in real time by the zero-crossingdetection unit 50 during the process of controlling the drivingcircuit 10 to output the second pulse signal, and when detecting the third zero crossing point A3, controls the electromagnetic heating system to enter the stop phase D3, that is, thecontrol unit 30 controls the drivingcircuit 10 to continuously output the third driving voltage, that is, 0V, to the control end of thepower switch tube 40, so as to drive thepower switch tube 40 to turn off, and the electromagnetic heating system stops heating.

The duration of the stop phase D3 is close to two half-wave periods, and in the stop phase D3, thecontrol unit 30 may estimate the fifth zero-crossing point a5 first, and then obtain the starting time of the discharging phase D1 in the next control period according to the estimated fifth zero-crossing point a5 and the preset time for which the discharging phase D1 needs to last.

So repeating, low power heating at millisecond duty cycles can be achieved such that the heating effect is substantially equivalent to continuous low power.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals are gradually increased. And the difference value of the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals can be less than or equal to a preset width threshold value.

It should be understood that the pulse width may refer to the duration of the high level, and the gradual increase of the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may refer to the overall trend of the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals being incremental, and the incremental manner may be various, including but not limited to, increasing sequentially according to the same preset increment, or increasing sequentially according to different preset increments, or the successive pulse widths may be kept constant during the increasing process.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, it is assumed that the driving circuit outputs M first pulse signals to the power switch during the discharging phase D1 to release the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor during the previous stopping phase D3, wherein,

the pulse widths of the M first pulse signals may be Y1, Y2, …, YM-2, YM-1, YM, respectively. The M first pulse signals show an increasing trend as a whole, for example, the following relationship may be satisfied between the pulse widths of the M pulse signals: yi +1 is not less than Yi + n, where i is 1 to M-1, Yi is the pulse width of the ith first pulse signal, Yi +1 is the pulse width of the i +1 th first pulse signal, and n is a preset width threshold, that is, the pulse width difference of every two adjacent first pulse signals may be equal, that is, gradually increased according to the same preset increment; or the difference of the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals is zero, namely, the pulse widths of a plurality of continuous pulse signals can be kept unchanged.

The amplitudes of the M first pulse signals may be sequentially decreased from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 according to a preset voltage variation Δ V, where V1 is equal to V2- (M-1) × Δ V, for example, the amplitude corresponding to the first pulse signal having a pulse width of Y1 is the second driving voltage V2, the amplitude corresponding to the first pulse signal having a pulse width of Y2 is (V2- Δ V), … …, and the amplitude corresponding to the first pulse signal having a pulse width of YM is the first driving voltage V1

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may also be gradually decreased. The way of gradually decreasing the pulse width is basically the same as the way of gradually increasing the pulse width, and is not described in detail. Alternatively, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may be the same, that is: YM-1-YM-2, …, Y2-Y1.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a value range of the preset width threshold may be 1us to 5us, and preferably may be 2 us.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pulse width of each of the first pulse signals is 0.1us or more and 15us or less, that is, Y1, Y2, …, YM-2, YM-1, YM is 0.1us or more and 15us or less. The pulse width of the first pulse signal, i.e., Y1, may be greater than or equal to 0.1us and less than or equal to 2 us.

It should be noted that the pulse width of any one of the first pulse signals is smaller than the pulse width of each of the second pulse signals. In other words, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals provided in the discharging stage are all smaller than the minimum pulse width of the pulse widths of the plurality of second pulse signals provided in the heating stage. Specifically, if the pulse widths of the plurality of second pulse signals are all Yn, then YM, YM-1, YM-2, …, Y2, Y1 are all smaller than Yn.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the target heating power W1 is greater than or equal to the preset power W2, thecontrol unit 30 may drive thepower switch tube 40 with the single second driving voltage V2, and the electromagnetic heating system may perform continuous high-power heating.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 8 and 11, the drivingcircuit 10 of the electromagnetic heating system may output a driving pulse signal to thepower switch tube 40 to drive thepower switch tube 40. Thecontrol unit 30 of the electromagnetic heating system has a first control output end PPG and a second control output end EN, thecontrol unit 30 can output a first control signal, such as a PPG signal, through the first control output end PPG and output a second control signal, such as an EN signal, through the second control output end EN to the drivingcircuit 10, and the drivingcircuit 10 can generate a driving pulse signal according to the PPG signal and adjust an amplitude of the driving pulse signal according to the EN signal. For example, the drivingcircuit 10 may include a transformingmodule 12 and adriving module 11, the drivingmodule 11 may generate a driving pulse signal according to the PPG signal, and the transformingmodule 12 may perform multi-stage voltage regulation on the driving pulse signal output by the drivingmodule 11 according to the EN signal, so that the amplitude of the driving pulse signal has multiple voltage levels. Therefore, thevoltage transformation module 12 may be designed according to actual requirements to set a plurality of driving voltages in a range greater than or equal to the first driving voltage V1 and less than or equal to the second driving voltage V2, so as to control the amplitude of the first pulse signal to vary among the plurality of driving voltages through the EN signal, for example, to gradually decrease from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1 according to the plurality of driving voltages.

Thevoltage transformation module 12 may include a capacitor or a plurality of voltage reduction units formed by voltage regulator tubes, the amplitude of the driving pulse signal may be controlled by controlling the charging time of the capacitor when thevoltage transformation module 12 includes the capacitor, and the amplitude of the driving pulse signal may be controlled by the voltage stabilization value of the voltage regulator tubes when thevoltage transformation module 12 includes the plurality of voltage reduction units formed by voltage regulator tubes.

In summary, according to the heating control apparatus of the electromagnetic heating system provided in the embodiment of the invention, when the target heating power is less than the preset power, the control unit controls the resonant circuit of the electromagnetic heating system to sequentially enter the discharging phase, the heating phase and the stopping phase in each control cycle, wherein if the target heating power is less than the preset power, the resonant circuit of the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to sequentially enter the discharging phase, the heating phase and the stopping phase in each control cycle, wherein a plurality of first pulse signals are provided to the power switch tube of the resonant circuit of the electromagnetic heating system in the discharging phase so that the current flowing through the power switch tube is less than the preset current value, and a plurality of second pulse signals are provided to the power switch tube in the heating phase, the amplitude of the first pulse signals is gradually decreased from the second driving voltage V2 to the first driving voltage V1, the amplitude of the second pulse signal is the second driving voltage V2, and the first driving voltage V1 is smaller than the second driving voltage V2. Therefore, by means of the pre-discharge mode, pulse current of the power switch tube can be restrained, low-power heating of millisecond-pole duty ratio is achieved, and user experience is improved.
