Patent number: 11943858Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an induction heating apparatus and a method of controlling the same. A controller of the induction heating apparatus according to the present disclosure may set an operation mode of an inverter circuit to a half bridge mode when a required power value of a working coil is set to a value less than a reference power value such that a driving frequency of the working coil decreases while an actual power value of the working coil is kept the same as the required power value. Additionally, the controller of the induction heating apparatus may adjust a duty ratio of a switching signal input to a switching element included in the inverter circuit, thereby adjusting the actual power value of the working coil.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Gwangrok Kim, Ho Yong Jang, Jung Youn Lee, Seongkyu Song

Publication number: 20160060846Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling work of an excavator. When a supply flow rate of hydraulic oil which is supplied to a working apparatus by a first pump among first and second pumps driven by the rotational force of the engine is higher than a requirement flow rate required by the working apparatus, the RPM of an engine is reduced, and hydraulic oil pumped by the first and second pumps are supplied to the working apparatus. Accordingly, an energy-saving effect such as a gas mileage of an excavator being reduced is obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2015Publication date: March 3, 2016Applicant: Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.Inventors: Ho Youn LEE, Jong Hyung YIM, Jun Seong IM, Kye Hyun CHOI
