  • Patent number: 8492687
    Abstract: A power control unit for high-frequency dielectric heating is provided, and includes an input current detection section for detecting input current from the AC power supply to the inverter circuit and outputting input current waveform information. A conversion section converts the input current waveform information into a drive signal of the switching transistor of the inverter circuit so that instantaneous fluctuation of the input current waveform information is suppressed. A mix circuit mixes the input current waveform information and power control information for controlling so that current or voltage at an arbitrary point of the inverter circuit becomes a predetermined value and generates an on voltage signal. The conversion section converts the on voltage signal into the drive signal so that the on time is shortened in the portion where the input current is large and that the on time is prolonged in the portion where the input current is small.

  • Patent number: 8338762
    Abstract: A power control method for high-frequency dielectric heating is provided. The method includes detecting input current and input voltage from an AC power supply. Input current waveform information and input voltage waveform information are acquired. It is determined whether the magnetron is being oscillated. If so, the input voltage waveform information is added to the input current waveform information until oscillation of the magnetron is detected, and the addition result is converted into the drive signal of a switching transistor of an inverter circuit. If not, the input current waveform, without addition of the input voltage waveform, is converted into the drive signal of the switching transistor of the inverter circuit.

  • Patent number: 8324541
    Abstract: To attain a more reliable prevention of an electric shock by checking whether the earth states for two circuit boards are good. There is detected a voltage generated at an anode current sensing resistor 20 inserted into a path where the anode current of a magnetron 8 flows and a signal is transmitted to a microcomputer 27. The microcomputer 27 uses a selector switch 28 to determine the earth states for an inverter circuit board and a control panel circuit board before operation of a device. In case either one or both of the circuit boards are in a floating state, operation of a high-frequency heating device is inhibited. Otherwise, operation of the high-frequency heating device is permitted.
