  • Patent number: 10952288
    Abstract: An induction heating device and an induction heating method are provided. The entire areas to be heated of the workpiece can be uniformly heated to a predetermined high temperature, and uniform heating is possible even when the workpiece deforms in a non-uniform manner during heating. When areas to be heated are established on a workpiece so as to extend in one direction and the areas to be heated are induction-heated, the deformation amount on one edge of the areas to be heated is different from that on the other. This induction heating device includes; heating coils facing a portion of the areas to be heated when the workpiece is induction-heated; and a relative transfer means for transferring the workpiece and the heating coils along one direction in a relative manner, and the heating coils are disposed so as to correspond to the areas to be heated during the heating period.

  • Publication number: 20140144904
    Abstract: An induction heating device and an induction heating method are provided. The entire areas to be heated of the workpiece, even a large workpiece, can be readily and approximately uniformly heated to a predetermined high temperature, and uniform heating is possible even when the workpiece deforms in a non-uniform manner during heating. When areas to be heated H1, H2 are established on a workpiece W so as to extend in one direction and the areas to be heated H1, H2 are induction-heated, the deformation amount on one edge of the areas to be heated H1, H2 is different from that on the other. This induction heating device includes: heating coils 451 facing a portion of the areas to be heated H1, H2 when the workpiece W is induction-heated; and a relative transfer means for transferring the workpiece W and the heating coils 451 along one direction in a relative manner, and the heating coils 451 are disposed so as to correspond to the areas to be heated H1, H2 during the heating period.

  • Patent number: 6715092
    Abstract: In a host apparatus having a service function and a host function peculiar to the apparatus together, since means such as an interface section for controlling electric power supplied to a service section and a host section that are both the functions are common to the service section and the host section, it is difficult to turn off the power state of the host function, thus the user substantially cannot control the service function. The host apparatus has an interface section for receiving an input of at least an on command or an off command from the outside, host means connected on a network, a service section for performing a predetermined operation, a power source for supplying electricity at least to the host means and the service section, and power source monitoring section of controlling a state of a power supplies to the host means and the service section.
