Background

In the related art, an electromagnetic resonance circuit of a single IGBT generally adopts a parallel resonance mode, and sets resonance parameters on the premise of realizing high-power operation, as shown in fig. 1, when heating is performed with high power, the leading voltage when the IGBT is turned on is very small due to matching of the resonance parameters, and the pulse current of the IGBT is also very small. However, as shown in fig. 2, when low-power heating is used, the leading voltage of the IGBT is very high, which causes the IGBT pulse current to be very large, and particularly, the IGBT is easily damaged beyond the limit of use of the IGBT.

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 system 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 phase, a heating phase and a stopping phase in turn 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 phase 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 phase, the amplitude of the first pulse signals is switched between a first driving voltage V1 and a second driving voltage V2, the amplitude of the first pulse signals is a second driving voltage V2, the amplitude of the second pulse signals is kept as a second driving voltage V2, and the first driving voltage V1 is less than the second driving voltage V2.

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. However, when the power switching tube is operated in the amplification state, as can be seen from the relationship between the drive voltage and the current of the IGBT shown in fig. 5, the current of the IGBT tube can be limited by adjusting the drive voltage supplied to the IGBT tube, and thus the IGBT tube is driven by sampling the first drive voltage V1, and the current of the IGBT tube can be limited to 85A or less, and 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 noted that, when the power switch tube such as the IGBT is driven by the pulse signal with the narrow pulse width, since a certain time is required for the pulse current of the IGBT to rise, the IGBT can be turned off before the pulse current of the IGBT rises to a large value by using the narrow pulse width, so that the pulse current is effectively suppressed. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pulse width of the first pulse signal having the magnitude of the second driving voltage V2 may be equal to or less than 1 us.

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, where the driving circuit of the electromagnetic heating system is controlled to output a pulse signal with an amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 to the control terminal of the power switch, and then output a first pulse signal with an amplitude switched between the first driving voltage V1 and the second driving voltage V2 to the control terminal of the power switch, so as to release the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor (i.e., C1 in fig. 11) during the stop phase in the previous control cycle, 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 with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 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 may be 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 of the second driving voltage V2 to the power switch tube, and then output the first pulse signal with the amplitude switched between the first driving voltage V1 and the second driving voltage V2 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.

This is repeated at each control period so that low power heating at a millisecond duty cycle can be achieved so that the heating effect is substantially equivalent to continuous low power.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the amplitudes of the first pulse signals may be switched according to a predetermined rule, including but not limited to the switching rule of V2 → V1 → V2, wherein the switching rule of V2 → V1 → V2 is to output a first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2, then output one or more first pulse signals with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1, and finally output a first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, in the discharging phase D1, the driving circuit outputs M first pulse signals to the power switch to release the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor in the previous stopping phase D3, wherein a first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 is output first, then M-3 first pulse signals with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 are output, and two first pulse signals with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 are output, so as to present a concave variation law of "V2 → V1 → V2".

According to one embodiment of the invention, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals gradually increase or decrease, and the difference value of the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals is less than or equal to a preset width threshold; or the pulse widths of a plurality of first pulse signals with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 are gradually increased or decreased, and the pulse width of at least one first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 is fixed to a second preset threshold; or the pulse widths of a plurality of first pulse signals with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 are gradually increased or decreased, and the pulse width of at least one first pulse signal with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 is fixed to a first preset threshold; alternatively, the pulse width of at least one first pulse signal with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 is fixed to a first preset threshold, and the pulse width of at least one first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 is fixed to a second preset threshold. The difference between the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 may also be less than or equal to a preset width threshold, and the difference between the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 may also be less than or equal to a preset width threshold.

It should be understood that the pulse width may refer to the duration of the high level, and the gradual increase of the pulse width refers to the overall trend of the pulse width being incremental, and the incremental manner may be various, including but not limited to, gradual increase according to the same preset increment, or gradual increase according to different preset increments, or the continuous pulse widths may be kept constant during the increase process. Similarly, the gradual decrease of the pulse width means that the overall trend of the pulse width is gradually decreased, and the decreasing manner may be various, including but not limited to, gradual decrease according to the same preset increment, or gradual decrease according to different preset increments, or the continuous pulse widths may be kept unchanged during the decreasing process.

For example, 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 discharge 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, and the amplitudes corresponding to the first pulse signals with the pulse widths of Y2 to YM-2 are the first driving voltage V1, and the amplitudes corresponding to the first pulse signals with the pulse widths of Y1, YM-1, YM are the second driving voltage V2.

Taking the pulse width gradually increasing as an example, the overall M first pulse signals exhibit an increasing trend, for example, the pulse widths of the M pulse signals may satisfy the following relationship: 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.

Alternatively, only the pulse width of the first pulse signal having the magnitude of the first driving voltage V1 among the M first pulse signals may be increased in the foregoing manner, and only the pulse width of the first pulse signal having the magnitude of the second driving voltage V2 among the M first pulse signals may be maintained. Alternatively, only the pulse width of the first pulse signal having the magnitude of the second driving voltage V2 among the M first pulse signals may be increased in the foregoing manner, and only the pulse width of the first pulse signal having the magnitude of the first driving voltage V1 among the M first pulse signals may be maintained. Alternatively, the pulse widths of the first pulse signals of the M first pulse signals having the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 are increased individually in the aforementioned manner, and the pulse widths of the first pulse signals of the M first pulse signals having the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 are increased individually in the aforementioned manner.

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.

In addition, the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may be the same: YM-1-YM-2, …, Y2-Y1.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the preset width threshold has a value ranging from 1us to 5us, and preferably 2us, that is, the increasing amplitude of the first pulse signal may be less than or equal to 2us, and the decreasing amplitude is less than or equal to 2 us. The pulse width of the first pulse signal, i.e., Y1, may be 0.1us or more and 10us or less.

It should be noted that the pulse widths of the plurality of first pulse signals may be smaller than a preset width threshold and the pulse widths of the plurality of second pulse signals may be greater than or equal to the preset width threshold. That is, 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.

Fig. 9 is a block schematic diagram of a heating control device of an electromagnetic heating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 9, the heating control device of the electromagnetic heating system includes: a drive circuit 10, a resonant circuit 20 and a control unit 30.

The resonant circuit 20 includes a power switching tube driver 40, as shown in fig. 11, the power switching tube driver 40 may be an IGBT tube, the resonant circuit 20 further includes a resonant capacitor C2 and a heating coil L2, the resonant capacitor C2 and the heating coil L2 may be connected in parallel, one end of the parallel resonant capacitor C2 and one end of the heating coil L2 are connected to a filter inductor L1 and also connected to one end of the filter capacitor C1, the other end of the filter capacitor C1 is grounded, the other end of the parallel resonant capacitor C2 and the other end of the heating coil L2 are connected to a C pole of the IGBT tube, and an E pole of the IGBT tube is grounded.

The driving circuit 10 is connected to a control terminal of the power switch tube 40, for example, a G pole of an IGBT, and the driving circuit 10 is configured to output a first driving voltage V1 to the power switch tube 40 to drive the power switch tube 40 to operate in an amplification state, or output a second driving voltage V2 to the power switch tube 40 to drive the power switch tube 40 to operate in a saturation state, or output a third driving voltage to the power switch tube 40 to drive the power switch tube 40 to turn off.

The control unit 30 is connected to the driving circuit 10, the control unit 30 is configured to obtain a target heating power of the electromagnetic heating system, determine whether the target heating power is smaller than a preset power, and control the electromagnetic heating system to sequentially enter a discharging phase, a heating phase and a stopping phase in each control cycle when the target heating power is smaller than the preset power, wherein the driving circuit 10 is controlled to provide a plurality of first pulse signals to the power switch tube 40 in the discharging phase so that a current flowing through the power switch tube 40 is smaller than a preset current value, and the driving circuit 10 is controlled to provide a plurality of second pulse signals to the power switch tube 40 in the heating phase, an amplitude of the first pulse signal is switched between a first driving voltage V1 and a second driving voltage V2, an amplitude of the first pulse signal is a second driving voltage V2, and an amplitude of the second pulse signal is maintained at the second driving voltage V2, and the first driving voltage V1 is less than the second driving voltage V2.

Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 30 is further configured to continuously output a third driving voltage to the power switch tube 40 during the stop phase, so as to drive the power switch tube 40 to turn off.

When the power switching tube 40, for example, an IGBT tube, is driven by the first driving voltage V1, the power 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, the power switch tube 40 can be operated in a saturated conducting state. However, when the power switch tube 40 is operated in the amplification state, as can be seen from the relationship between the driving voltage and the current of the IGBT shown in fig. 5, the control unit 30 can limit the current of the IGBT tube by adjusting the driving voltage supplied to the IGBT tube, and for example, when the driving voltage supplied to the IGBT tube is 9V, the C-pole current of the IGBT tube can be kept constant at about 22A, and thus, the IGBT tube is driven by sampling the first driving voltage V1, and the current of the IGBT tube can be limited to 85A or less, 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 40 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 noted that, when the power switch tube 40, such as the IGBT tube, is driven by the pulse signal with the narrow pulse width, since it takes a certain time for the pulse current of the IGBT tube to rise, the narrow pulse width can turn off the IGBT tube before the pulse current of the IGBT tube rises to a large value, thereby effectively suppressing the pulse current. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pulse width of the first pulse signal having the magnitude of the second driving voltage V2 may be equal to or less than 1 us.

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 control 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 may be entered, and the control unit 30 controls the driving circuit 10 to output a pulse signal with an amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 to the control terminal of the power switch tube, and then output a first pulse signal with an amplitude switched between the first driving voltage V1 and the second driving voltage V2 to the control terminal of the power switch tube 40, so as to release 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 tube 40 is substantially 0V when the heating phase D2 is entered, and the pulse current of the power switch tube 40 is reduced. After the discharging phase D1 is completed, the heating phase D2 is entered, and in the heating phase D2, the control unit 30 controls the driving circuit 10 to output a plurality of second pulse signals with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 to the control terminal of the power switch tube 40, so that the power 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, the control unit 30 controls the driving circuit 10 to output the third driving voltage, i.e., 0V, and does not output the pulse signal, so that the power switch tube 40 is turned off, and the electromagnetic heating system stops heating.

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-crossing detection unit 50, the zero-crossing detection unit 50 is connected with the control unit 30, the zero-crossing detection unit 50 is used for acquiring the voltage zero-crossing point of the alternating current power supply, and the control 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 the control unit 30 may control the resonant 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, the control 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, the control 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, the control unit 30 controls the resonant circuit to exit the discharging phase and enter the heating phase.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control 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. The control unit 30 may perform heating control in the following manner:

the control 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 may be 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 the control unit 30 controls the electromagnetic heating system to enter the discharging phase D1 at the starting time, that is, the driving circuit 10 is controlled to output the first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 to the power switch tube 40 first, and then output the first pulse signal with the amplitude switched between the first driving voltage V1 and the second driving voltage V2 to the power switch tube 40, so as to release the electric energy stored in the filter capacitor during the stopping phase.

In the process of controlling the driving circuit 10 to output the first pulse signal, the control unit 30 detects a voltage zero crossing point in real time through the zero-crossing detection unit 50, and when the voltage zero crossing point, i.e., the first zero crossing point a1, the control unit 30 controls the electromagnetic heating system to enter the heating stage D2, i.e., the control unit 30 controls the driving circuit 10 to output the second pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 to the control end of the power switch tube 40, so that the power 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, the control unit 30 continues to detect the zero crossing point of the voltage in real time by the zero-crossing detection unit 50 during the process of controlling the driving circuit 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, the control unit 30 controls the driving circuit 10 to continuously output the third driving voltage, that is, 0V, to the control end of the power switch tube 40, so as to drive the power 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, the control 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.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the amplitude of the first pulse signal may be switched according to a predetermined rule, including but not limited to the rule of V2 → V1 → V2, wherein the switching according to the rule of V2 → V1 → V2 is to output the first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2, output one or more first pulse signals with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1, and output the first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2. It should be noted that the above rule may be executed only once or may be circulated for many times.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, the pulse widths of a plurality of first pulse signals gradually increase or decrease, and the difference between the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals is less than or equal to a preset width threshold; or the pulse widths of a plurality of first pulse signals with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 are gradually increased or decreased, and the pulse width of at least one first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 is fixed to a second preset threshold; or the pulse widths of a plurality of first pulse signals with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 are gradually increased or decreased, and the pulse width of at least one first pulse signal with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 is fixed to a first preset threshold; alternatively, the pulse width of at least one first pulse signal with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 is fixed to a first preset threshold, and the pulse width of at least one first pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 is fixed to a second preset threshold. The difference between the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals with the amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 may also be less than or equal to a preset width threshold, and the difference between the pulse widths of two adjacent first pulse signals with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 may also be less than or equal to a preset width threshold.

It should be understood that the pulse width may refer to the duration of the high level, and the gradual increase of the pulse width refers to the overall trend of the pulse width being incremental, and the incremental manner may be various, including but not limited to, gradual increase according to the same preset increment, or gradual increase according to different preset increments, or the continuous pulse widths may be kept constant during the increase process. . Similarly, the gradual decrease of the pulse width means that the overall trend of the pulse width is gradually decreased, and the decreasing manner may be various, including but not limited to, gradual decrease according to the same preset increment, or gradual decrease according to different preset increments, or the continuous pulse widths may be kept unchanged during the decreasing process.

Taking the pulse width gradually increasing as an example, the overall M first pulse signals exhibit an increasing trend, for example, the pulse widths of the M pulse signals may satisfy the following relationship: YM is more than or equal to YM-1 and more than or equal to YM-2, …, and Y is more than or equal to Y2 and more than or equal to Y1. 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.

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 control unit 30 may drive the power switch tube 40 with the single second driving voltage V2, and the electromagnetic heating system may perform continuous high-power heating.

It should be further noted that, as shown in fig. 8 and 11, the driving circuit 10 of the electromagnetic heating system may include a driving module 11 and a transforming module 12, where the driving module 11 is configured to output a driving pulse signal to the power switch 30 to drive the power switch 30 to turn on or off, and the transforming module 12 is configured to adjust a driving voltage of the driving pulse signal. A control unit 30 of the electromagnetic heating system has a first control output end PPG and a second control output end EN, the first control output end PPG is connected with a driving module 11, the second control output end EN is connected with a voltage transformation module 12, when the control unit 30 outputs a first control signal such as a PPG signal through the first control output end PPG and outputs a second control signal such as a high level signal through the second control output end EN, the voltage transformation module 12 transforms voltage to adjust a driving voltage of a driving pulse signal to a first driving voltage V1, and the driving circuit 10 can provide the first pulse signal with an amplitude of the first driving voltage V1 to a power switch tube 40; when the control unit 30 outputs a first control signal, for example, a PPG signal, through the first control output terminal PPG and outputs a third control signal, for example, a low-level signal, through the second control output terminal EN, the voltage transformation module 12 does not transform the voltage, the driving voltage of the driving pulse signal is kept at the second driving voltage V2, and the driving circuit 10 may provide the second pulse signal with the amplitude of the second driving voltage V2 to the power switch tube 40.
