Abstract

Provided is a power control device for high-frequency dielectric heating not affected by the magnetron type, characteristic irregularities, or power voltage fluctuation. The device includes input current detection units (71, 72) for detecting input current of an inverter circuit (10) for rectifying (31) AC source voltage (20), performing high-frequency switching, and converting it into a high-frequency power. A mixing circuit (81) mixes input current waveform information (90) on the input current detection units and power control information (91) for controlling the output of the input current detection units to be a predetermined value, thereby outputting ON voltage information (92). A PWM comparator (82) compares the ON voltage information to a saw-tooth wave from a saw-tooth wave generation circuit (83). Pulse width modulation is performed and a drive signal is outputted to perform ON / OFF control of a switching transistor (39) of the inverter circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to power control of high-frequency dielectric heating using magnetrons, such as microwave ovens, and in particular, to power control that is not affected by variations in the characteristics of the magnetrons or types of characteristics, or the anode temperature of the magnetrons, etc. High frequency dielectric heating. Background technique [0002] A known high-frequency dielectric heating unit in the related art adjusts the power applied to the magnetron according to the width of an output pulse from an inverter. As the output voltage of the signal superposition section becomes higher, the output pulse width of the inverter control circuit becomes wider and the power applied to the magnetron increases. This configuration makes it possible to change the output voltage of the signal superimposing part to continuously change the heating output of the magnetron. [0003] Since the heater is also used as the cathode of the ...
