Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an induction heating device and a control method thereof. In one embodiment, at a time of a simultaneous operation of a first working coil operating at a first driving frequency and a second working coil operating at a second driving frequency, control for removing interference noise is performed based on a difference between the first driving frequency and the second driving frequency. An induction heating device of one embodiment may adjust the duty ratio of a switching signal provided to a first inverter circuit after adjusting the first driving frequency to adjust the actual output value of the first working coil to a value the same as the required output value of the first working coil.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an induction heating device. A loaded-object sensor according to the present disclosure is arranged concentrically and centrally in the working coil. Thus, the sensing coil and the working coil are adjacent to each other. When a current for the heating operation is applied to the working coil, an induction voltage is generated in the sensing coil by magnetic force generated by the current applied to the working coil. According to the present disclosure, a limiting circuit is used to reduce the induction voltage generated in the sensing coil when the heating operation of the working coil is performed.
