    Abstract: An induction heating device includes an induction heating circuit, a sensor configured to measure current applied to the induction heating circuit, and a controller. The controller includes: a switch driving unit configured to control operation of an inverter unit and to allow a resonance of the current, a container sensing unit, and a control unit. The container sensing unit is configured to: convert a first current value before the resonance into a first voltage value; control the switch driving unit to charge a working coil; compare the first voltage value with a resonance reference value; convert a second current value after the resonance into a second voltage value; generate one or more output pulses; and compare the second voltage value with a count reference value. The control unit is configured to determine whether an object is present on the working coil based on the one or more output pulses.

    Abstract: A method for controlling an induction heating device includes acquiring a temperature value of a high-power working coil, when an absolute value of a difference between a first final driving frequency of a first working coil and a second final driving frequency of a second working coil is equal to or greater than a predetermined noise avoidance value and when a final driving frequency of a low-power working coil differs from a target frequency of the low-power working coil, determining whether the temperature value satisfies a predetermined output change condition, setting a required power value of the high-power working coil to a predetermined minimum power value when the temperature value satisfies the output change condition, and determining the first final driving frequency of the first working coil and the second final driving frequency of the second working coil again.

    Abstract: An induction heating apparatus may include first/second working coils, first/second inverter circuits and a controller. When a user changes a required power value of a first working coil or a second working coil to a third required power value, a controller determines a third driving frequency corresponding to the third required power value. The controller according to one embodiment calculates a difference value between a driving frequency of the working coil, the required power value of which is not changed, and the third driving frequency, and compares the calculated difference value with a predetermined first reference range. When the calculated difference value is included in the first reference range, the controller changes an operation mode of a first inverter circuit from a full bridge mode to a frequency doubler mode, and changes an output power value of the working coil the required power value of which is changed to the third required power value.
