A cooker apparatus for heating a cooking pot inductively comprises an induction heating coil and a control device for controlling the heating power. The control device has a temperature-dependent guiding and control means and a sensor unit, adapted to be positioned on the cooking pot and subjected there to the evolution of steam in the cooking pot. The sensor unit is arranged to transmit control signals to the guiding and control means.

A cooking surface serving as a cook top or stove for use in cooking food can be constructed utilizing a glass support member. In the disclosed structure an induction heating coil is mounted on the undersurface of the support member. An electrically powered graphic display is also mounted on the undersurface of the support member so that this display is visible from above the support member. The support member also carries the parts of two different touch controls which are responsive to the presence of a part of a hand of an individual so as to provide an output signal. What may be referred to as an "electronic package" for controlling the operation of the coil and of the graphic display in synchronism with one another is connected to the parts of the touch controls mounted on the support member and is connected to both the coil and the graphic display. The touch controls can be individually operated so as to either increase or decrease the amount of current supplied to the coil. At all times the graphic display indicates the relative amount of current supplied to the coil and, hence, the heating potential of the coil. Additional touch controls can be provided for preventing accidental and/or unintentional operation of the coil.

A high frequency oscillator is pulsed on and off to create at least a first and second pulse to be applied by inductive heating to a steel tool which has not previously been heat treated. The pulse width, amplitude and interval between pulses are adjusted for a given alloy and then kept constant during the production run. A Hartley oscillator with a frequency above 10 MHz is utilized and the pulses have pulse widths of less than 100 milliseconds.

An induction heating apparatus includes a saturable reactor having a pair of rectangular ferrite cores. An air gap is provided in each ferrite core to provide a gradually increasing saturation characteristic on the magnetization curve of the cores. A pair of series-connected load windings is coiled around each core and a control winding is coiled around a common magnetic path of the cores. A power control circuit produces a DC control current that passes through the control winding. The high frequency energization current is passed through the load windings. Means are provided to control the DC control current at a desired setting. Preferably, the actual power level is detected to control the DC current through a feedback loop.

A gate controlled thyrister (SCR) used for switching at high frequency for induction heating is supplied with a negative bias during an interval ranging from the point where the forward current reaches to zero to the time of reapplication of a subsequent gating signal. This provides high dv/dt (the rate of rise of anode voltage) capability and small turn off time to the device.

An induction heating unit is provided having an essentially zero stand-by power requirement and comprised by a high power solid-state inverter for supplying relatively high frequency excitation currents to an induction heating coil, and including inhibit, delay, and starting and stopping gating circuits to control the operation of the high frequency power inverter. An induction heating load sensing device senses the presence of a load such as a pan or other metal base cookware located in induction heating relationship with respect to the induction heating coil. The pan presence sensing device comprises a very low power oscillator coupled to a load sensing coil for exciting the load sensing coil with high frequency oscillatory signals which preferably are in the range of two to three times the frequency at which the power inverter operates. The load sensing coil is physically positioned adjacent the induction heating coil in a location to provide inductive coupling of the high frequency sensing signal to a pan load suitably supported near the induction heating coil. The pan load sensing coil is designed to minimize the effect of inductive coupling to the induction heating coil, and for this purpose is provided with a multiple loop figure-eight or cloverleaf shape so designed and positioned that currents induced in the loops of the sensing coil by the magnetic field of the induction heating coil null one another at the terminals of the sensing coil. A load sensing detector responds to the magnitude of the high frequency voltage across the pan load sensing coil and controls the operation of the gating circuits of the power inverter in a load-selective manner to cause turn-on of the power inverter only in the presence of a proper pan load.

An induction heating apparatus is provided with protective circuit arrangements which ensure against surge currents caused by inappropriately timed gating-on of a gate controlled rectifier or by erroneous use of a load material such as non-magnetic or ferro-magnetic material. The timed gating of the gate-controlled rectifier is accomplished by means of a delay circuit which serves to count timing after a rectified excitation potential drops to the zero voltage point. A coincidence circuit is provided to detect coincidence of two signals, one is a pulse having a predetermined width and the other is a signal derived when the periodic cycle of the energization currents departs from the predetermined cycle period.
