4. Background An induction cooktop holds a series of burners called induction coils (based on magnetic principles) These coils generate magnetic fields that induct a warming reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans induction How does induction work? cooktop induction coils saucepan

5. Motivation Benefits Benefits of induction stove safer: there are no open flames and the surface remains cool to the touch quicker: heating and adjustments are immediate, saving you up to 50% of the cooking time when compared to more traditional methods even heating: hot spots and rings are avoided because the bottom of your cookware heats uniformly easy cleaning: the surface is flat and smooth; spills and overflows do not stick to the cooktop, so they can easily be wiped away

6. Motivation Scenario A Scenario

7. Innovation Completely automate your cooking experience Can fit any size of shape and pan Even more energy efficient

9. System Overview

10. Power Generation Module Consists of IGBT and diodes in parallel Executes high frequency switching with the voltage and current remaining at zero Composed of resonant inductance and resonant capacitance Quasi-resonant converter

11. Control Processing Module Uses PIC18F4520 – PWM, ADC features Modules Include: Temperature sensing – two 8-to-1 analog mux Pan detection – digital mux Power On and Off – analog mux LED output – shift registers

12. Control Processing Module algorithm general processing algorithm

13. Output Conversion Module/UI Arrays of LED depending on the number of coils in use Temperature Adjustment Module 4 different temperature levels: 0, 250F, 300F, 350F

14. Casing & Physical Design Proposed Material Actual Material Heat resistance painted wood Pros: – Does not scratch easily – Cheap - $5 Cons: – Not as heat resistant – Harder to clean Ceremic Glass Pros: – High thermal shock rating – Easy to clean Cons: – If broken glass shatters into large fragments – Scratches easily – Expensive - $419. 54 Cooktop Cooktop of induction stove

15. Casing & Physical Design Casing Casing induction stove Needs to provide enough ventaliation for heat Coils mounted and isolated from power board Power board are mounted vertically
