Induction Heating Rice Cooker

Overview

Description

Induction heating (IH) rice cookers are evolving from single-zone heating to distributed, high-efficiency designs that integrate power conversion, precise thermal control, and connectivity in compact form factors. Built around efficient IH operation and a human machine interface (HMI) for touch key control and status display, this scalable platform is available in two configurations to meet a range of cooking performance and system requirements.

  • Single-block design uses a compact MCU to manage a single heating element alongside the HMI and touch key display, delivering precise temperature control and reliable results with minimal system complexity. An efficient power stage maintains ultra-low standby power with up to 2.5W output.
  • Triple-block design uses GaN-based half-bridge resonant inverters to independently drive three heating elements, distributing heat evenly around the inner pot for uniform cooking, with per-element current sensing enabling closed-loop control of each zone. High-frequency GaN switching enables a compact, low-profile control board while supporting all-metal inner pots. Integrated Wi-Fi® and voice guidance enable connected, feature-rich operation.

System Benefits​:

  • Scalable IH heating architecture delivers efficient, high-performance cooking across single- and triple-block configurations.
  • Smart power controller and GaN half-bridge resonant inverters provide precise temperature control and efficient heating management.
  • Triple-zone heating with per-element current sensing distributes heat evenly for uniform, closed-loop cooking control.
  • High-frequency GaN switching enables a compact, low-profile IH control board and supports all-metal inner pots for greater flexibility in material, weight, and cost.
  • Efficient power stage achieves ultra-low standby power with up to 2.5W output.
  • Integrated Wi-Fi and voice guidance enable connected, smart cooking features.
