Hall elements can detect the presence of magnetic fields and changes in magnetic field strength. In induction cookers, it is used to detect whether there is a suitable pot placed on the stove surface, and can sense the distance between the bottom of the pot and the stove surface.
When the induction cooker is turned on, the internal control circuit will drive the coil to generate an alternating magnetic field. If there is no pot or an unsuitable pot placed on the stove surface, or the pot is too far away from the stove surface, the Hall element will sense this state and send a signal to the control circuit, so that the induction cooker will not start heating or will automatically stop heating, preventing unnecessary energy waste or possible safety risks.
Once the Hall element detects that a suitable pot is correctly placed on the stovetop, the control circuit will adjust the current size and frequency according to the feedback information provided by it to optimize the generated magnetic field strength, ensure efficient energy conversion, and start the heating process.
As an important appliance in modern kitchens, the induction cooker is becoming more intelligent. Among them, the application of Hall elements brings more intelligent, safe and efficient characteristics to induction cookers.
Recommended model: HS581 high-sensitivity unipolar Hall switch
The HS581 is a unipolar latch Hall effect sensor based on mixed-signal CMOS technology. The device integrates a voltage regulator, a Hall sensor with a dynamic bias compensation system, a Schmitt trigger and an open-drain output driver, all in one package.
