PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an eddy current heating device capable of effectively converting a rotation shaft's kinetic energy to thermal energy before collection.SOLUTION: A heating device 1 comprises: a primary rotation shaft 41; a plurality of secondary rotation shafts 3; a power transfer mechanism 45 for transferring the primary rotation shaft 41's rotation power to the respective secondary rotation shafts 3; and energy conversion devices 50 individually arranged for corresponding secondary rotation shafts 3. The primary rotation shaft 41 and the respective secondary rotation shafts 3 are rotatably supported on a main body 2. The energy conversion devices 50 convert rotation power of the corresponding secondary rotation shafts 3 to heat. Each conversion device 50 individually comprises a heating member 4, a plurality of permanent magnets 5, a magnet holding member 6, and a heat collection mechanism. The heating member 4 is fixed to a secondary rotation shaft 3. The magnets 5 face the heating member 4 while keeping space, and are alternately arranged so that magnets adjacent to each other have different magnetic poles. The magnet holding member 6 is fixed to a main body 2A. The heat collection mechanism collects heat generated at the heating member 4.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
