PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-frequency heating apparatus which is capable of power saving by charging heat which is generated in high-frequency heating after conversion to power and using the power as power for the heating apparatus.SOLUTION: A high-frequency heating apparatus comprises: a high-frequency power source which has a semiconductor switching element and an output transformer, and which is capable of outputting a high-frequency current; a heating coil which is connected to an output terminal of the high-frequency power source and arranged adjacent to a heated part of a heated object; a thermoelectric converter which is arranged adjacent to the heated part of the heated object and capable of converting heat generated in heating of the heated object to power; power charge means for charging the power converted by the thermoelectric converter; and control means for controlling the high-frequency power source. The power charged in the charge means can be used by the control means as power for the heating apparatus. |
