PURPOSE: To provide an induction heating equipment having a larger heating value with the same power, or having the same heating value with a lesser power. CONSTITUTION: A member 1 to be induction-heated is arranged on the upper part of an induction heating coil 2, and a U-shaped core 3 consisting of a soft magnetic material is arranged on the lower part of the coil 2. As the U-shaped core 3, a core having a form for partially enclosing the side surface part of the coil 2 is arranged to minimize the space between the member 1 to be induction-heated and the opened end surface of the outer leg part of the U-shaped core 3. Thus, the core and the member to be induction-heated are arranged closer to a closed magnetic path. |
