Induction heating apparatus.

摘要

The present invention intends to provide an induction heating apparatus in which a coil or coils can be opened without making use of a contactor and a reliability is improved. One continuous electric current passageway is formed of a first coil section 110, a second coil section 120, a connecting conductor 130 and a second connecting conductor 140. By feeding electric power to this electric current passageway and making an object to be heated pass through a space at the central portion of the coils, the object to be heated can be subjected to induction heating. A gap is provided between the connecting conductor 130 and the connecting conductor 140, or provision is made such that the respective connecting conductors 130 and 140 can be opened and closed, and thereby the object to be heated is carried into the space at the central portion of the coils and carried out therefrom through the gap or the opened space. <IMAGE>
