Induction heating device and method for controlling the same

Abstract

An induction heating device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed, in which the induction heating device is composed of an induction coil and a magnetic conductive plate. The induction coil, being arranged for enabling the same to move relative to a target object, is used for heating the target object after being excited. The magnetic conductive plate is disposed at a specific position proximate to the induction coil that can be varied. According to the positioning of the magnetic conductive plate, the magnetic conductive plate can be used as a shield for blocking the magnetic field resulting from the excited induction coil when it is being positioned between the induction coil and the target object, and the magnetic conductive plate can be used for enhancing the magnetic field when it is being positioned at a side of the induction coil that is away from the target object.
