0 IntroductionIn the process of shipbuilding engineering, each section of the hull
structure is mainly connected by welding method. During the welding
process, due to the uneven heating of the arc, it will inevitably cause
partial or integral welding deformation. The large volume and quality
of the hull structure limits the method of flattening by mechanical
means. Therefore, flame heating is the main method of hull structure
flattening in China at present. Flame heating flattening method has
many disadvantages, such as long heating time, over-burning, high
requirements of the operator's experience and skill, low flattening
stability and uniformity, etc. On the other hand, the flattening process
will produce toxic gases and dust pollution, which is harmful to the
environment, and the acetylene and liquefied gas exist security threat as
well. In this paper, the ship and marine engineering structure induction
heating flattening machine, by using electromagnetic induction and
eddy current thermal effect principles, levels hull structure deformation.

This new method has advantages of high efficiency, short heating time,
mechanization and automation, safety, reliability and non-pollution,
which has great economic and social benefits and broad market
prospect. The induction heating flattening machine in this paper is
mainly composed of a power regulator, an inverter and a frequency
tracker.
1 Design of the power regulatorThe power regulator has the function of energy transfer and power
conversion, which is an important component of the induction heating
flattening machine. The power regulator adopts DC chopper converter
and the control circuit uses industrial grade UC2846 PWM chip,
constituting the closed loop control system, which has fast response
speed and good adaptability to nonlinear load. The designed power
regulating system can be effectively applied to high frequency induction
heating occasion. The principle block diagram of circuit structure is
shown in Fig.1.
Fig.1 The principle block diagram of power regulator
The UC2846 peripheral circuit includes soft start circuit, current
feedback circuit, voltage feedback circuit, slope compensation circuit
and fixed frequency circuit, constituting the closed-loop control system.
The system has high control precision and fast response speed, which is
suitable for high frequency, high power applied occasions.
2 Design of the inverter and frequency trackerThe function of the inverter is to convert the DC outputted by
the power regulator to high frequency AC, which is required in the
induction heating process. In this paper, the designed outputted power
of induction heating flattening machine is 30 kW, which is suitable
for the full bridge inverter main circuit topology. The principle block
diagram of circuit structure is shown in Fig.2.
The voltage type series resonant inverter can output stable square
wave voltage and sine wave current, working in the partial inductive
state, which has simple protection circuit and stable output power.
As a result, it is suitable for the occasions of frequent starting. The
outputted signal of the inverter passes through sampling circuit and
zero comparison circuit, and then inputs the frequency tracker based on
PLL and UC2825, following inherent frequency of the resonant circuit.
In the heating process of induction heating flattening machine, due
to the influence of the temperature, heating time, current, etc. The
inherent frequency of the resonant circuit appears nonlinear variation,
and the switching frequency deviates from the inherent frequency, so
that the inverter cannot work at resonance state. In the high frequency
and power occasion, the loss of switch tube and electrical stress increase
greatly, reducing the overall quality and reliability. At the same time,
the hard switch working state also reduces the output power factor, so
that the design capacity cannot be effectively utilized. In this case, the
application of frequency tracking technology is particularly important.
Through appropriate closed-loop feedback control circuit, the switching
frequency of always follows the change of inherent frequency, so that
the circuit can work at resonant or quasi resonant state. The phases of
voltage and current are the same and the power factor of the circuit is
close to 1, obtaining the maximum power output.
The frequency tracking function can be realized in two steps: PLL
completes frequency locking and then UC2825 outputs two switch
signals with the complementary phase and same frequency. The
frequency of the UC2825 outputted signal can be determined by
external timing capacitor and resistor, and can also be determined
by the external signal frequency. This paper adopts the second way,
regarding the PLL output signal as the UC2825 external signal, as
a result, the UC2825 outputs two switching signals with the same
frequency of PLL.
3 The waveform and process testsThe outputted waveforms of the power regulator, inverter and
frequency tracker are tested by Tektronix TPS2024 oscilloscope.
Fig.3 shows the test results, among which Fig.3(a) and 3(b) are the
switching tube waveforms of power regulator. Channel 1 is the current
waveform passed through switching tube, and channel 2 is the voltage
waveform of the collector electrode, while channel 3 is the voltage
waveform of the driving signal.
Fig.3(c) is the inverter's output voltage and current waveform
in the maximum condition, among which Channel1 is the voltage
waveform, while Channel 2 is the current waveform. It can be seen
that the output voltage waveform of the inverter is square wave,
and the current waveform is sine wave, which is the typical output
waveform of the series resonant induction heating power source. The Fig.2 The principle block diagram of inverter and frequency tracker

phases of the output voltage and current are the same, and the circuit
reaches resonant or quasi resonant state. The power factor is close to 1,
obtaining the maximum power output.
Fig.4 shows the heating process of the induction heating flattening
machine. It can be seen that the machine can heat steel plate through
the electromagnetic induction principle. Before heating process, the
steel plate has a bit bending deformation, and the steel plate reaches
flat state after deformation correction by the induction heating
flattening machine, which indicates that the designed machine can
achieve the function of steel structure flattening.
