Abstract:
1. An induction heater, comprising: an inverter body having an inlet formed in a bottom surface thereof; an inverter circuit board provided within the inverter body; an inverter heat dissipater mounted in the inverter body and contacting the bottom surface of the inverter body such that an inlet of the inverter heat dissipater is connected to the inlet of the inverter body, wherein the inverter heat dissipater is configured to blow air to a front and a rear of the inverter circuit board, the inverter heat dissipater comprising: a heat sink provided on a top surface of the inverter circuit board, wherein the heat sink dissipates heat from the inverter circuit board, and wherein an outlet divider divides an outlet of the inverter heat dissipation blower so that more air is blown into the first inverter heat dissipation space than into the second inverter heat dissipation space, and wherein the inverter guide comprises a plurality of guide ribs each having an end portion thereof that is closest to the heat sink bent toward the heat sink.
