Abstract:
The transverse flux induction heating device is allows an alternating magnetic field to intersect the sheet face of a conductive sheet which is conveyed in one direction, thereby inductively heating the conductive sheet. The transverse flux induction heating device includes a heating coil disposed such that a coil face faces the sheet face of the conductive sheet; a core around which the heating coil is coiled; a shielding plate formed of a conductor and disposed between the core and a side end portion in the direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the conductive sheet; and a non-conductive  10  soft magnetic material which is attached to the shielding plate, wherein the shielding plate is interposed between the core and the non-conductive soft magnetic material.

Claim (Index 1):
A transverse flux induction heating device which inductively heats a conductive sheet by allowing an alternating magnetic field to intersect a sheet face of the conductive sheet, the conductive sheet being conveyed in one direction, the transverse flux induction heating device comprising:\n a heating coil disposed such that a coil face faces the sheet face of the conductive sheet; a core around which the heating coil is coiled; a shielding plate formed of a conductor and disposed between the core and a side end portion of the conductive sheet in a direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the conductive sheet, the shielding plate facing the side end portion; and a non-conductive soft magnetic material which is attached to the shielding plate, wherein the shielding plate is interposed between the core and the non-conductive soft magnetic material, a depressed portion, having a depth Dm, which is less than a thickness D of the shielding plate and which faces the side end portion in the direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the conductive sheet is formed in a surface of the shielding plate, the surface facing the conductive sheet, and the non-conductive soft magnetic material is housed in the depressed portion, a first portion which is tapered off toward a downstream side from an upstream side in the conveyance direction of the conductive sheet and a second portion which is tapered off toward the upstream side from the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the conductive sheet are included in the depressed portion, and the first portion and the second portion face each other in the conveyance direction of the conductive sheet.
