Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid a useless confusion of a user by indicating 'BREAD PAN ABSENT' during bread making menu and 'PAN ABSENT' during cake making menu when a pan is taken out or not placed on a proper position during cooking. CONSTITUTION:A detachable bread making unit 1 is mounted in a bread making appliance, and composed of a bread pan in which the bread ingredients are placed, a heating device consisting of a heater to heat the bread pan, and a kneading device consisting of a motor, blades, etc., to knead the bread ingredients. A pan detector 2 detects whether the bread pan is correctly placed in the bread making appliance. An indicator 9 indicates 'BREAD PAN ABSENT' during bread making menu and 'PAN ABSENT' during cake making menu when the pan detector 2 detects that the pan is not placed in the bread making appliance at the start or cooking or during cooking, while it normally indicates cooking menu, bread making process and residual cooking time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a bread maker that can automatically bake bread or cakes simply by adding ingredients.

Conventional technology In recent years, just by putting bread ingredients into a container and starting operation,
Bread machines that automatically bake bread are becoming popular. Moreover, there is a demand for a bread maker that can make not only one loaf of bread but also a variety of other dishes such as French bread and cakes.

In conventional bread making machines, if bread making is accidentally started without a bread container, or if the bread container is removed from the bread making machine in the middle of bread making, the message "No bread case" is displayed and the user reported its misuse.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, the message "No bread case" is not displayed even when preparing a keki menu, which may give unnecessary misunderstanding to the user. there were.

The entire purpose of the present invention is to provide a bread making machine that solves these problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a container that is removably housed in a predetermined position in a bread making machine and that stores bread ingredients, a heating device that completely heats the container, and a container that is detachably housed in a predetermined position in a bread making machine. A bread making means consisting of a kneading means for kneading ingredients, a container detection means for detecting that the container is housed in the bread making machine, a temperature detection means for detecting the temperature of the container, and a kneading process/fermentation process. A storage means that stores a plurality of predetermined bread-making processes such as white bread and French bread and a baking process for baking a cake, which are comprised of processes and baking processes, and one of the plurality of bread-making processes and the cake-baking process. a timer input means for inputting a timer time for timer bread making and for inputting a cake baking time when a cake baking process is selected by the menu input means; a start means for starting baking a cake; the start means; the menu input means; the container detection means; the timer input means;
Upon receiving the outputs of the storage means and the temperature detection means,
a control means for controlling the bread making means; receiving the output of the control means, displaying the bread making process, the bread making or cake menu, and the remaining cooking time; If the output of is not in the control means.

In the case of a bread menu, "No bread case" is displayed,
On the other hand, in the case of a cake menu, display means for displaying "no case" is provided.

Effects According to the above configuration, the message ``No bread case'' is displayed when the bread menu is displayed, and ``No case'' is displayed when the cake menu is displayed. It can also avoid unnecessary confusion.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1a and 1b show a display section of a bread maker according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the same bread maker.

In Fig. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a kneading device which is removably housed in the bread making machine and consists of a container for storing bread ingredients, a heating means consisting of a heater for heating this container, a motor and blades for kneading the bread ingredients, etc. It is a bread making means that has a different structure. Reference numeral 2 denotes a container detection means of the bread making means 1 that detects whether or not the bread container is correctly accommodated in the bread making machine, and 3 a temperature detection means comprising a temperature sensor installed in contact with the container. , 4 is a storage means for storing the cooking process of the bread making menu and the cake menu, and 5 is a menu input consisting of a key switch for selecting one of the bread menus such as white bread, French bread, and the cake menu. It is a means.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a timer input means, and this timer input means 6 sets the time until the end of cooking by 1 when performing timer bread making.
Enter the baking time in 0-minute increments, and if the cake menu is selected, enter the cake baking time in 1-minute increments. 7 is a start means consisting of a key switch for starting baking of bread or cake; 8 is a control means; this control means 8 controls the bread making process stored in the storage means 4 according to the output of the temperature detection means 3; The bread making means 1 is controlled to bake bread or cake according to the instructions.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a display means, and when the container detection means 2 detects that a container is not stored in the bread making machine at the start of cooking or during cooking, the display means 9 displays the information shown in FIG. ``No bread case'' is displayed as shown in FIG. 1. On the other hand, when a cake menu is displayed, ``no case'' is displayed as shown in FIG. 1, and normally a cooking menu is displayed.

It displays the entire bread making process and remaining cooking time.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, according to the present invention, it is possible for a user to accidentally take out a container during cooking, or to start cooking without correctly placing the container in the bread maker. Even when the bread menu is displayed, "no bread case" is displayed, while when the cake menu is displayed, "no case" is displayed, which eliminates unnecessary confusion for users.
