Fig. 5 is the calcspar that the control system that is used to control the thermatron 100 that has steam generating function is shown.Mainly the control section 501 of microprocessor constitutes this control system by for example having.Control section 501 mainly is to carry out signal transmission work between power unit 503, storage area 505, input operation part 507, display screen 509, heating part 511 and cooling fan 61.
Importation 507 is connected to various switches, as be used to instruct the starting switch 519 that begins to heat, be used to change such as the change over switch 521 of the heating means of high-frequency heating method and Steam Heating method and the automatic cooking switch 523 that is used to begin to carry out pre-prepd program.
Heating part 511 is connected on high frequency waves generation part 13, steam generation part 15, circulating fan 17 and the infrared ray sensor 20.In addition, high frequency waves generation part 13 is by stirring part 33 (that is the drive part that, is used for the agitator blade) collaborative work with high frequency waves.Steam generation part 15 is connected on evaporation pan heater 37 and the heating chamber air heater 19 (that is convection heater).By the way, though this calcspar comprises composed component outside the above-mentioned mechanical composed component (for example, water delivery pump 55, door air-supply valve (blast damper) 84 and exhaust valve (exhaust damper) 87), the composed component outside these above-mentioned mechanical composed components is explained in the description of another embodiment below.
Then, below with reference to the flow chart of Fig. 6, the basic operation of the above-mentioned thermatron 100 that has steam generating function is described.
In operation sequence, at first, heated food product to be put in the plate, place then in the heating chamber 11.Subsequently, close On/Off door 21.Then, by utilize input operation part 507 to set heating means and heating-up temperature or time in step 10 (after this abbreviating S10 as).Thereupon, start switch (S11).Then, carry out heat treated (S12) by the work of control section 501.
That is, control section 501 reads the heating-up temperature or the time of setting, then according to the temperature or the selection of time that read and carry out best cooking methods, and judges whether (S13) device reaches the heating-up temperature or the time of setting.When reaching the set point of heating-up temperature or time, device stops each thermal source, and finishes heat treated (S14).Say that by the way at S12, steam generation, the work of heating chamber air heater, the rotation and the high-frequency heating work of circulating fan are carried out individually or simultaneously.
To describe below in the aforesaid operations process and to select and to carry out work under " steam produces and circulating fan is opened " pattern situation for example.When this pattern of selection, evaporation pan heater 37 is connected, and as shown in Figure 7, Fig. 7 illustrates the work of thermatron 100.Thereby the water that is stored in the evaporating dish 35 is heated, thereby produces steam S.The steam S that rises from evaporating dish 35 is from being arranged on the core that near dividing plate 27 cores suction air vent hole 29 is inhaled into circulating fan 17.Then, steam is sent in the heating chamber 11 by circulation fan chamber 25 from the air-supply air vent hole 31 that is arranged in dividing plate 27 peripheral parts.The steam of being sent into stirs in heating chamber 11.Subsequently, the steam of stirring sucks in the circulation fan chamber 25 near the suction air vent hole 29 that is arranged on dividing plate 27 cores once more, thereby, in heating chamber 11 and circulation fan chamber 25, formed circulating path.Say that by the way under the position that this device is configured to blow that air vent hole 31 is not arranged on the dividing plate 27, circulating fan 17 is set, and the steam that is produced is introduced and sucked in the air vent hole 29.In addition, shown in the hollow arrow among this figure (outline arrow), steam circulates in heating chamber 11, thereby steam is blown on the article.
At this moment, the steam in the heating chamber 11 can be heated by connecting heating chamber air heater 19.Thereby the temperature of the steam of circulation can be set at higher value in heating chamber 11.Therefore, obtained so-called overheated steam.So overheated steam can make culinary art carry out in the mode on burned article M surface.In addition, under the situation of carrying out high-frequency heating, magnetron 13 is connected.In addition, agitator blade 33 rotations.Thereby high frequency culinary art uniformly can be by infeeding high frequency waves in the heating chamber 11 and stirring high frequency waves simultaneously and carried out.
Thereby being formed steam according to the thermatron that has steam generating function of this embodiment is not to produce in the outside, but heating chamber 11 inboard generations.So, be similar to the situation of cleaning heated chamber 11, produce the part of steam, promptly evaporating dish 35 can easily clean.For example, in producing steam course, calcium, magnesium and chlorine composition contained in the moisture condense sometimes, deposit and are fixed on the bottom of evaporating dish 35.Yet evaporating dish can be only adheres to evaporating dish 35 lip-deep materials and gives wiped clean by cleaning.In addition, when evaporating dish 35 severe contaminations, evaporating dish 35 can be cleaned from heating chamber 11 interior taking-ups by (with it), as shown in Figure 8.Thereby the cleaning of evaporating dish 35 can easily be carried out.In addition, in some cases, evaporating dish 35 can be easily with new being changed.Therefore, help comprising the cleaning of the heating chamber 11 of evaporating dish 35.So the internal environment of heating chamber 11 remains under the sanitary condition always.
In addition, this thermatron is modified into evaporating dish 35 and is arranged on the rear side bottom surface, and this rear side bottom surface is that the article at heating chamber 11 export on the relative side.Thereby evaporating dish 35 can not become the obstacle that takes out article.In addition, even be under the high-temperature condition, article taken out or also can not exist when putting into heater user's hand to touch the danger of evaporating dish 35 from heater the user at evaporating dish 35.So this heater is as safe as a house.
In addition, as understanding that from the position between evaporating dish as shown in Fig. 9 and the bottom of heating chamber relation evaporating dish 35 is arranged at this position, that is, the end face 35b of evaporating dish 35 is in height h place on the bottom surface of heating chamber 11.Thereby, prevented to flow into the evaporating dish such as the bottom surface of the liquid that is exuded to juice on heating chamber 11 bottom surfaces etc. from article by heating chamber 11.So evaporating dish 35 can remain under the sanitary condition.In addition, the surface 22 of the step part between evaporating dish 35 and the bottom surface exports towards article.Thereby this surface 22 can be cleaned easily.
In addition, in this heated at high speed device, steam is by being produced by means of evaporation pan heater 37 heating evaporation wares 35.Thereby this heated at high speed device can provide steam efficiently by adopting simple structure.And the steam that is under the high temperature a little produces by heating.This feasible culinary art can simply be carried out by humidification, and cooks by the heating article and undertaken, and also prevents to carry out simultaneously the article drying of high-frequency heating.
In addition, the radiant heat of evaporation pan heater 37 is launched device 39 towards evaporating dish 35 reflections.Thereby the heat that evaporation pan heater 37 produces can be used to produce steam effectively, and not waste.
In addition, this thermatron forms air in the heating chamber 11 by the circulating fan circulation and stir.Thereby when carrying out Steam Heating, steam can be all equably around heating chamber 11 circulations.Therefore, heating chamber 11 is full of steam.Yet steam can not stagnated.Thereby steam can circulate in whole heating chamber 11.So when the article temperature was measured by infrared ray sensor 20, this infrared ray sensor 20 was measured the temperature of article reliably, and can not measure the temperature of steam particle in the heating chamber 11.Thereby, can improve the certainty of measurement of article temperature.So, can correct execution by the heat treated of carrying out with reference to the temperature that detected, and can not lead to errors.
In addition, high-frequency heating and Steam Heating the two can carry out simultaneously as heating means.Perhaps, can carry out separately one of in high-frequency heating and the Steam Heating.Perhaps, high-frequency heating and Steam Heating the two can carry out according to predefined procedure.These modes of carrying out heating means can freely be selected and implement.Thereby, can be according to the kind of food, be frozen food or chilled food and select suitable cooking methods arbitrarily.Especially, adopting under the two the situation of high-frequency heating and Steam Heating, can increase temperature increase rate.Thereby realized efficient culinary art.
In addition, this device air of forming in heating chamber 11 circulation can be heated by the heating chamber air heater 19 that is arranged in the circulation fan chamber 25.Thereby the steam that produces in heating chamber 11 can free adjustment.For example, the temperature of steam can be set at and be equal to or higher than 100 ℃.Thereby the temperature of article can fully be raise by superheated steam.In addition, the surface of article is dried.In some cases, the surface of article may be by burned.In addition, be under the situation of frozen food at article, because therefore the bigger thermal capacity of steam can carry out heat conduction effectively.Thereby article can quick-thawing.
In addition, in having this thermatron 100 of steam generating function, circulating fan 17 is contained in the circulation fan chamber 25, and the latter is arranged on heating chamber 11 outsides independently by dividing plate 27.This adheres to possibility on the circulating fan 17 with regard to eliminated the juice that splashes in the article cooking process.Simultaneously, ventilation is undertaken by the air vent hole 29 and 31 that is arranged on the dividing plate 27.Thereby the flow of steam that produces in heating chamber 11 can give freely changing according to air vent hole 29 and 31 set positions and the aperture area of air vent hole 29 and 31.
Say that by the way above-mentioned evaporating dish 35 is configured to the water groove can have one of following each shape.Figure 10 shows the schematic configuration figure in the cross section that shows another kind of shape evaporating dish, and also shows evaporation pan heater.Figure 11 shows along the profile of the line A-A intercepting of Figure 10.Figure 12 illustrates along another example of the profile of the line A-A intercepting of Figure 10, and Figure 13 shows the schematic diagram of the section of the evaporating dish that shows another kind of shape.
Evaporating dish 42 shown in Figure 10 has tapering part 42a, and this tapering part is separately positioned on the both ends of evaporating dish.Thereby the water groove vertically shoals in each tapering part gradually along it.The water that injects the water groove flows along tapering part 42a, and always leaves in the mid portion of evaporating dish.Owing to this structure, can reduce the overall length of evaporation pan heater 37.Thereby, can obtain compact evaporation pan heater.In addition, though the cross section of water groove floor can be the plane as shown in figure 11, its cross section can be the same shape of image surface as shown in figure 12.When its cross section had curve form, the water that leaves in the water groove always was collected near in the lowermost portion of evaporation pan heater 37.Thereby, improved the efficiency of heating surface of installing.The bottom surface that evaporation pan heater 43 shown in Figure 13 is configured to the water groove longitudinally forms in the mode with curve form.So water leaves near the mid portion that heat concentrates.Thus, can heat by improving the heat efficiency.
In addition, the place that evaporating dish 35 is placed in heating chamber 11 is not limited to article at heating chamber 11 and exports on the rear side bottom surface on the relative side, but can suitably change.As the placement example of the evaporating dish shown in Figure 14 A and the 14B, this position can be (under the sample situation shown in Figure 14 A, to be the bottom surface of one side of the sidewall surfaces 81a shown in the figure) along the bottom surface of a sidewall surfaces 81a and 81b.In addition, can place one or more little evaporating dishes 44 as shown in Figure 14B at the corner (or corner portions located) of heating chamber 11 bottom surfaces.In this case, each little evaporating dish 44 for example is bowl-shape evaporating dish, and it has the evaporation pan heater that is provided with on its underpart.Evaporating dish arbitrarily can be set, as long as this evaporating dish can supply to steam in the heating chamber in the given position.Say that by the way the steam that is produced upwards flows usually.Thereby, from the viewpoint of stirring steam preferably evaporating dish be arranged under the heating chamber.For example, preferably evaporating dish is arranged on the heating chamber Lower Half, perhaps along the bottom of heating chamber setting.In addition, under the situation that the cleaning of evaporating dish is carried out easily, evaporating dish can be arranged in the space lower under the bottom of heating chamber.In addition, might not be fixed to the precalculated position by evaporating dish, and the user can be placed on any position with evaporating dish.In this case, the steam generation source can be positioned at optimum position according to heating condition.
Second embodiment
Then, below with reference to Figure 15 A, 15B and 16 thermatrons of describing as second embodiment of the invention that have steam generating function.Say by the way, in the following description, indicate that these parts is described in this omission thus with identical Reference numeral used during same parts among first embodiment is described by first embodiment.In the thermatron that has steam generating function according to this second embodiment, shown in Figure 15 A, the end face of evaporating dish 35 is covered by lid 41, and lid 41 is provided with the aperture 41a that forms in its part.Thereby shown in Figure 15 B, steam can be limited on the specific part of aperture 41a from the position of its output.In addition, the quantity of steam of being supplied with can be regulated according to the aperture area of aperture 41a.
As shown in figure 16, this aperture 41a is arranged on and sucks under the air vent hole 29, is arranged in the core of dividing plate 27 and suck air vent hole 29.Therefore, when the steam that is produced when aperture 41a rises, steam directly is sucked into and sucks in the air vent hole 29.Thereby steam becomes circulating of circulating in heating chamber 11, and can not waste steam.In addition, when lid 41 is dismountable structure, then be convenient to cover 41 with another lid replacing of the aperture with different size.Thereby, can use suitable lid according to heating condition.
In addition, as shown in figure 16, have in the thermatron of steam generating function at this, a plurality of air-supply air vent hole 31a that are provided with in the dividing plate 27 are formed on its underpart, thereby being sucked into the most of steam that sucks in the air vent hole 29 can mainly blow out near the position heating chamber 11 bottom surfaces.This is because steam itself raises, thereby and when most of steam when the bottom blows out, compare with the situation that most of steam blows out from other parts whole mobile can this fact of homogenizing.Thereby the vapor stream in heating chamber 11 upwards flows after at first lower flows near its bottom surface.Say that by the way air-supply air vent hole 31b is arranged on the almost half height part place of dividing plate 27.This be because, place it on will heated article second layer carriage (not shown) be positioned at almost half height and position place of heating chamber 11, and air need be delivered on the article of placing on this carriage.
Because this structure has produced such circulating, that is, circulate by this, it is more efficient to add the heating of carrying out among above-mentioned first embodiment of ratio of specific heat.Thereby, in the Temperature Distribution in heating chamber 11, variations in temperature are limited to more among a small circle.Therefore, the article that are placed in the heating chamber 11 can be with heating equably at a high speed.
In addition, lid 41 can be changed with another lid, and the latter's perspective view is shown in Figure 17.This covers 45 shapes and resembles a plate, wherein vertically is provided with a plurality of circular hole 45a along it.Sentence on its thickness direction to form supporting leg part 45b respectively from its outstanding mode at this lid 45 back side four jiaos, they are used to form separately apart from the gap of the end face predetermined space of evaporating dish 35.This lid 45 is by cordierite (2MgO2Al 2O 35SiO 2) make, this material is the lower advanced low-k materials of ripple loss.This covers 45 heat shock resistances, and has greatly to lid 45 mechanical strengths that are difficult to break.
As shown in figure 18, the gap 46 with predetermined space t is provided with to evaporating dish 35 by each supporting leg part 45b of lid 45.When the water in the evaporating dish 35 heated, this gap 46 had suppressed to cover the rising of 45 bottom pressure.Thereby,, also pressure can be discharged from the gap effectively even the temperature of the water in the evaporating dish 35 raises and bumping takes place.This has prevented that water from splashing from the 45a of hole.Therefore, the steam that is produced can upwards stably flow from aperture 45a.Say that by the way even when bumping takes place, flow path is evaporated 47 bendings of flange portion that ware 35 both sides are provided with.Thereby water can not splash from gap 46.So shipwreck is in scattering and adhere on heating chamber 11 inboards.
By the way say, in the superincumbent description, described the propeller-type circulating fan and be arranged in this device.Yet as shown in figure 19, hot blast fan 18 also can be used as circulating fan.By this structure, most of wind that is produced can blow out from bottom air-supply air vent hole 31a fiercely.Therefore, heating chamber 11 directly with steam generation part 15 in the steam S of generation when filling up, steam S can circulate therein.
The 3rd embodiment
Below, with reference to the thermatron that have steam generating function of Figure 20 to 23 description as third embodiment of the invention.Figure 20 is the end view that illustrates as the thermatron that has steam generating function of this embodiment of the present invention.Figure 21 is the explanation view that the nozzle that is attached to end of conduit is shown.Figure 22 is the explanation view that dismountable storage tank is shown.Figure 23 is the concept nature part sectioned view that main body cover is shown.
As shown in figure 20, the thermatron that has steam generating function according to this embodiment is characterised in that: be used for water that the evaporating dish 35 to steam generation part 15 supplies water and supply with part 51 and newly add this device to.Water supplies with part 51 and has storage tank 53, be used for the water of scheduled volume is supplied to the water delivery pump 55 of evaporating dish 35 and is used for storage tank 53 is connected to water supply conduit 57 on the evaporating dish 35 from storage tank 53.
In addition, the end 57a that is arranged on evaporating dish 35 1 sides of water supply conduit 57 is outstanding from the sidewall surfaces 81a of heating chamber 11, as shown in figure 21.The nozzle of being made by the heat stable resin material of softness 52 is fixed on this outstanding end 57a.Therefore, the water in the storage tank 53 supplies to evaporating dish 35 by water delivery pump 55 by water supply conduit 57 and nozzle 52.Say that by the way the end 57a of water supply conduit 57 can be from sidewall surfaces arbitrarily (for example, 81a) and outstanding in the sidewall surfaces of the dividing plate 27 of heating chamber 11 rear sides.
By this structure of this embodiment, water can supply in the evaporating dish 35 continuously.This has realized long Steam Heating.In addition, nozzle 52 is removably disposed in this device.Thereby, similar with evaporating dish, even calcium and magnesium contained in moisture condense, deposit and be fixed to the upper in the process that produces steam sometimes, perhaps be attached to it on and pollute thus under the situation of nozzle 52 when the juice that spills from article, only by just can easily finish the cleaning of nozzle 52 from end 57a dismounting.Perhaps, nozzle 52 can be changed with new nozzle.This helps its maintenance.Thereby, help cleaning, and by providing nozzle 52 at 57a place, the end of water supply conduit 57, water can be given in the evaporating dish in next direct-furnish of sanitary condition.In addition, nozzle 52 is made by flexible material.Thereby even during the food containers in nozzle Contact Heating chambers 11 52, nozzle 52 can not damage yet.And, help the cleaning of nozzle 52 inboards.In addition, when nozzle 52 when making with the integrally formed injection-molded product of heating chamber 11, nozzle can be supplied with at a low price by large-scale production.
Say that by the way storage tank 53 forms box-like water tank, so that improve its handiness, shown in the fragmentary, perspective view of the device side of Figure 22 surface one side.Storage tank 53 anti-locking apparatus when merging in the device at it itself becomes in the sidewall sections of big compact way embedding main body cover 10, and its temperature uprises the comparison difficulty.In addition, storage tank 53 can be arranged on the end face or bottom surface one side of device by carrying out heat insulation processing.
Preferably, box-like storage tank 53 can take out from installing the outside, and is easy to by new replacing.Thereby, can improve its handiness.And, help the cleaning of storage tank.For example, storage tank 53 can cover 59 and put into device from the device side and take out from device by opening and closing.Perhaps, storage tank 53 can realize that putting into device from the front surface of device reaches from the device taking-up.In addition, preferably, device construction becomes box-like storage tank 53 to be formed by transparent material such as resin or glass, and the main body cover side sidewall of water tank holding portion is formed by transparent material, thereby the surplus of the water of depositing in the storage tank 53 can be from outside visual inspection.In addition, can by sensor for residual amount is attached on the device and on display screen 509 indication water surplus or by utilizing the loud speaker (not shown) to send to pipe the generation of ware 35 emptyings of avoiding evaporating, wherein this transducer leaves in the storage tank 53.
Say that by the way under the situation in resin storage tank 53 is arranged on the device side wall part, storage tank 53 can be subjected to the influence from the heat of heating chamber 11.In this case, illustrated in the concept nature part sectioned view of main body cover 10 as shown in Figure 23, storage tank 53 is arranged in the middle of the vent stack 63, this vent stack 63 with cold wind from cooling fan 61 (for example is used for, be arranged on fan on the bottom of device as cooling fan, be used for cooling high frequency waves generation part 13 during carrying out high-frequency heating) send into heating chamber 11.In this case, the thermal impact minimum that storage tank 53 is suffered.The material range of choice of storage tank can broaden, and this has just reduced utilizing the demand of heat-barrier material protection storage tank 53.
The 4th embodiment
Then, with reference to the thermatron that have steam generating function of Figure 24 description as fourth embodiment of the invention.
Seen in from the concept nature longitudinal sectional drawing of the rear section of main body cover shown in Figure 24 10, outside heating chamber 11 and circulation fan chamber 25, be provided with therein and chamber 11 and the two self-cooling fan chamber 71 that all separate 25.This self-cooling fan chamber 71 holds infrared ray sensor 20, and this transducer is used for by the temperature in the 73 detection heating chambers 11 of the exploration hole on the sidewall surfaces that is arranged on heating chamber 11; And holding self-cooling fan 75, this self-cooling fan is provided with the driving shaft of circulating fan 17 is concentric, is used to cool off drive motors 23.In addition, near the pressure P in the exploration hole 73 in the self-cooling fan chamber 71 1The blast that is caused by self-cooling fan 75 rotations maintains the pressure P that is higher than in the heating chamber 11 2Numerical value on.
Usually, under protectiveness transparent element (as glass) was installed to situation on the exploration hole 73, when the temperature in heating chamber 11 was surveyed by infrared ray sensor 20, steam adhered on glass, thereby can not realize its accurate measurement.Thereby exploration hole 73 forms simple through hole, and does not adhere to insert on it, yet, under the situation of through hole, freely enter in the through hole from the air of heating chamber 11.Therefore, steam can adhere on the infrared ray sensor 20.So the certainty of measurement of article temperature descends.
In order to address this problem, the pressure P 1 that the thermatron that has a steam generating function is modified near the self-cooling fan chamber 71 exploration hole 73 is remained under the numerical value of the pressure P 2 that is higher than in the heating chamber 11 by the blast that self-cooling fan 75 rotations are caused.Thereby, prevented that the air in the heating chamber 11 from entering the self-cooling fan chamber 71 that holds infrared ray sensor 20.Therefore, can prevent that detection accuracy from reducing owing to dirt is attached on the infrared ray sensor 20.This makes heat treated to carry out under the accurate temperature management.So, can realize regulating on demand degree of heat.
