Detailed Description

[ first embodiment ]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, an example of an operation display device of a rice cooker as an operation display device of a cooking device is described.

(outline of electric cooker)

Fig. 2 shows the rice cooker 1 according to the first embodiment, in which (a) is a perspective view of the rice cooker in a covered state, and (b) is an exploded perspective view of the rice cooker of (a). Fig. 3 is a view showing a schematic configuration of the rice cooker 1 shown in fig. 2.

As shown in fig. 2 (a), the rice cooker 1 includes a rice cooker main body (cooker main body) 3 and a lid body 2 attached to an upper portion of the rice cooker main body 3. As shown in fig. 2 (b), the lid body 2 can be completely separated from the rice cooker main body 3. The rice cooker 1 is configured to be used not only for cooking rice but also for cooking vegetables, steaming vegetables, and the like.

The lid body 2 is provided with a UI (User Interface) unit (operation display device) 8 for executing a rice cooking operation of the rice cooker 1. The UI unit 8 is formed of a touch panel type liquid crystal display panel, and a user can perform a cooking operation of the rice cooker 1 by touching and operating an operation button or the like displayed on the liquid crystal display panel. In addition, a touch panel type organic EL panel may be used instead of the touch panel type liquid crystal display panel. The detailed configuration of the UI section 8 is described later.

The UI unit 8 needs to supply electric power and transmit and receive control signals for controlling the rice cooker 1. Electric power is supplied from the rice cooker main body 3. Further, control signals are transmitted and received between lid 2 and rice cooker main body 3. Normally, these power supply and transmission and reception of control signals are performed by wire, but in the rice cooker 1 according to the present embodiment, since the cover 2 is configured to be completely separable from the rice cooker main body 3, power supply by wireless power supply and transmission and reception of control signals such as cooking signals by non-contact communication are performed. As shown in fig. 3, wireless power supply is performed between the wireless power supply unit 5a of the lid 2 and the wireless power supply unit 5b of the rice cooker main body 3, and non-contact communication is performed between the non-contact communication unit 6a of the lid 2 and the non-contact communication unit 6b of the rice cooker main body 3. The detailed constitution of the wireless power supply and the contactless communication is described later.

As described above, by realizing wireless power supply and non-contact communication, since wiring that has been required in the past can be eliminated, design restrictions caused by wiring can be eliminated. Therefore, rice cooker 1 with a higher design priority can be realized.

(cover 2)

The lid body 2 is composed of an outer lid 21 covering the upper surface of the rice cooker main body 3 and an inner lid 22 covering the inner pot 4. Here, as shown in fig. 2 (b), the inner lid 22 is formed completely independently of the outer lid 21, and when the outer lid 21 is removed from the rice cooker body 3, the inner pot 4 is kept in a covered state. In the present embodiment, the inner cover 22 is formed by aluminum die casting.

When the lid body 2 is configured to cover the rice cooker main body 3, the inner lid 22 is first covered on the inner pot 4, and the outer lid 21 is further covered on the inner pot 22. A knob portion 23 protruding substantially cylindrically is formed on the surface of the inner lid 22 so as to be grasped by a user. The outer lid 21 is formed with an opening (not shown) into which the knob portion 23 of the inner lid is fitted when the inner lid 22 is placed at a predetermined position of the rice cooker main body 3 in a state of being covered on the inner pot 4. That is, when the lid body 2 is set on the rice cooker main body 3, the knob portion 23 of the inner lid 22 covering the inner pot 4 is fitted to the opening of the outer lid 21. This position is set to an appropriate position in which the lid body 2 is set in the rice cooker main body 3.

Generally, if rice is started by the rice cooker 1, steam is generated in the inner pot 4. The lid body 2 is provided with steam holes 21a for discharging steam generated in the inner pot 4.

The information displayed on the UI unit 8 provided in the lid 2 and the touch signal to be touched are transmitted by the non-contact communication between the lid and the rice cooker main body 3 as described above. Power supply to UI unit 8 is performed by wireless power supply between lid 2 and rice cooker main body 3 as described above.

(outline of UI section)

Fig. 1 is a front view of a lid 2 of a rice cooker 1 according to the present embodiment.

As shown in fig. 1, the surface 2a of the lid body 2 is provided with a UI portion 8 in addition to the steam hole 21 a.

The UI unit 8 includes a touch operation instruction area (touch operation instruction unit) 8a as a display area, various cooking program selection display units (selection program display units) 8b, a time display area (set time display unit) 8c, a reservation instruction area 8d, a rice cooking start instruction area 8e, and a cancel instruction area 8 f.

The touch operation instruction area 8a is an instruction area for performing various instructions such as setting of time displayed in the time display area 8c by a touch operation of the user, and selection of a cooking menu displayed on the various cooking program selection display unit 8 b. That is, the touch operation instruction area 8a is an area in which operations of setting at least the time displayed in the time display area 8c and selecting a cooking menu displayed on the various cooking program selection display unit 8b are performed.

The various cooking program selection display unit 8b is a display area for displaying a cooking menu (cooking menu executed by the rice cooker 1) selected by a touch operation of the user touching the operation instruction area 8 a. In addition, when the cooking menu is selected, the various cooking program selection display unit 8b may display the selected cooking menu more prominently than other cooking menus, or may display only the selected cooking menu so as to be recognizable to the user.

The time display area 8c is a display area for displaying cooking-related time such as the current time, the reserved time, the time required for the entire cooking, and the remaining cooking time.

The reservation instruction region 8d is a touch operation region used for reservation of cooking.

The rice cooking start instruction area 8e is a touch operation area used when rice cooking is started.

The cancel instruction region 8f is a touch instruction region for canceling various settings such as reserved cooking and cooking menu settings. In addition, in order to prevent an erroneous operation, the cancel instruction region 8f is set to function when pressed for a long time (for example, 3 seconds or longer).

The touch operation instruction area 8a is linear, and the set time of the time display area 8c is changed according to the distance of the touch operation along the line shape. As described above, the touch operation instruction area 8a is also used to select a cooking program displayed on the various cooking program selection display unit 8 b. In this case, the display (e.g., illumination/non-illumination) of the cooking program is switched according to the distance of the touch operation.

The setting of the time in the time display area 8c by the touch operation instruction area 8a and the switching of the selection of the cooking program displayed on the various cooking program selection display unit 8b are performed by touching the time display area 8c or the various cooking program selection display unit 8 b. That is, if the user touches the time display area 8c, the setting of the time is switched to the time display area 8c, and if the user touches the cooking program selection display unit 8b, the selection of the cooking program is switched to the cooking program selection display unit 8 b. However, the setting of the reserved time in the time display area 8c is performed after the cooking program is selected and the user touches the reservation instruction area 8 d.

The touch operation instruction area 8a is in a ring shape surrounding the time display area 8c, the reservation instruction area 8d, and the rice cooking start instruction area 8 e. In order to reduce the movement during time setting, it is preferable to provide the touch operation instruction area 8a in the vicinity (proximity position) of the time display area 8 c. Similarly, from the viewpoint of minimizing the movement of the line of sight from the time of reservation to the time of setting and the movement of the line of sight from the time of setting to the time of starting cooking, it is preferable that the reservation instruction area 8d and the cooking start instruction area 8e are also surrounded by the touch operation instruction area 8a, similarly to the time display area 8 c. However, the reservation instruction area 8d and the rice cooking start instruction area 8e may be provided at positions distant from the touch operation instruction area 8 a.

Here, the proximity position is a position at which the line of sight does not move as much as possible when the user operates the touch operation indication area 8 a. Therefore, as described above, it is preferable that the various cooking program selection display portions 8b are disposed in positions close to the touch operation instruction area 8a in addition to the time display area 8c, the reservation instruction area 8d, and the rice cooking start instruction area 8 e.

The reservation instruction area 8d, the rice cooking start instruction area 8e, and the cancel instruction area 8f may be formed by physical switches as a reservation switch, a rice cooking start switch, and a cancel switch.

The various cooking program selection display unit 8b is provided in proximity to the touch operation instruction area 8 a. The cooking program selection display unit 8b is provided on the opposite side of the time display area 8c via the touch operation instruction area 8 a.

The rice cooker main body 3 is operated by the UI unit (operation display device) 8 configured as described above.

Next, a control system of the rice cooker main body 3 will be described below.

(control System)

A control system of the rice cooker 1 will be described. Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a control circuit provided in the cover 2. Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a control circuit provided in the rice cooker main body 3.

First, a control circuit of the lid 2 will be described. As shown in fig. 4, the cover 2 includes a CPU30, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 34, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 35 as main parts of the control system. Further, the CPU30 is connected to the cooking control section 33, the contactless communication section 6a, the wireless power supply section 5a, the communication state determination section 31, the power measurement section 32, and the UI section 8.

The CPU30 controls the respective sections by executing a control program stored in the ROM 34. Specifically, the CPU30 executes display control of the UI unit 8, reception of an operation, control of an instruction to perform cooking control on the cooking control unit 33, determination of the communication state of the contactless communication unit 6a by the communication state determination unit 31, control of determination of the power supply state of the wireless power supply unit 5a by the power measurement unit 32, and the like.

The outer cover 21 is provided with a cover thermistor 14 for measuring the temperature of the cover. The cover thermistor 14 is connected to the CPU30 and performs temperature control.

Next, a control circuit of the rice cooker main body 3 will be described. As shown in fig. 5, the rice cooker body 3 includes a CPU40, a ROM44, and a RAM45 as main parts of a control system. Further, the CPU40 is connected to the contactless communication unit 6b, the wireless power supply unit 5b, the communication state determination unit 41, and the induction coil 7.

The CPU40 controls the respective sections by executing a control program stored in the ROM 44. Specifically, the CPU40 receives an instruction signal from the cooking control unit 33 of the lid 2 via the contactless communication unit 6b, and thereby performs on/off control of the induction coil 7, determination control of the communication state of the contactless communication unit 6b via the communication state determination unit 41, power supply control of the wireless power supply unit 5b, and the like. Further, the CPU40 performs display control of the UI unit 24, reception of an operation, control of an instruction for cooking control of the cooking control unit 33, and heating control of the induction coil 7 by the bottom thermistor 12.

The wireless power supply unit is connected to a power supply 42. The power supply 42 realizes conversion from a supplied commercial power supply to a voltage for wireless power supply by inserting a power cord wound around a lead shaft which can be drawn out and built in the rice cooker main body 3 into a socket in a home.

(operation display of UI section 8)

An example of the operation display of the UI section 8 is explained below. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the user operates the UI unit 8. Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining the operation flow of the operation display unit shown in fig. 6, where (a) is a diagram showing various cooking program selection display units 8b for displaying selection programs, and (b) is a diagram showing a touch operation display area 8a for a user to perform a touch operation. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a relationship between a display transfer target and a transfer speed in the touch operation instruction area 8a shown in fig. 7.

As shown in fig. 6, the user selects a desired cooking program from among the cooking programs displayed on the various cooking program selection display portions 8b by continuously touching and moving the touch operation instruction region 8a along the ring shape. For example, as shown in fig. 7 (a), when a plurality of cooking programs are displayed in three rows and four columns on the various cooking program selection display unit 8b, the various cooking program selection display unit 8b is touched clockwise to switch the cooking program to be selected among white rice, non-washed rice, quick-boiled rice, and brown rice in that order. That is, when the display of the first line is switched from left to right and the last cooking program is brown rice, the display is switched in the order of rice, sushi, porridge, steamed vegetables in the second line. Thus, the cooking program of the third row is also switched. In addition, if the touch operation instruction area 8a is touch-operated counterclockwise, the cooking program of the selection target is switched in the order of brown rice, quick-boiled, wash-free rice, and white rice, contrary to the touch operation clockwise. During the switching operation, the cooking program as the selection object is displayed differently from the other cooking programs so that the user can recognize, for example, a blinking display (the unselected cooking program is a lit-up display) or a lit-up display (the unselected cooking program is an extinguished display).

If the user touches the reservation instruction area 8d after selecting the cooking program, the reservation time is set. In this case, as shown in fig. 7 (b), the reserved time displayed in the time display area 8c is changed by the touch operation of the touch operation instruction area 8a by the user. For example, if the touch operation indication area 8a is touch-operated in the clockwise direction, the time advances, and if touch-operated in the counterclockwise direction, the time returns. In this way, the user sets a desired reservation time by touching the touch operation indication area 8a in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. After the scheduled time is set, the scheduled cooking is started by touching the cooking start instruction area 8 e.

On the other hand, if the rice cooking start instruction area 8e is touched immediately after the cooking program is selected, rice cooking is started.

Here, the relationship among the transmission speed (switching speed) of the cooking program (12 kinds of cooking programs) in the various cooking program selection display unit 8b, the clock in the time display area 8c, the transmission speed of the reserved time, and the movement amount (the number of rotations, the rotation angle, and the like) of the touch operation in the touch operation instruction area 8a is as shown in fig. 8.

That is, in the case where a cooking program that is one of the objects to be delivered is displayed, twelve cooking programs are sequentially delivered by the movement amount of the touch operation that rotates the touch operation instruction region 8a once. That is, advancing one menu requires an operation angle of 30 °. Here, the operation angle is an angle representing the amount of movement of the touch operation when the touch operation indication area 8a is touched to be operated. Here, when the movement of the touch operation is clockwise (right turn), the cooking program will be transmitted in the forward direction. Further, when the movement of the touch operation is counterclockwise (left turn), the cooking program will be transmitted in reverse. In this way, in the case of forward transfer, after switching from the first "white rice" to the last "hard rice", the return is made to the first "white rice", and then the final "hard rice" is transferred again. In the case of the reverse transfer, if the initial cooking process is "white rice", the next of the "white rice" is switched to the last "hard rice", then to "soft rice" in turn, and finally to "white rice" again.

The time of the hour hand in the time display area 8c is set to advance by 60 minutes the movement amount of the touch operation by rotating the touch operation indication area 8a once. That is, in the case of 1 minute conveyance, advancing for 1 minute requires an operation angle of 6 °.

Similarly, the time setting of the reserved time in the time display region 8c is performed by advancing the movement amount of the touch operation by rotating the touch operation instruction region 8a once by 60 minutes. That is, in the case of 10-minute conveyance, 10 minutes requires an operation angle of 60 °.

In addition, the conveyance speeds shown in fig. 8 are examples, and are not limited to these numerical values.

(Effect)

According to the above configuration, since the touch operation instruction area 8a is provided at least in the vicinity of the time display area 8c in the UI unit 8, it is possible to reduce line-of-sight movement between the touch operation instruction area 8a and the time display area 8c when the user sets a time related to cooking or the like. Therefore, it is possible to reduce malfunctions in setting a cooking reservation time, a cooking time, and the like. That is, when the user operates the cooking device, the line of sight movement is small, and therefore, it is difficult for an erroneous operation to occur.

Further, since the various cooking program selection display unit 8b is provided in proximity to the touch operation instruction area 8a, the movement of the line of sight of the user between the touch operation instruction area 8a and the various cooking program selection display unit 8b is also reduced, and therefore, it is further difficult for an erroneous operation to occur.

[ modification 1]

In the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 7 (a), all cooking programs are displayed on the various cooking program selection display unit 8b and displayed in a manner of being selectively changed or not selectively changed.

As shown in fig. 9, the selected cooking program may be displayed in the forefront on the various cooking program selection display unit 18a as the UI unit 18. In this case, the cooking program displayed in the top row is switched by the touch operation.

In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the touch operation instruction area 8a is a ring shape surrounding the time display area 8c, the reservation instruction area 8d, and the rice cooking start instruction area 8 e. In the following second and third embodiments, examples of touch operation indication areas other than the ring shape will be described.

[ second embodiment ]

Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the above embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will not be repeated.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of the UI unit 28 according to the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 10, the UI unit 28 is different from the UI unit 8 of the first embodiment in that a touch operation instruction area 28a operated by the user is in the form of a bar. The other components, the cooking program selection display unit 28b, the time display area 28c, the reservation instruction area 28d, the rice cooking start instruction area 28e, and the cancellation instruction area 28f are the same as the cooking program selection display unit 8b, the time display area 8c, the reservation instruction area 8d, the rice cooking start instruction area 8e, and the cancellation instruction area 8f of the UI unit of the first embodiment.

The touch operation instruction area 28a is disposed between the time display area 28c, the reservation instruction area 28d, the rice cooking start instruction area 28e, and the various cooking program selection display unit 28 b.

When the touch operation instruction area 28a is operated, the user selects a cooking program and sets time by a continuous touch operation (a touch operation in the left-right direction in the drawing).

The UI unit 28 can also provide the same effects as those of the UI unit 8. That is, by providing the touch operation instruction area 28a at least in proximity to the time display area 28c in the UI unit 28, it is possible to reduce line-of-sight movement between the touch operation instruction area 28a and the time display area 28c when the user sets cooking-related time or the like. Therefore, it is possible to reduce malfunctions in setting a cooking reservation time, a cooking time, and the like. That is, when the user operates the cooking device, the line of sight movement is small, and therefore, it is difficult for an erroneous operation to occur.

Further, since the various cooking program selection display unit 28b is provided in proximity to the touch operation instruction area 28a, the line of sight movement of the user between the touch operation instruction area 28a and the various cooking program selection display unit 28b is also reduced, and therefore, it is further difficult for an erroneous operation to occur.

[ third embodiment ]

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of the UI unit 38 according to the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 11, the UI unit 38 is different from the UI unit 8 of the first embodiment in that a touch operation instruction region 38a operated by the user is arc-shaped. The other components, the cooking program selection display unit 38b, the time display area 38c, the reservation instruction area 38d, the rice cooking start instruction area 38e, and the cancellation instruction area 38f are the same as the cooking program selection display unit 8b, the time display area 8c, the reservation instruction area 8d, the rice cooking start instruction area 8e, and the cancellation instruction area 8f of the UI unit of the first embodiment.

The touch operation instruction area 38a is disposed between the time display area 38c, the reservation instruction area 38d, the rice cooking start instruction area 38e, and the various cooking program selection display unit 38b side is in a closed arc shape.

When the user operates the touch operation instruction area 38a, the cooking program is selected and the time is set by a continuous touch operation (a touch operation in which an arc is drawn in the figure).

The UI unit 38 can also provide the same effects as those of the UI unit 8. That is, by providing the touch operation instruction area 38a at least in proximity to the time display area 38c in the UI unit 38, it is possible to reduce line-of-sight movement between the touch operation instruction area 38a and the time display area 38c when the user sets cooking-related time or the like. Therefore, it is possible to reduce malfunctions in setting a cooking reservation time, a cooking time, and the like. That is, when the user operates the cooking device, the line of sight movement is small, and therefore, it is difficult for an erroneous operation to occur.

Further, since the various cooking program selection display unit 38b is provided in proximity to the touch operation instruction region 38a, the line of sight movement of the user between the touch operation instruction region 38a and the various cooking program selection display unit 38b is also reduced, and therefore, it is further difficult for an erroneous operation to occur.

[ modification 2]

The arc-shaped touch operation instruction region may be the touch operation instruction region 48a of the UI unit 48 shown in fig. 12. The UI section 48 is the same as the UI section 38 shown in fig. 11 except for the touch operation instruction area 48 a. That is, the various cooking program selection display portion 48b, the time display region 48c, the reservation instruction region 48d, the rice cooking start instruction region 48e, and the cancellation instruction region 48f, which are components other than the touch operation instruction region 48a of the UI portion 48, are the same as the various cooking program selection display portion 38b, the time display region 38c, the reservation instruction region 38d, the rice cooking start instruction region 38e, and the cancellation instruction region 38f of the UI portion 38 shown in fig. 11.

The touch operation instruction area 48a is disposed between the time display area 48c, the reservation instruction area 48d, the rice cooking start instruction area 48e, and the various cooking program selection display unit 48b, and has an arc shape in which the various cooking program selection display unit 48b side is open.

When the user operates the touch operation instruction area 48a, the cooking program is selected and the time is set by a continuous touch operation (a touch operation in which an arc is drawn in the figure).

The UI section 48 produces the same effect as that of the UI section 38 shown in fig. 11.

In the first embodiment described above

In the third embodiment, the operation display device of the present invention is described as an example in which the operation display device is applied to a rice cooker as a cooking device, but the operation display device of the present invention is not limited to this example, and the operation display device of the present invention may be applied to a cooking device capable of selecting various cooking programs (cooking programs) such as a heating cooking device such as a microwave oven.

In addition, the first embodiment described above
