Abstract
In this heat cooking oven, a cooking mode indicator (15) indicates heat or microwave cooking mode, a temperature scale indicator (23) indicates the set cooking temperature, a temperature indicator (24) indicates the present cooking temperature, and a time indicator (16) indicates the cooking time. The variety of information is indicated in multiple colors in one multicolor fluorescent display tube to be easier to see and read without error in a microwave heat cooking oven having a heater.
Description
- This invention relates to means for displaying the heating condition of a heating cooking apparatus such as a microwave oven.
- With the progress of the semiconductor technology, many microcomputer-applied products are now being made in the field of domestic appliances, too. The field of heating apparatus is also not an exception, and many microcomputer-applied products have appeared in this field so far. On the other hand, however, the procedure for manipulation of such an apparatus seems to become more complex. In the field of domestic appliances, ease of manipulation and clear visibility of display are especially required.
- In an apparatus such as a so-called composite oven which is an integral combination of a microwave oven and an ordinary oven, it is necessary to apply the output power level and cooking time as input information in the case of cooking with the microwave oven and to apply the oven internal temperature and time as input information in the case of cooking with the ordinary oven. In the practical use of such an apparatus, it seems that many of the users have had the feeling of perplexity in spite of the digital display of the heating condition. That is, when a single display tube is used to display both of the temperature and the time, the user is unable to see the temperature when the display tube is-displaying the time. This applies also to the converse case.
- Although both of the temperature and the time can be simultaneously displayed by providing two display tubes, this results in various problems including an increase in the cost and a large space occupied by the display part.
- Referring to Fig. 1, microwave generated from a
magnetron 1 is guided by awaveguide 2 to be absorbed by a foodstuff placed in aheating cavity 3. Anelectric heater 4 is provided in theheating cavity 3 to heat the interior of theheating cavity 3 for oven cooking. On the other hand, a fluorescent display tube has a structure as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, and thermions emitted from acathode 5 are accelerated by a positive voltage applied acrossgrids 6 andanodes 7 to stimulate and cause fluorescence of afluorescent paint 8 coated on theanodes 7. The voltage is selectively applied across thegrids 6 and theanodes 7 so as to display desired figures, characters, symbols and graphics. - Fig. 3 shows an example of a control panel in which two fluorescent display tubes are used. One of the
fluorescent display tubes 9 includes a cookingmode display part 10 and atime display part 11, and the otherfluorescent display tube 13 provides atemperature display part 14. Because of the provision of two fluorescent display tubes, the control part has been complex resulting in poor controllability. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a heating cooking apparatus in which a single multicolored fluorescent display tube is employed to clearly visibly display both of the temperature and the time and which is satisfactorily controllable.
- An embodiment of the present invention will be described hereinunder with reference to the drawings.

- Fig. 5 is a display pattern diagram of the multicolored fluorescent display tube.
- Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the temperature display part and its light emission timing.
- Fig. 7 is a circuit diagram of one embodiment of the heating cooking apparatus of the present invention.
- Fig. 8 is a display pattern diagram showing another structure of the multicolored display tube.
- Fig. 9 is a circuit diagram of another embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 10 is a diagram showing the relation between the anode voltage and the luminance of the fluorescent display tube.
- Fig. 11 is a display pattern diagram of the multicolored fluorescent display tube when the color is changed for each of the heating parameters.
- Fig. 12 is an external perspective view of the composite microwave oven.
- Fig. 4 shows a connection pattern of a single multicolored
fluorescent display tube 12 which includes therein a cookingmode display part 15, atime display part 16, atemperature display part 24 and a temperature .scale display part 23. In the multicoloredfluorescent display tube 12 above described, a fluorescent paint whose fluorescent color is green is coated on characters "Hi" 19 (a display indicating a high microwave output), "Lo" 20 (a display indicating a low microwave output), "GRILL" 21 (cooking by a heater subsequent to cooking with a high microwave output), and segments of individual digits, and a fluorescent paint whose color is red is coated on characters "OVEN" 22 (cooking by the heater) and segments of the temperaturescale display part 23 andtemperature display part 24. The cathode of "OVEN" 22 and the cathode of the temperaturescale display part 23 are connected within the display tube. Therefore, when the "OVEN" mode is selected, the "OVEN" displaypart 22 and the temperature scale displaypart 23 emit light simultaneously so that the purpose of demanding the temperature input can also be attained. - When now a positive voltage is applied to the multicolored
fluorescent display tube 12 through aterminal 07 and a terminal R4 connected to a grid 24-a, "OVEN" 22 luminesces in red. On the other hand, when the positive voltage is applied through theterminal 07 and a terminal R3 connected .to a grid 24-b, "YEAST 120" luminesces in red. Similarly, by sequentially energizing through terminals R2 and O7, terminals R1 and O7, and terminals Rφ and O7 at a high speed, the human eye recognizes as if all of the "OVEN"display 22 and the temperaturescale display part 23 are luminant as shown in Fig. 5. The temperature display segments are controlled by signal conductors extending from terminals R7 - R10 and signal conductors extending from terminals R3 - Rφ. Fig. 6 shows the timing chart of output voltage levels at the terminals RO - R3 and terminals R 7 - R10 when "200°C" is displayed. The fluorescent paint whose color is red is also coated on the anode segments of the temperature scale. Fig. 7 shows one form of an electrical circuit used for the practice of the present invention. - A
microcomputer 25 controls this systems. Current supply to theelectric heater 4 is controlled by atriac 26 which is turned on-off by an output terminal R5 of themicrocomputer 25 and anelectronic circuit 27. For controlling the internal temperature of theheating cavity 3, athermistor 28, output terminals R11 - R15 of themicrocomputer 25, aD-A converter 29 and acomparator 30 sense the temperature, and, on the basis thereof, themicrocomputer 25 judges as to whether or not its output should appear at the terminal R5. - On the other hand, excitation of the
magnetron 1 is controlled by turning on and off the primary side of a high-voltage transformer 32 by an output terminal R6 of themicrocomputer 25 and anelectronic circuit 31. As soon as the primary side is closed, a high voltage is induced in the secondary side thereby exciting themagnetron 1. When theheater 4 is selected as the heating source, the temperature scale luminescens in red. No luminescence occurs when themagnetron 1 is selected. The grid voltage for a multicoloredfluorescent display tube 33 is sequentially supplied from terminals R3 - R of themicrocomputer 25, and the anode voltage is supplied in parallel from terminals 00 - 07. - When a
temperature key 35 is depressed after selection of "OVEN" by acooking mode key 34, the number of times of depression or the duration of depression is counted to display the set temperature. After depression of atime key 36, astart key 37 is depressed. The signal output from themicrocomputer 25 is controlled so that, with the rise of the internal temperature of the oven, the segments corresponding to the present internal temperature make flashing, and, thus, both of the set temperature and the present temperature are displayed on the same temperature display part. Alternatively, for the display of the set temperature, the segments corresponding to that temperature only are turned on or make flashing so as to display the oven internal temperature in the form of a bar. - Fig. 8 illustrates that a status part indicating the cooking condition is additionally disposed above the time display part. The color of light emitted from that part differs from those of the other display parts and differs also from that of the figure display part. Fig. 9 shows a circuit for driving the fluorescent display tube above described. Output voltages from terminals R16 - R20 and terminals 08 - O11 are raised by
drivers 39 and 40 before being applied to the multicolored fluorescent display tube. This is because the luminous efficacy differs depending on fluorescent paints as shown in Fig. 10, and it is therefore necessary to increase the luminance of a paint having a poor luminous efficacy. Fig. 11 shows another example in which the display parts emit different colors corresponding to the heating parameters. For example, "Hi" and "Lo" indicating the cooking condition under microwave heating as well as the cooking time display figures emit green light, while "OVEN" and "GRILL" indicating the cooking condition under heating with the heater as well as the temperature display part emit red light, so that the cooking condition can be identified at a glance. - As described hereinbefore, according to the present invention, a single multicolored fluorescent display tube is employed to display in plural colors the cooking condition under microwave heating, the cooking condition under heating with the heater, the time setting and the temperature setting. Therefore, the present invention can provide a heating cooking apparatus in which the display is clearly visible and can be read without any error and which is free from mal- handling.
