Therefore, when the first temperatures are measured three times in the first temperature measurement step (S210), the second temperatures may be measured three times in the second temperature measurement step (S220).
  • the thermistor 300 may measure the temperatures of the cavity 100 at the time interval equal to the set time interval in the first temperature measurement step (S210). Therefore, when the first temperatures are measured at the time interval of 6 seconds in the first temperature measurement step (S210), the second temperatures may be measured at the time interval of 6 seconds also in the second temperature measurement step (S220).
  • times to be elapsed between respective pairs of the first temperature measurement time points and the second temperature measurement time points may be equal to each other.

  • the set number of times in the blowing fan stop step (S240) is, for example, three times
  • the first temperatures may also be measured three times and the second temperatures may also be measured three times.
  • the difference value between the first temperature and the second temperature is calculated and examined the set number of times. Therefore, it is appropriate that each of the first temperatures and the second temperatures required for the determination are also measured the set number of times in the blowing fan stop step (S240). Further, there is no need to measure each of the first temperatures and the second temperatures more, and each of the first temperatures and the second temperatures should not be measured less.
  • the first temperatures and the second temperatures measured in the cavity 100 may be transmitted to the controller 600, and the controller 600 may calculate the respective difference values between the first temperatures and the second temperatures and compare the difference values with the reference value Vref.

  • the cavity 100 may not be cooled by the blowing fan 400, and the temperature of the cavity 100 may increase more quickly, so that the temperature of the circuit breaker 500 may also increase by the heat conducted from the cavity 100.
  • the circuit breaker 500 may operate and be short-circuited to cut off the power to the cooking appliance. As the power to the cooking appliance is cut off, the electricity may not be supplied to the heater 200, and accordingly, the heater 200 may also be turned off.
  • the circuit breaker 500 may be constructed so as not to be operated by the controller 600. Because the controller 600 is in the control incapable state where it is not able to control the heater 200 in the first place, the circuit breaker 500 may reliably turn off the heater 200 by cutting off the power to the cooking appliance in response to the temperature increase rather than the command from the controller 600.
  • FIG. 9 is a diagram for illustrating a case in which the blowing fan 400 remains turned on in a method for controlling a cooking appliance according to an embodiment.
  • FIG. 9 shows an embodiment in which remaining values and other conditions are the same as those in the case shown in FIG. 8 except for the measurement result of the second temperatures.

In other words, the respective three difference values between the first temperatures and the second temperatures are not all equal to or greater than the reference value Vref.
  • the blowing fan 400 may remain turned on. In this case, judging from the temperature change of the cavity 100, it may be seen that heater 200 is turned off or at least is not in the uncontrollable state at the time of measuring the second temperature, so that the blowing fan 400 may be continuously operated to cool the cavity 100.
  • control method of the embodiment may proceed with the first temperature measurement step (S210) again. That is, the controller 600 may initialize the blowing fan off step (S200) described above and proceed with the first temperature measurement step (S210) of the cavity 100 again.
  • the heater 200 When the heater 200 is turned off, the temperature of the cavity 100 will continue to decrease, so that the first temperature will not be measured again. However, when the temperature of the cavity 100 reaches the second set temperature T2 again, the first temperature measurement step (S210) and the following steps will be performed again.
  • FIG. 10 is a flowchart for illustrating an entire process of a method for controlling a cooking appliance according to an embodiment.
  • the method for controlling the cooking appliance according to an embodiment will be described overall with reference to FIG. 10 .
  • the power may be applied to the cooking appliance, and the cooking appliance may proceed to the cooking mode or the self-clean mode.
  • the cooking appliance In the cooking mode or the self-clean mode, the cooking appliance may be controlled by the controller 600 and may operate in the corresponding mode.
  • the control method of the embodiment may be performed in the idle mode as described above.
  • the blowing fan 400 may operate to cool the cavity 100.
  • the thermistor 300 may measure the temperatures of the cavity 100 at the set time interval, and measure the plurality of first and second temperatures described above.
  • the controller 600 may receive information on the first temperature and the second temperature from the thermistor 300, calculate the respective difference values between the first temperatures and the second temperatures, and compare such values with the reference value Vref.
  • the controller 600 may turn off the blowing fan 400.
  • the temperature of the circuit breaker 500 may increase.
  • the circuit breaker 500 may be short-circuited when the temperature thereof reaches the cut off set value Vcut. Accordingly, the power to the cooking appliance may be completely cut off, and at this time, the controller 600 may also be turned off.
  • the heater 200 When the power to the cooking appliance is cut off, the heater 200 does not receive the electricity, so that the heater 200 may be turned off for sure.
  • Such control method may effectively prevent the fire and the explosion of the cooking appliances by turning off the heater 200 in the uncontrollable state.
