Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking device having a heating section.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional general heating cooker, a grill control program is already built into a microcomputer by a manufacturer, and in other cases, a user manually controls heating of a heater. There are many.

[0003]

In the above conventional method,
Even if a maker incorporates a complicated program for grilling fish into a microcomputer, the user's tastes are so diverse that it is not possible to clear them all.

If the user does not meet the user's preference after executing the complicated program, the user further manually adjusts the heat of the grill heater if the user does not meet the user's preference. It comes with the task of adjusting to suit your tastes.

[0005] Further, some users have their own programs related to fish grilling, and manually control the heating of the heater in accordance with the programs. For example, they do not use complicated fish grilling programs installed by manufacturers. There was a problem.

[0006]

A top display portion for performing a heat level indication and a high temperature warning display on a top plate surface, an upper heater and a lower heater for grilling fish are arranged in a grill provided at a lower portion of the top plate, and the upper heater and the lower heater are further provided. A sensor for detecting the temperature inside the grill chamber is located in the vicinity of the unit, an operation unit including a display unit such as an LED is arranged on the front surface, and a microcomputer for controlling the heater power and the above means is mounted, and a buzzer or sound notification is provided. In a heating cooker provided with an electronic circuit unit equipped with an EEPROM for recording each data, The program in addition to the standard with and that the user can freely programmed energization time and the heater set temperature of the upper heater and the lower heater in accordance with the one that cooked in use grill.

Further, the microcomputer can store a plurality of types in which a user can freely set a program.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As described above, in addition to the fish grill control program for the grill as standard, the energizing time of the upper heater and the lower heater and the heater set temperature are set according to what the user cooks when using the grill. By adopting a configuration that can be freely programmed, the user can eliminate the manual operation by executing the user's own program if the grill heater control already programmed by the manufacturer is not enough,
In addition, a plurality of types of cooking can be automatically performed on the grill according to the user's preference only by the user's own program operation.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a heater, and a plurality of heaters A, B, and C are provided as heating devices on a top plate 15 portion. Limiters 2 for detecting respective temperatures are connected in series.

Since the top plate 15 is made of glass, the limiter 2 has an operating temperature lower than its heat-resistant temperature, and has a structure in which a contact opens when the operating temperature is reached.

A microcomputer 10 is provided inside the main body.
And an electronic circuit unit 3 on which an EEPROM 12 is mounted.

The top plate 15 has a top display 4 for indicating the heating power level of each heating device and also serving as a high-temperature caution warning. On the front side, an operation portion 14 for operating each heating device is included. A display unit 5 is provided.

An upper heater 7 and a lower heater 8 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the grill 6, and a sensor 9 for detecting the temperature in the grill 6 is mounted near the upper heater 7 and the lower heater 8. .

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a grill heater control circuit of a heating cooker according to one embodiment.

Data input from the operation unit 14 such as keys is output by the microcomputer 10 to the display unit 5 and the determined data is stored in the EEPROM 1.
2 is stored. On the basis of the stored data, the microcomputer 10 controls the upper heater 7 and the lower heater 8 inside the grill 6 through the relay driving circuit 13 from the input data from the sensor 9 inside the grill 6 and the programmed time. I do.

After the operation is completed, the notification unit 11 outputs an end sound.

Table 1 shows a program No. 1 operation process chart.

[0019]

[Table 1]

There are six steps in one program, and in each step, the temperature in the grill 6 and the power-on time of the heater 1 can be set.

In step 1, only the lower heater 8 is energized. In step 2, upper heater 7, in step 3, lower heater 8, step 4 is upper heater 7, step 5 is lower heater 8, and step 6 is upper heater 7. And an end sound is output at the end.
To inform.

This shows only the program No. 1, and the programs No. 2 to No. 10 have the same configuration as the program No. 1.

That is, ten kinds of programs are possible.

FIG. 3 is a chart showing a method of setting program No. 1.

First, a "program setting" switch on the operation unit 14 such as a key is pressed.

"-: 01" is displayed on the display section.

This shows Program No. 1. At this time,
(△) When SW is pressed, program N is displayed as shown in (A).
o.2 → 3 → ... 10 → 1 → 2 ...

(▽) When SW is pressed, the program No.
10 → 9 →... 2 → 1 → 10. Thus, the program number is set.

Next, the "program setting" SW is pressed. “.10 70” is displayed on the display unit 5. This indicates the sensor set temperature in step 1 of program No. 1.

At this time, when the (△) SW is pressed, the sensor temperature of the program No. 1 step 1 becomes 71 as shown in FIG.
° C → 72 ° C → ... 200 ° C → 70 ° C → 71 ° C ...

(▽) When SW is pressed, the program No.
The temperature of the sensor 9 in one step 1 is 200 ° C. → 199 ° C. →.
It changes from 70 ° C to 200 ° C. This allows program N
o. The temperature of the sensor 9 in the first step is 70 ° C to 2 at 1 ° C intervals.
Can be set up to 00 ° C.

Next, the "program setting" SW is pressed. The display section “.1-00” is displayed.

This indicates the heater energizing time in the program No. 1, step 1. At this time, if (△) SW is pressed, (C)
As shown in the figure, the heater energization time of the program No. 1 step 1 changes from 1 minute → 2 minutes →... 99 minutes → 0 minutes → 1 minute →.

(▽) When SW is pressed, program No. 1
Heater energization time of step 1 is 99 minutes → 98 minutes → ... 1 minute →
It changes from 0 minutes to 99 minutes.

As a result, the heater energization time in the program No. 1 step 1 can be set from 0 minute to 99 minutes at one minute intervals.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the "program setting" SW is pushed one after another, and the set temperature (70.degree. C. to 200.degree. C.) and the heater energization time (0.degree.
° C).

The operation method is the same as that shown in FIGS. When the setting of the heater energizing time in step 6 is completed, the data is determined by pressing the "grill on / off" SW, and the program operation ends.

When the "program setting" SW is pressed at the time of setting the heater energizing time in step 6, the first program is set.
Returns to No. setting display.

The operation content is as follows. While the set temperature control is being performed, the heater energization is 100% energization and OFF.
N / OFF control is performed. When the heater energization time is set to 0 minutes, the process set for 0 minutes is omitted.

FIG. 4 is a chart showing a method of executing the set program.

Before turning on the heater of the grill 6, the "program setting" SW is pressed. Program No. 1 is displayed on the display 5.
Is displayed. When (△) SW is pressed here, program N
o changes from 2 → 3 → 9 → 10 → 1 → 2.

(▽) When SW is pressed, the program No.
Changes from 10 → 9 →... 2 → 1 → 10. Thus, after setting the program number, the program is executed by pressing the "grill on / off" SW.

Then, at the end, the end sound is notified by the notifying section 11 and the processing is ended.

[0044]

As described above, according to the present invention, if the grill heater control already programmed by the manufacturer is not sufficient, the user's own program can be subsequently executed to eliminate the manual operation. Even with the user's own program operation alone, multiple types of grills can be automatically cooked according to the user's preference, thereby further improving product performance and increasing product appeal.
