Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radio communication system which does not cause an communication error due to the noise of microwave even when the noise of microwave generated from a microwave heater exists in a frequency band used for communication. SOLUTION: After the microwave heater 1 simultaneously supplies a signal of 'start a heating operation S2' to all radio devices 5 and 6, the microwave heater starts a heating operation and repeats the heating operation and a stop every lapse of 5 seconds. On the other hand, the radio devices 5 and 6 receiving the signal of 'start a heating operation S2' and a radio device 4 stop a communication operation during the heating operation. After the stop of the heating operation, the radio devices 4, 5 and 6 respectively start data transmitting and receiving operations at random time intervals for each radio device. After that, the data transmitting and receiving operations and the stop are repeated correspondingly to the stop of the heating operation and the resumption of the heating operation.

FIG. 6 is a state transition diagram of the operation of the wireless communication system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The configuration diagram of the wireless communication system and the block diagram of the wireless communication unit of each device are shown in FIG.
It is the same as FIG.

First, in Embodiments 1 to 3, the heating operation time and the heating stop time alternately occur, and all the radio devices 5 and 6 other than the microwave heating device 1 that has received the data of "heating start S2" Then, data is transmitted for each heating stop time, and if there is no data to be transmitted, "communication performance verification" data is transmitted. On the other hand, the microwave heating apparatus 1 always receives the data of all the wireless devices, and manages the number of received data, that is, the number of all the existing wireless devices.

Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, the microwave heating apparatus 1 completely stops heating during the first heating stop time, and counts the number of data of all the wireless devices. At this time,
When the data number of all the radios is 0, there is no radio in the vicinity, so that it is not necessary to stop heating thereafter, and the microwave heating device 1 performs the heating operation set by the timer of the microwave heating device 1. Heating is performed at maximum output in time.

On the other hand, the number of data of all the radios is counted, and when the existence of the radio is confirmed, the number of radios is stored. Then, in the second heating stop time, the microwave heating device performs the heating operation with low power without completely stopping the heating. For example, the maximum output of a normal heating operation is 400
If it is W, heating is performed at an output of 100 W. Further, also in the low output heating time, similarly to the above, the microwave heating apparatus 1 receives the data of all the radios, and after the start of the heating operation, reduces the number of received data by the number of data of all the radios received for the first time. Compare with As a result, if the number of received data is reduced, a wireless device that cannot perform data transmission / reception has occurred due to the low-power heating operation, so that the output is returned to the immediately preceding output and the heating operation is performed. On the other hand, when the number of received data does not decrease, in the third heating stop time, the heating operation is performed at a lower power by increasing the power than in the second heating stop time. Hereinafter, similarly, the heating operation and the stop or the weak operation are repeated.

In the heating operation, if the heating operation is properly performed in the weak operation without repeating the heating operation and the stop or the weak operation, the heating operation is performed in the weak operation. The same instruction as “stop heating” is sent to all radios, but an instruction to “stop timer” is sent so that all radios can transmit and receive data at any time.

Next, a specific description will be given with reference to FIG. First, the microwave heating apparatus 1 obtains an output necessary for heating the food put in the heating chamber, and sets a heating of J6, for example, 400 W. Then, when heating is started, “Heating start S
The data of "2" is transmitted to all the wireless devices 5 and 6 except the wireless device 4 of the microwave heating device 1, and transition to the 400W heating operation of J6 is performed (T1), and the heating operation is performed for a fixed time, for example, 5 seconds. Then, after the heating operation is completed, a transition is made to stop heating of J1 (T2), and data from all the radios 4 and 5 are waited.

Thereafter, after a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds, J
The process transitions to the 400W heating operation 6 (T3), and the heating operation is performed for 5 seconds. After the heating operation is completed, J
The operation transits to 100W heating operation of No. 2 (T4), and the number of data from all wireless devices is confirmed. Therefore, if the number of radio devices is smaller than the number of radio devices previously confirmed, a radio device that cannot perform data transmission and reception due to weak operation has occurred, and thereafter, the microwave heating apparatus 1 performs “400 W heating” and “heating”. The heating operation is performed by repeating “stop”.

On the other hand, if the number of radios is the same as the number confirmed at the time of stopping the heating of J1, the 100W heating operation of J2 is reduced to 5 times.
After that, the operation transits to 400W heating operation of J6 (T5).

On the other hand, if the number of radios is the same as the number confirmed when the heating of J1 is stopped, the 200W heating operation of J3 is reduced by 5 times.

The operation transits to the 00W heating operation (T8), and the number of data from all the wireless devices is confirmed in the 300W heating operation. Thereafter, the same operation is performed to determine the maximum output of the weak operation in which the microwave heating device 1 and all wireless devices can communicate.
