Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、一般家庭用あるいは業務用に使用される炊飯器に関するものであり、常に安定してご飯を美味しく炊き上げようとするものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のこの種の炊飯器は、例えば特開平07−039456号公報のように、内釜の底部に当接する内釜温度検出手段、および蓋体に設けられた温度検出手段を有し、これらの温度情報を元に加熱を制御するものが一般的である。
【0003】
内釜に当接する内釜温度検出手段は、炊飯中の火加減制御を行うとともに、内釜の中の米が水を吸って水が無くなると、内釜底部の温度が急上昇する特性をとらえて炊飯を終了させ、蒸らしに移行させる機能を果たしている。
【0004】
また、蓋体に設けられた温度検出手段は沸騰点を検出し、吹きこぼれないように火加減を弱める機能を果たしている。
【0005】
【特許文献1】「特開平07−039456号公報」。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記従来例では、内釜温度検出手段の温度が終了温度を超えると炊飯が終了して蒸らし工程に移行する。通常の炊飯では前述のように内釜内部の水が無くなったときに炊飯終了温度を超える。しかし、炊き込み御飯における具や調味量の油分、あるいは通常の精白米の炊飯でも米の種類、例えば無洗米などによって、著しく内釜内部の対流が阻害される場合がある。
【0007】
対流が悪いと特に炊飯開始直後の沸騰前に、内釜底部の水温が早く上がり、上部の水温が上がりにくくなる。これにより炊飯初期の内釜に水が残った状態でも内釜底部の温度が異常に上がり終了温度に至ってしまう場合があった。
【0008】
この結果、蒸らしが終了した時点でも内釜内部にまだ水(湯)が残った状態となる場合があった(以下この状態を早切れと称す)。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明は、蓋体に設けられた内釜内部の雰囲気温度を検出する温度検出手段が、一定温度未満を検出した場合は制御部により炊飯の終了温度を高く設定し、一定温度以上を検出した場合は制御部の炊飯終了温度を低く設定するようにしたものである。
【0010】
前記本発明の構成によれば、炊飯開始から沸騰直前までの状態では蓋体に設けられた温度検出手段が検出した温度が一定温度未満となり、終了温度を高く保持する。このため対流が悪く内釜底部の温度が異常に高くなる米の炊飯でも、終了温度を超える事がなく、早切れを起こすことがない。
【0011】
さらに、炊飯の開始後やがて内釜内部が沸騰に近くなると、湯気で蓋体の温度検出手段が温められ、一定温度以上になると炊飯終了温度が低く設定される。水が無くなると内釜底部の温度が急上昇し、終了温度を超えて正しく蒸らしに移行させることが出来る。ここで、炊飯初期に早切れを生じない終了温度に炊飯工程一律に設定した場合に比べ、低い終了温度に設定しているため、内釜底部の温度が低い状態で炊飯終了を検出でき、焦げを少なくする事が出来る。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の炊飯器は、本体と、本体の上部開口を覆う蓋体と、本体に着脱自在に収納される内釜と、内釜を加熱する加熱手段と、内釜の温度を検出する内釜温度検出手段とを有し、内釜温度検出手段が予め定めた終了温度を検出すると炊飯を終了して蒸らし工程に移行する制御部を有する炊飯器において、前記蓋体には内釜内部の雰囲気温度を検出する温度検出手段を設け、温度検出手段が一定温度未満を検出した場合は前記制御部の炊飯終了温度を高く設定し、さらに、温度検出手段が一定温度以上を検出した場合は制御部の炊飯終了温度を低く設定するようにしたものである。
【0013】
また、前記蓋体の温度検出手段は、内釜と蓋体とで閉塞される空間内にサーミスタ式温度センサを露出させて設けたものである。
【0014】
あるいは、前記蓋体に設けた温度検出手段は、内釜内部の水の温度を非接触で温度検出する赤外線温度センサとしたものである。
【0015】
【実施例】
以下本発明の一実施例を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。図1は本発明の一実施例を示す炊飯器の断面図である。図2は同じく要部断面図である。
【0016】
図において、1は本体、2は保護枠、3は内釜、4は加熱手段、5は内釜温度検出手段、6はヒンジ軸、7は蓋体、7aは蓋枠、7bは蓋カバー、7cは蓋内面部材、7dは蓋加熱手段、7eは蒸気排出口、8は蓋シールパッキン、9は内蓋、9aは穴部である。10は温度検出手段、11はシールパッキン、12は制御部である。
【0017】
その構成は、本体1にはその内壁をなす保護枠2が取り付けられ、内釜3が着脱自在に挿入されている。保護枠2底部、側面部には内釜3を加熱する加熱手段4が設けられている。加熱手段4はヒーターでも良いが、本実施例では電磁誘導加熱により、内釜3に高周波磁界を加えて発熱させる誘導加熱コイルを加熱手段4としている。保護枠2の底部には内釜温度検出手段5が設けられ、内釜3底面に密着して熱的に結合し、内釜3底面の温度を検出するように構成されている。
【0018】
本体1にはヒンジ軸6にて回転自在に支持され、内釜3の上部開口を塞ぐ蓋体7が設けられている。蓋体7の構成は蓋枠7aの上方に外郭を成す蓋カバー7bが設けられ、蓋枠7aの下方には金属製の蓋内面部材7cと、蓋内面部材7cに設けられた蓋加熱手段7dが設けられている。また、蓋体7を貫通するように蒸気排出口7eが設けられている。蓋枠7aには内釜3上端に当接し、蒸気をシールする蓋シールパッキン8を有する内蓋9が着脱自在に取り付けられ、蓋内面部材7cと対向し、蓋内面部材7cからの輻射熱で内蓋9が加熱されるように設けられている。
【0019】
蓋内面部材7cには穴が設けられ、温度検出手段10がシールパッキン11を介して下方に突出して固定されている。本実施例での温度検出手段10はサーミスタにより温度を抵抗値の変化として検出している。
【0020】
前記シールパッキン11は内蓋9に密着し、蓋内面部材7cと内蓋9の間に閉塞(密閉)された空間を構成する。内蓋9には穴部9aが設けられ、この穴部9aは上方の温度検出手段10と対向した位置に設けられている。
【0021】
本体1の内部には制御部12を設け、制御部12には内釜温度検出手段5、温度検出手段10が接続され、温度情報を制御部12に入力する。制御部12には加熱手段4、蓋加熱手段7dが接続され、加熱を制御する。
【0022】
次に炊飯の一連の動作にそって、本実施例の作用について説明する。
【0023】
使用者が炊飯のため内釜3に所望量の米と適量の水を入れ、内釜3を本体1に挿入する。蓋体7を閉め炊飯スイッチ(図示せず)を操作すると、制御部12の指令で炊飯動作を開始する。加熱手段4に通電し、内釜3を加熱する。
【0024】
制御部12は炊飯を美味に仕上げるための火加減制御を、内釜温度検出手段5の情報を元に、炊飯の進行とともに、加熱手段4に対して行う。同時に、制御部12は内釜温度検出手段5が終了温度を検出したとき、炊飯を終了して蒸らしに移行させるべく監視しているが、炊飯開始から炊飯前半においては内釜3内部の水温も低く、蓋体7に設けられた温度検出手段10の温度も低い。
【0025】
本実施例では制御部12は温度検出手段10の温度が80℃未満のとき、終了温度を130℃と高く設定している。通常の炊飯ではこの時、内釜温度検出手段5は100℃以下を推移している。
【0026】
やがて、内釜3内部の水温が高まってくると発生する湯気によって、温度検出手段10が温められ、沸騰点に近づくと蒸気で一気に加熱され、温度検出手段10が80℃を超える。制御部12はこの時点で終了温度を120℃に低く設定を変更する。通常の炊飯ではこの時も、内釜温度検出手段5は100℃以下を推移している。
【0027】
沸騰状態を通常は5分程度継続すると、米が水を吸って内釜3内部の水が無くなる。すると加熱手段4に近い内釜3の底部の温度が急上昇し始め、終了温度である120℃を超える。制御部12は炊飯を終了させ蒸らしに移行させる。一定時間の蒸らし工程が終了すると、ご飯が炊き上がるものである。
【0028】
以上の通常の炊飯に対し、具や調味量が多量に入る炊き込み御飯の場合は、油分や塩分で内釜3内部の対流が著しく悪化する場合がある。また、米の銘柄や無洗米など、炊飯初期から澱粉が水に溶け出す米では同様に内釜3内部の対流が悪化する場合がある。
【0029】
この場合、炊飯の開始後、加熱手段4の加熱で内釜3底部の水温が急激に上昇し、上部へと対流しない。これに伴い内釜3底部の温度も急上昇し、内釜温度検出手段5の温度も急上昇する。この時一時的に120℃を超える場合がある。
【0030】
底部が沸騰に近い温度になる頃には米の抵抗を打ち破って上部へと対流し始め、やがて上部も沸騰近くに温度が上がり温度検出手段10が80℃を超える。この時点では上下の対流が成されているので、前述の通常の炊飯同様に内釜温度検出手段5は100℃以下を推移し、水が無くなると急上昇して終了温度130℃を越えて蒸らしに移行する。
【0031】
以上のように炊飯の初期に120℃を一時的に超えることがあるが、本発明では終了温度が130℃に設定されているので早切れすることはなく、本当の炊飯終了時は終了温度が120℃に設定されているので正常に蒸らしに移行させることが出来るものである。
【0032】
本発明の技術なしに、炊飯中の終了温度を一律に設定すると、120℃に設定した時は米によって早切れを生じることがあり、また130℃に設定した場合は、通常の炊飯でも内釜温度検出手段5が130℃を超えるまで炊飯終了できず、内釜3底部が高温となってご飯に焦げを生じる問題となるものである。
【0033】
なお、本実施例では温度検出手段10をサーミスタの抵抗変化で構成したが、内釜3内部の水温を赤外線量で検出する赤外線温度センサで構成しても同様の効果が得られるものである。
【0034】
また本実施例に記載した、80℃、120℃、130℃などの具体例は説明のためであって、これに限定したものではない。
【0035】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明では、蓋体には内釜内部の雰囲気温度を検出する温度検出手段を設け、温度検出手段が一定温度未満を検出した場合は制御部の終了温度を高く設定し、一定温度以上を検出した場合は制御部の終了温度を低く設定するようにしたので、早切れがなくなり、かつ、焦げを少なくすることができ、安定して美味なご飯を炊ける炊飯器を提供できるものである。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rice cooker used for general home use or business use, and is intended to always stably cook delicious rice.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional rice cooker of this type has an inner pot temperature detecting means which is in contact with the bottom of the inner pot and a temperature detecting means provided on the lid, as disclosed in, for example, JP-A-07-039456. Generally, heating is controlled based on temperature information.
[0003]
The inner pot temperature detecting means that comes into contact with the inner pot performs the heating control during cooking and captures the characteristic that the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot rises rapidly when the rice in the inner pot absorbs water and runs out of water. It has the function of ending rice cooking and shifting to steaming.
[0004]
Further, the temperature detecting means provided on the lid body has a function of detecting the boiling point and weakening the heat so as not to overflow.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-039456.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional example, when the temperature of the inner pot temperature detecting means exceeds the end temperature, the rice cooking is finished and the process proceeds to the steaming step. In normal rice cooking, when the water in the inner pot runs out as described above, the temperature exceeds the rice cooking end temperature. However, the convection inside the inner pot may be remarkably impaired depending on the type of rice in the cooked rice, the oil content of the seasoning amount, or even the rice of ordinary polished rice, depending on the type of rice, for example, unwashed rice.
[0007]
If the convection is poor, the water temperature at the bottom of the inner pot rises quickly before boiling, especially immediately after the start of rice cooking, and the water temperature at the top becomes difficult to rise. As a result, even when water remains in the inner pot at the beginning of rice cooking, the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot may rise abnormally and reach the end temperature.
[0008]
As a result, water (hot water) may still remain inside the inner pot even at the end of the steaming (hereinafter, this state is referred to as premature expiration).
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides a temperature detecting means for detecting an ambient temperature inside an inner pot provided on a lid, and when the temperature detecting means detects a temperature lower than a certain temperature, the control unit sets a high rice cooking end temperature. When a temperature equal to or higher than a certain temperature is detected, the rice cooking end temperature of the control unit is set low.
[0010]
According to the configuration of the present invention, the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means provided on the lid is lower than a certain temperature in a state from the start of cooking to immediately before boiling, and the end temperature is kept high. Therefore, even when rice is cooked with poor convection and the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot becomes abnormally high, the temperature does not exceed the end temperature and does not cause premature cutting.
[0011]
Furthermore, when the inside of the inner pot nears boiling soon after the start of rice cooking, the temperature detecting means of the lid is heated by steam, and when the temperature exceeds a certain temperature, the rice cooking end temperature is set low. When the water runs out, the temperature at the bottom of the inner kettle rises sharply, and the temperature can exceed the end temperature to shift to steaming correctly. Here, since the end temperature is set lower than the case where the rice cooking process is uniformly set to the end temperature that does not cause early cutting in the early stage of rice cooking, the end of rice cooking can be detected in the state where the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot is low, Can be reduced.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A rice cooker according to the present invention includes a main body, a lid covering an upper opening of the main body, an inner pot detachably housed in the main body, a heating means for heating the inner pot, and an inner pot for detecting the temperature of the inner pot. A rice cooker having a temperature detector and a controller that terminates rice cooking and shifts to a steaming step when the inner pot temperature detector detects a predetermined end temperature, wherein the lid has an atmosphere inside the inner pot. A temperature detecting means for detecting a temperature is provided, and when the temperature detecting means detects a temperature lower than a certain temperature, the rice cooking end temperature of the control unit is set higher. Is set low.
[0013]
Further, the temperature detecting means of the lid is provided by exposing a thermistor type temperature sensor in a space closed by the inner pot and the lid.
[0014]
Alternatively, the temperature detecting means provided on the lid is an infrared temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of water in the inner pot in a non-contact manner.
[0015]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a rice cooker showing one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the main part.
[0016]
In the figure, 1 is a main body, 2 is a protective frame, 3 is an inner pot, 4 is a heating means, 5 is an inner pot temperature detecting means, 6 is a hinge shaft, 7 is a lid, 7a is a lid frame, 7b is a lid cover, 7c is a lid inner surface member, 7d is a lid heating means, 7e is a vapor discharge port, 8 is a lid seal packing, 9 is an inner lid, and 9a is a hole. Reference numeral 10 denotes a temperature detecting unit, 11 denotes a seal packing, and 12 denotes a control unit.
[0017]
In the configuration, a protective frame 2 forming an inner wall is attached to a main body 1 and an inner pot 3 is detachably inserted. A heating means 4 for heating the inner pot 3 is provided on the bottom and side surfaces of the protection frame 2. The heating means 4 may be a heater, but in this embodiment, the heating means 4 is an induction heating coil that generates heat by applying a high-frequency magnetic field to the inner pot 3 by electromagnetic induction heating. An inner pot temperature detecting means 5 is provided at the bottom of the protective frame 2 and is configured to closely contact and thermally couple to the bottom face of the inner pot 3 to detect the temperature of the bottom face of the inner pot 3.
[0018]
The body 1 is provided with a lid 7 rotatably supported by a hinge shaft 6 and closing an upper opening of the inner pot 3. The lid 7 is provided with a lid cover 7b forming an outer shell above the lid frame 7a, a metal lid inner surface member 7c below the lid frame 7a, and a lid heating means 7d provided on the lid inner surface member 7c. Is provided. Further, a steam discharge port 7 e is provided so as to penetrate the lid 7. An inner lid 9 having a lid seal packing 8 that abuts on the upper end of the inner pot 3 and seals steam is detachably attached to the lid frame 7a. The inner lid 9 faces the inner lid member 7c, and is radiated by the radiant heat from the inner lid member 7c. The lid 9 is provided so as to be heated.
[0019]
A hole is provided in the lid inner surface member 7c, and the temperature detecting means 10 is fixed so as to protrude downward through a seal packing 11. In the present embodiment, the temperature detecting means 10 detects the temperature as a change in the resistance value by a thermistor.
[0020]
The seal packing 11 is in close contact with the inner lid 9 and forms a closed (closed) space between the lid inner surface member 7c and the inner lid 9. A hole 9a is provided in the inner lid 9, and the hole 9a is provided at a position facing the upper temperature detecting means 10.
[0021]
A control unit 12 is provided inside the main body 1. The control unit 12 is connected to an inner pot temperature detection unit 5 and a temperature detection unit 10, and inputs temperature information to the control unit 12. The heating unit 4 and the lid heating unit 7d are connected to the control unit 12 to control heating.
[0022]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described along a series of operations for cooking rice.
[0023]
The user puts a desired amount of rice and an appropriate amount of water into the inner pot 3 for cooking rice, and inserts the inner pot 3 into the main body 1. When the lid 7 is closed and a rice cooker switch (not shown) is operated, a rice cooker operation is started according to a command from the controller 12. The heating means 4 is energized to heat the inner pot 3.
[0024]
The control unit 12 controls the heating means 4 in accordance with the progress of the rice cooking based on the information of the inner pot temperature detecting means 5 based on the information of the inner pot temperature detecting means 5 to make the cooked rice delicious. At the same time, when the inner pot temperature detecting means 5 detects the end temperature, the controller 12 monitors to end the rice cooking and shift to steaming, but from the start of the rice cooking to the first half of the rice cooking, the water temperature inside the inner pot 3 is also monitored. The temperature of the temperature detecting means 10 provided on the lid 7 is also low.
[0025]
In this embodiment, when the temperature of the temperature detecting means 10 is lower than 80 ° C., the control unit 12 sets the end temperature as high as 130 ° C. At this time, in the case of ordinary rice cooking, the temperature of the inner pot temperature detecting means 5 has changed to 100 ° C. or less.
[0026]
Eventually, the steam generated when the water temperature inside the inner pot 3 increases increases, and the temperature detecting means 10 is heated. When the temperature approaches the boiling point, the temperature detecting means 10 is heated at once by steam, and the temperature detecting means 10 exceeds 80 ° C. At this point, the controller 12 changes the setting so that the end temperature is lowered to 120 ° C. At the time of ordinary rice cooking, the temperature of the inner pot temperature detecting means 5 is kept at 100 ° C. or less even at this time.
[0027]
If the boiling state is normally continued for about 5 minutes, the rice absorbs the water and the water in the inner pot 3 runs out. Then, the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot 3 near the heating means 4 starts to rise rapidly, and exceeds the end temperature of 120 ° C. The control unit 12 ends the cooking and shifts to steaming. After the steaming process for a certain period of time, the rice is cooked.
[0028]
In the case of cooked rice having a large amount of ingredients and seasonings compared to the above-described ordinary rice cooker, convection inside the inner pot 3 may be significantly deteriorated by oil or salt. In the case of rice in which starch dissolves in water from the beginning of rice cooking, such as a rice brand or unwashed rice, convection inside the inner pot 3 may be similarly deteriorated.
[0029]
In this case, after the start of rice cooking, the water temperature at the bottom of the inner pot 3 rises rapidly due to the heating of the heating means 4 and does not convect upward. Accordingly, the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot 3 also rises rapidly, and the temperature of the inner pot temperature detecting means 5 also rises rapidly. At this time, the temperature may temporarily exceed 120 ° C.
[0030]
By the time the bottom reaches a temperature close to boiling, the rice breaks down the resistance and starts to convect upward. The temperature of the top soon rises to near boiling, and the temperature detecting means 10 exceeds 80 ° C. At this point, the upper and lower convection is formed, so that the inner pot temperature detecting means 5 shifts below 100 ° C. as in the case of the above-mentioned normal rice cooking, and when water runs out, it rises rapidly and exceeds the end temperature of 130 ° C. to steam. Transition.
[0031]
As described above, although the temperature may temporarily exceed 120 ° C. at the beginning of rice cooking, the end temperature is set to 130 ° C. in the present invention, so that the temperature does not prematurely stop, and the end temperature at the end of the actual rice cooking. Since the temperature is set to 120 ° C., it is possible to normally shift to steaming.
[0032]
Without the technology of the present invention, if the end temperature during rice cooking is set uniformly, rice may be quickly cut off when set at 120 ° C, and when set at 130 ° C, even rice cooked in ordinary rice cookers Cooking cannot be completed until the temperature detecting means 5 exceeds 130 ° C., and the bottom of the inner pot 3 becomes high temperature, which causes a problem of scorching the rice.
[0033]
In the present embodiment, the temperature detecting means 10 is constituted by the resistance change of the thermistor. However, the same effect can be obtained even if the temperature detecting means 10 is constituted by an infrared temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the water inside the inner pot 3 by the amount of infrared rays.
[0034]
Further, specific examples such as 80 ° C., 120 ° C., and 130 ° C. described in the present embodiment are for explanation, and are not limited thereto.
[0035]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the present invention, the lid is provided with temperature detecting means for detecting the ambient temperature inside the inner pot, and when the temperature detecting means detects a temperature lower than a certain temperature, the end temperature of the control unit is set to a high value, and When a temperature higher than the temperature is detected, the end temperature of the control unit is set to be low, so there is no premature cutting, and there is less burning, and a rice cooker that can stably cook delicious rice can be provided. It is.
