  However, the configuration of the conventional automatic bread maker has a problem in that the amount of secondary materials such as raisins and nuts to be set is determined by the main body configuration, so that the user's preferred amount cannot be input. It was.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide an automatic bread maker capable of charging a desired amount of secondary materials such as raisins and nuts.

  In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, an automatic bread maker according to the present invention includes a baking chamber having a heater, a baking mold that is detachably mounted in the baking chamber, and a motor provided on the inner bottom of the baking mold. A kneading blade driven by the control device, a control device that performs baking control, a notification device that notifies the end of cooking, and a secondary material input device that inputs secondary materials such as raisins and nuts into the baking pan, In the process, the secondary material input device is operated, and the notification device notifies the secondary material input. In addition to the automatic input of secondary materials such as raisins and nuts, the secondary material input is notified by the notification device. Thus, the user can know the timing of adding the secondary material and can add the secondary material to the bread dough according to the desired amount.

  The automatic bread maker of the present invention can add sub-materials such as raisins and nuts according to the user's preferred amount regardless of the capacity of the main body.

  The first invention is a baking chamber having a heater, a bread baking mold detachably mounted in the baking chamber, a kneading blade provided on the inner bottom of the bread baking mold and driven by a motor, and a control for performing baking control An apparatus, an informing device for informing the end of cooking, etc., and an auxiliary material input device for adding auxiliary materials such as raisins and nuts to the baking mold, and operating the auxiliary material input device in the kneading process, The notification device informs the addition of the secondary material. In addition to the automatic addition of the secondary material such as raisins and nuts, the notification device informs the introduction of the secondary material. You can add and add additional ingredients to your bread dough.

  In particular, the second invention is a combination of the operation timing of the auxiliary material input by the auxiliary material input device of the first invention and the operation timing of the auxiliary material input notification by the notification device. By notifying the addition of the auxiliary material by the notification device at the same timing as the automatic addition of the material, the user can know the timing of adding the auxiliary material and can mix the auxiliary material into the bread dough according to his / her preference.

  In particular, the third invention is such that the operation timing of the auxiliary material input by the auxiliary material input device of the first invention is shifted from the operation timing of the notification of the auxiliary material input by the notification device. After automatic feeding of ingredients, delay the specified time and notify the secondary material input by a notification device. At that time, if soft secondary materials such as raisins are introduced, the raisin nut bread with reduced raisins can be reduced. Can be cooked.

  In particular, the fourth invention includes an input device for setting the notification timing of the auxiliary material input by the notification device according to any one of the first to third inventions. For example, the timing of the auxiliary material input notification is arbitrarily set. By setting late, automatic addition of secondary ingredients, hard secondary ingredients such as nuts are introduced into the bread dough, and soft secondary ingredients such as raisins are introduced at a delayed timing by a delaying alarm device. You can cook nut bread with raisins with reduced crushing.

  In particular, the fifth invention is provided with an input means for canceling the notification of the addition of the auxiliary material by the notification device according to any one of the first to fourth inventions, and only the automatic addition of the auxiliary material such as raisins and nuts is performed. When performing, unnecessary notification sound can be stopped by not performing notification by the notification device.

  The sixth invention is particularly equipped with an input means for canceling the setting of the auxiliary material input by the auxiliary material input device of any one of the first to fifth inventions, such as chocolate and cheese that are melted at room temperature. Since the material cannot be set in advance in the auxiliary material input device, it is input by the user by the notification device. In this case, unnecessary power consumption can be suppressed by stopping unnecessary auxiliary material input devices.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a plan view of an input device and a display device of an automatic bread maker according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In addition, about the same part as the said prior art example, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an input device 10 and a display device 11 in a state where all segments of the LCD are lit. As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic bread maker according to the present embodiment has a cooking menu selection display, LCD 20 for displaying the remaining cooking time, setting for whether or not auxiliary material is automatically added, and setting whether or not charging notification is present, LED 21 indicating the standby state, cooking state, and end state, and setting and whether or not automatic auxiliary material is charged It has a push button switch 22 for operating notification setting, menu selection, cooking start / off, and other configurations are the same as the conventional example.

  FIG. 2 shows a cooking process when the menu is bread. When cooking starts, the process begins with the kneading process, followed by the kneading process and the first fermentation process. Here, in the case of the neglect process, when the temperature detected by the thermistor 7 is less than 26 ° C., the heater 2 is driven at a duty of 10% to warm the inside of the firing chamber 1. In the kneading process, the motor 4 is intermittently operated in conjunction with the energization of the heater 2 to mix the dough in the bread baking mold 3. Moreover, the heater 2 is similarly energized also about 1st fermentation, 2nd fermentation, and shaped fermentation. The degassing is a process in which the motor 4 is intermittently operated for a short time to degas the bread dough. About the last baking, it is the process which raises the inside of the baking chamber 1 to about 140 degreeC, and bakes bread dough.

  Here, the actual operation will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the push button switch 22 is operated to set automatic insertion “present” and input notification “present”, and the menu is “bread”. Subsequently, strong powder, butter, sugar, skim milk, salt, water, and dry yeast are set in the baking mold 3, and then the raisins are set in the auxiliary material charging device 8. At that time, the LED 21 is turned off to indicate a standby state. After the setting, the push button switch 22 is operated to start cooking. When started, the LED 21 is switched to a lit state, indicating that it is in a cooking state.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to the kneading process, and after a while, the auxiliary material input device 8 is driven to input the raisins into the bread baking mold 3 and the notification device 12 notifies the auxiliary food input, and the user who heard it Puts the remaining raisins that could not be set into the baking mold 3. Thereafter, the motor 4 is stopped for 3 minutes due to the addition of the secondary material, and then the motor 4 is operated again to mix the raisins with the bread dough. Then, proceed with the first fermentation, degassing and proceed with the cooking process. When the final baking process is completed, the notification device 12 notifies the end of cooking, and the LED 21 switches to a blinking state, indicating the cooking end state.

  In this way, the secondary material such as raisins and nuts exceeding the capacity that can be set in the secondary material input device 8 can be input by the notification of the notification device 12, and the chocolate or cheese is melted at room temperature, and is previously stored in the secondary material device 8. Sub-materials that cannot be set can also be input.

  Here, when the push button switch 22 is operated to set “None” for automatic charging, the auxiliary material charging device 8 in the kneading process is set not to operate, and only the auxiliary material that is easily melted at room temperature such as chocolate is selected. At the time of charging, if only the notification device 13 is operated, or conversely, the push button switch 22 is operated to set the input notification to “None”, the notification device 12 will not be notified in the kneading process, and only nuts will be input. Thus, it can operate as automatic cooking that is simply set in the auxiliary material input device 8, and unnecessary notifications can be turned off.

  In addition, although the kneading stop time after adding the auxiliary material in the kneading process is set to 3 minutes, it is not limited to this time.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 5 is a plan view showing an input device and a display device of the automatic bread maker according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Note that the same parts as those in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the input device 10 and the display device 11 in a state where all segments of the LCD are turned on. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, regarding the input notification, “standard”, “slow”, and “none” can be selected.

  Here, the actual operation will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 6, the push button switch 22 is operated to set automatic feed “present” and feed notification “slow”, and the menu is “bread”. Subsequently, strong powder, butter, sugar, skim milk, salt, water, and dry yeast are set in the baking mold 3, and then walnuts are set in the auxiliary material charging device 8. At that time, the LED 21 is turned off to indicate a standby state. After setting, when the push button switch 22 is operated to start cooking, the LED 21 is switched to the lighting state, indicating that the cooking state has been entered.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to the kneading process, and after a while, the auxiliary material input device 8 is driven to input the walnuts into the bread baking mold 3. For 1 minute thereafter, the motor 4 is stopped until the charging from the auxiliary material charging device 8 is completed, and then the kneading operation is resumed. Five minutes later, the notification device 12 notifies the addition of the supplementary food, and the user who has heard the notification inputs the raisins into the baking mold 3. Thereafter, the motor 4 is stopped for 3 minutes due to the addition of the secondary material, and then the motor 4 is operated again to mix the raisins and walnuts with the bread dough. Then, proceed with the first fermentation, degassing and proceed with the cooking process. When the final baking process is completed, the notification device 12 notifies the end of cooking, and the LED 21 switches to a blinking state, indicating the cooking end state.

  In this way, crushed raisins can be suppressed by introducing a soft secondary material such as raisins into the latter half of the kneading process.

  In addition, although the kneading stop time after adding the auxiliary material in the kneading process is 1 minute or 3 minutes, it is not limited to this time.

  As described above, the automatic bread maker according to the present invention is capable of supplying auxiliary materials such as raisins and nuts according to the user's preference regardless of the capacity of the auxiliary materials that can be set. Applicable to equipment.
