Description

  The present invention relates to a heating cooker that performs heating control to enhance cooking performance.

  Conventionally, when fried food is performed with this type of cooking device, the temperature is kept until a stop command is issued at a temperature set by the user (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

FIG. 4 shows a heating pattern of a conventional cooking device described in Patent Document 1. When the user gives an instruction to start frying, the temperature rises to the set temperature, and then the temperature adjustment is maintained at the set temperature.
JP-A-4-352919

  However, in the conventional configuration, since temperature adjustment is performed only at a single temperature setting, in the case of a cooking object suitable for low-temperature long-time cooking as a deep-fried food, the final temperature immediately before taking out the cooking object However, since it remains at low temperature, it has a problem that the surface cannot be crisp even if the necessary heat reaches the inside of the object to be cooked, or it is set to a high temperature as fried food to make the surface crisp When the process was performed, the problem was that the surface was too scorched before the heat was transferred to the inside.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and does not move the food to be cooked, does not burn the food to be cooked, and allows the surface of the food to be cooked to be crisp. It aims at providing the cooking device which can be fried in.

  In order to solve the conventional problem, the cooking device of the present invention has a short-term oil temperature rise mode start operation unit, and the temperature control unit sets the temperature of the oil stored in the load pan to the first temperature. When the short-term oil temperature rise mode start command input unit accepts a user command while holding, the temperature control unit increases the second temperature when the first temperature is lower than the second temperature. , Held for a predetermined time, and then returned to the first temperature to continue the temperature holding operation.

  Thus, the first temperature is set to a temperature that does not burn when supplying necessary heat to the inside of the object to be cooked, and the heat of the oil in the load pan is transmitted to the inside of the object to be cooked because it is maintained for a necessary time. In addition, it is possible to reach an appropriate temperature to the inside of the object to be cooked without scorching the outer surface of the object to be cooked, and when the short-term oil temperature rise mode start command input unit receives a user command, the temperature control unit By raising the outer surface of the object to be cooked to the second temperature for a short period of time by raising the temperature to the second temperature higher than the first temperature, the moisture on the outer surface of the object to be cooked rapidly evaporates, The texture on the surface is crisp and the surface can be prevented from being too scorched.

  The cooking device of the present invention can pass the heat to the inside without burning the food to be cooked, and can further fry the food to be cooked with a crisp texture.

  1st invention is the temperature which the heating part which heats a load pan, the temperature detection part which detects the temperature of the said load pan, the heating control part which controls the output of the said heating part, and the temperature which the said temperature detection part detects A temperature control unit for controlling the operation of the heating control unit to adjust the temperature of the load pan to a predetermined set temperature, and an operation unit for inputting a user command, the temperature control unit comprising the load pan By maintaining the inner temperature at the first temperature, the first temperature is set to a temperature that does not burn when supplying necessary heat to the inside of the object to be cooked. The heat of the oil is transferred to the inside of the object to be cooked, and the outer surface of the object to be cooked can reach an appropriate temperature up to the inside of the object to be cooked, and the short-term oil temperature rise mode start command input unit is used. When receiving the command from the person, the temperature controller By raising the high temperature to the second temperature, the outer surface of the object to be cooked is exposed to the second temperature for a short period of time, so that the moisture on the outer surface of the object to be cooked is rapidly evaporated and the texture of the outer surface of the object to be cooked is It can be made crisp and its surface not burned too much.

  According to the second aspect of the invention, when the user inputs a command, the user is surely switched to the short-term oil temperature rising mode by notifying that the user has switched to the short-term oil temperature rising mode. In addition, by notifying that the temperature of the load pan has reached the second temperature, the user can know that the temperature has risen. It is convenient and easy to use because it is possible to know the guideline for taking out the food, and to cook properly without overcooking the food to be cooked.

  In the third aspect of the invention, after the second temperature is maintained for a predetermined time, the temperature of the load pan returns to the first temperature, so that the food to be cooked in the initial stage is taken out and then separated again. When the food to be cooked is continuously added to the fried food, it is possible to know the time to reach the first temperature, which is an appropriate temperature for adding the food to be cooked continuously, and fried early without overburning. It can be cooked properly as well.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the temperature control unit 5 determines the inclination of the increase in the detected temperature until the detected temperature of the temperature detecting unit 5 reaches the second temperature after the user inputs the short-term oil temperature increasing mode command. Detecting and detecting the amount of the cooking object in the load pan based on the magnitude of the inclination, and detecting that all of the cooking object has been removed, the detected temperature of the temperature detection unit becomes the first temperature. By suppressing the output of the heating control unit so as to return, it is possible to prevent the temperature from rising too much in a state where the number of objects to be heated is small, so that the temperature can be returned to the first temperature sooner and continuously fed. The cooked food can be appropriately cooked in the same manner as the deep-fried food without being burned too much.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the temperature control unit performs the operation until the temperature of the load pan returns to the first temperature again after the user commands the short-term oil temperature rise mode and holds the second temperature for a predetermined time. By notifying the effect, the user can know that the load pan is not at the first temperature, and the user does not accidentally put in new food during the notification, so the food to be cooked is burnt. It can be cooked properly just as it was fried early without being too much.

  In the sixth aspect of the invention, when the first temperature is 155 to 165 ° C., the fried food is fried for a long time at a low temperature, and the food to be cooked reaches an appropriate temperature without being burned too much. Furthermore, by setting the second temperature to 170 ° C. to 195 ° C., the food to be cooked will be taken out at the optimum temperature to take out the food to be cooked, and the texture will be crisp without being overburned. Can do.

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

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a circuit block diagram schematically showing the step surface of the heating coil of the heating cooker in the first embodiment of the present invention and the flow of input and output of each circuit block.

  In FIG. 1, a tempura pan 1 is placed on a ceramic plate (not shown), and a plate-like heating coil 2 is disposed below the ceramic plate so as to be opposed thereto. The heating coil 2 is connected to an inverter circuit that receives a voltage from the commercial power supply 9 and generates a high-frequency current, and a heating control unit 4 that includes the control circuit. The thermistor 3 which is a temperature detection element is provided in direct contact with the back surface of the bottom surface of the tempura pan 1 or in contact with the back surface of the ceramic plate. The thermistor 3 is connected to a temperature control unit 5, and the temperature control unit 5 inputs a signal from the operation unit 6 and outputs a signal to the heating control unit 4. Moreover, the temperature control part 5 has a notification means (not shown). The operation unit 6 has input means such as an input key, an input switch, and an input dial for inputting a user command. Further, the operation unit 6 functions as a heating start key (not shown) for starting heating, and a fried food for holding the oil 10 in the tempura pan 1 at a predetermined appropriate temperature (180 ° C. in this embodiment). A setting key (not shown), a short-time oil temperature rise key (short-term oil temperature rise mode start command input unit) 7, and an oil temperature change key 8 for changing the oil 10 in the tempura pan 1 to an arbitrary temperature (Oil temperature setting section) is provided.

  About the cooking-by-heating machine comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

  First, when the deep-fried food setting key in the operation unit 6 is operated, the heating coil 2 is energized, and the tempura pan (loading pan) 1 in which the oil 10 and the cooking object 11 are accommodated is supplied with high-frequency current to the heating coil 2. As a result, the bottom surface is induction-heated. The temperature control unit 5 inputs temperature data obtained by detecting the temperature of the tempura pan 1 by the thermistor 3 and the heating control unit 4 so that the temperature is stabilized at a predetermined set temperature (180 ° C. in the present embodiment). Is controlled (for example, the magnitude of the current in the heating coil section is changed), and the output of the heating coil section 2 is increased or decreased. When the oil temperature change key 8 is operated, the set temperature can be changed from 150 ° C to 200 ° C.

  When the user operates the short-term oil temperature rise key 7, a signal corresponding to the key is output to the temperature controller 5. When the temperature control unit 5 inputs the signal, the temperature of the tempura pan 1 is set to a predetermined value when the set temperature is lower than 180 ° C., for example, 165 ° C., by the oil temperature change key 8. To the set temperature (180 ° C. in the present embodiment), held at that temperature for a predetermined time (10 minutes in the present embodiment), and after the predetermined time has elapsed, the heating control unit returns to the original set temperature. The heating control unit 4 heats the tempura pan 1 while controlling the power output to the heating coil 2 accordingly.

  FIG. 2 shows a heating pattern diagram of temperature and electric power controlled by the heating cooker in the first embodiment of the present invention. Less than. The above operation will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 2, the user operates the fried food key in the operation unit 6, and sets the oil temperature set temperature to 165 ° C. with the oil temperature change key 8 and starts cooking the fried food (time t 0). Input from the power source 9, the oil temperature of the tempura pan rises to the first temperature (θ1) at time t1 (step A1). Thereafter, the temperature adjustment is maintained at the first temperature (θ1) (step A2). That is, at time t1 when the oil temperature reaches the first temperature θ1, the input power, that is, the heating output is reduced, and at time t2 when the oil temperature falls to the third temperature θ3, the input power is increased again, and the oil temperature becomes θ1. The output is lowered at time t3 when the value reaches. This operation is repeated to adjust the temperature of the tempura pan 1 to θ1.

  The user puts the cooking object 11 after time t1 when the oil temperature reaches θ1, and looks at the heating condition. The set temperature is set to 165 ° C. so that the surface of the object to be heated 11 does not burn and heat is sufficiently supplied to the inside. When the user determines that heating of the object to be cooked 11 has been completed (the inside of the object to be heated 11 has been sufficiently heated), or immediately before that, the oil temperature rise key 7 is operated for a short time. On the other hand, a short-term oil temperature rise mode start command is issued (time t6). When the short-time oil temperature rise key 7 receives a short-term oil temperature rise mode start command (time t6), the oil temperature in the tempura pan 1 rises to the second temperature θ2 (180 ° C. in this embodiment). When the output is increased and the second temperature θ2 is reached (time t7), a short-term oil temperature increase mode is maintained in which the temperature is maintained for a predetermined time T (A steps 3 and 4). In step A4, the power output is lowered at time t7 when the oil temperature reaches the second temperature θ2, and the power is increased again at time t8 when the oil temperature falls to the fourth temperature θ4 to reach the second temperature θ2. The output is lowered at time t9. This operation is repeated, and the electric power is adjusted so that the temperature of the tempura pan is maintained at the second temperature θ2. A user takes out a to-be-cooked material from oil between t6 and t11 after a short-term oil temperature rise mode start. Further, at t11 after a lapse of a predetermined time (T) after being held at θ2, the control to hold at θ2 is terminated, and the power is lowered so as to return to the first temperature θ1 (A step 5). Thereafter, the oil temperature returns to the first temperature θ1 (t12), and the electric power is controlled so as to continue the temperature holding at the first temperature θ1 (step A6). A process 6 shows the same pattern as A process 2, a user can throw in another to-be-cooked object again in A process 6, and the pattern of A process 2 to A process 5 can be repeated.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a comparison of heating patterns when the heated object 10 of the heating cooker according to the first embodiment of the present invention is removed during the short-term ascending mode and when it is not. A process indicated by a broken line in FIG. 3 is a case where the object to be heated 10 continues and is present in the tempura pan 1, and a process B indicated by a solid line is a short-term oil temperature increase mode in which the object to be heated is 10 The case where all are removed from the inside of the tempura pan 1 is shown.

  In FIG. 3, when the oil temperature in the tempura pan 1 is held at the first temperature θ1 (step A2 and step B2), when a short-term oil temperature increase mode start command is received from the user (time point t6). The temperature control unit 5 tries to increase the temperature to the second temperature θ1, but the temperature control unit 5 detects the temperature of the tempura pan 1 during the temperature increase (θ1 → θ2), and the temperature increase is {( Tn−Tm) / (tn−tm)} is detected, and the load of the food to be cooked in the tempura pan is detected based on the inclination {(Tn−Tm) / (tn−tm)} (A Step 3 and Step B 3). That is, if the inclination is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the temperature control unit 5 determines that all of the object to be cooked 10 has been removed. The temperature control unit 5 cooks as described above from the time t6 when the short-time oil temperature increase key 7 receives the short-term oil temperature increase mode start command to the time t7 when the oil temperature reaches the second temperature θ2. When it is detected that all of the objects 10 have been removed, the heating control unit 4 is suppressed so as to return the oil temperature to the first temperature θ1 even though the oil temperature has not reached the second temperature θ2. 5). Thereafter, the temperature holding is continued at the first temperature θ1 (step B 6). When the food to be cooked in the case where {(Tn−Tm) / (tn−tm)}, which is the inclination of the temperature rise in Step 3, is small, is stored in the tempura pan after t7, the second temperature θ2. Then, control is performed so as to return to the first temperature θ1 after holding for a predetermined time T (step A4).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, by operating the oil temperature change key 8, the oil temperature can be set to the first temperature θ1 that does not burn when the necessary heat is supplied to the inside of the cooking object 11. Therefore, the to-be-cooked object 11 accommodated in the tempura pan 1 keeps the oil temperature at that temperature for the necessary time, so that the heat of the oil in the tempura pan 1 is sufficiently transmitted to the inside of the to-be-cooked object, and the outer surface of the to-be-cooked object becomes When the temperature of the cooking object 11 can reach an appropriate temperature without being burnt, and when the oil temperature increasing key 7 receives a user's command for a short time (time point t6), the temperature control unit 5 performs the second operation. By raising the temperature to the temperature θ2, the outer surface of the object to be cooked is exposed to the second temperature θ2 for a short period of time, so that the moisture on the outer surface of the object to be cooked rapidly evaporates and the texture of the outer surface of the object to be cooked becomes crisp. , So that the surface does not burn too much That. Further, when the user inputs a command with the oil temperature change key 8 at time t6, it is notified that the temperature control unit has switched to the short-term oil temperature increase mode. As a result, the user can be surely switched to the short-term oil temperature rising mode, and it can be confirmed that the user's intention has been achieved. Notify that the second temperature θ2 has been reached. As a result, the user can know that the oil temperature has risen, know the guideline for taking out the food to be cooked, and be able to cook properly without the food being cooked too much, making it convenient and convenient to use. be able to.

  In addition, after the second temperature θ2 is held for a predetermined time T at time t12, it is notified that the temperature of the tempura pan has returned to the first temperature θ1. Thereby, after taking out the food to be cooked in the initial stage, when another food to be cooked is continuously fed again and fried, the first temperature θ1 which is an appropriate temperature for feeding the continuous food to be cooked is set. You can know when it will reach you, and it can be cooked properly just as it was fried early without overburning.

  Moreover, it is preferable to set it as 155-165 degreeC as 1st temperature (theta) 1, and it will fry low temperature for a long time as a fried food, and to reach a suitable temperature to the inside of a to-be-cooked object without being cooked too much. Can do. Furthermore, the second temperature θ2 is preferably 170 ° C. to 195 ° C., and the food to be cooked is taken out at an optimum temperature to take out the food to be cooked from the oil, and the texture is not too scorching. Can do.

  In addition, the temperature control unit 5 detects the rising temperature of the detected temperature until the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 5 reaches the second temperature θ2 after the user inputs the short-term oil temperature increase mode command. When the amount of the cooking object 11 in the load pan 1 is detected based on the magnitude of the inclination and it is detected that the cooking object 11 has been completely removed or less than the predetermined amount, the temperature detection unit 5 detects the temperature. Since the output of the heating control unit is suppressed so as to return to the first temperature θ1, it is possible to avoid the temperature from being excessively increased in a state where the number of objects to be heated 11 is small, and to return to the first temperature θ1 earlier. Thus, the food 11 to be continuously added can be appropriately cooked in the same manner as that fried in the initial stage without being excessively burnt.

  In addition, after the transition to the short-term oil temperature increase mode, after the second temperature θ2 is maintained at the second temperature θ2 for a predetermined time (T), the temperature of the tempura pan 1 returns to the first temperature θ1 again (time point t6). -Time t12), the temperature control part 5 notifies that. Thereby, the user can know that the tempura pan 1 is not the first temperature (θ1), and the user does not inadvertently add new food during the notification (time t6 to time t12). Therefore, the food to be cooked can be properly cooked in the same manner as the deep-fried food without being burned too much.

  The heating coil 2 may be a gas stove, a sheathed heater, or a nichrome heater. In particular, since the induction heating cooker and the gas stove have good responsiveness of the temperature detection unit 3, the effects of the present invention are easily obtained.

  As described above, the cooking device according to the present invention can pass the heat to the inside without burning the cooking object, and further fry the cooking object with a crisp texture. It can also be applied to uses such as gas stove cookers and electric fryer.
