Here, the operation display section is provided with a cleaning information indicator lamp 32, a cleaning information reset switch 33, and an inlet duct forgetting notification lamp 34, which are turned on and off in response to detection.

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

  First, the induction heating cooker generates an alternating magnetic field from the heating coil by causing a high-frequency current to flow through the heating coil by the drive circuit, and generates an eddy current in the pan to be heated to perform heating. In addition, the heating coil generates self-heat due to the coil resistance and the flowing current, and receives heat from the pan through the top plate, and thus becomes high temperature. However, if the temperature of the electrical insulator of the heating coil is exceeded, dielectric breakdown will occur, and cooling is required to lower the temperature of the heating coil. Similarly, the drive circuit that supplies current to the heating coil also self-heats and needs to be cooled so as not to exceed the temperature of components used in the components existing in the drive circuit. In particular, the switching element becomes high temperature due to self-heating. If the allowable component temperature of the switching element is exceeded, thermal destruction will occur, and cooling is required.

  Here, the path of the cooling air will be described. The air that has passed through the upper filter at the top of the inlet duct inserted in the inlet provided at the rear of the top plate meanders by the inclined rib of the inlet duct, and finally bends inward of the inlet duct by the inward rib. The air that passes through the filter, passes through the path of the fan cover, is sucked into the cooling fan, is ejected from the outlet of the cooling fan to the drive circuit, and cools the drive circuit, subsequently cools the heating coil and the roaster unit.

  And it is discharged | emitted to the exit of a main body outline.

  Next, the flow of air in the intake duct and the flow of attached oil and moisture will be described.

  The upper filter at the upper part of the intake duct is about 60 mesh resin mesh in consideration of the passage of cooling air. Oil and moisture contained in the passing air collide with the mesh net and collect oil and moisture. Further, the air passing through the upper filter meanders by the inclined ribs of the intake duct as shown in FIG. At this time, the oil and moisture contained in the air has a greater specific gravity than the air, so the inertia is collected by the inertia and adheres to the inner walls of the inclined ribs and the inlet duct, and the light air with a specific gravity passes through the path while meandering. Is done. Also, after passing through the inclined rib, the air inlet duct inward rib 24 is formed in the upper part opened to the cooling fan intake side, so that the air that has advanced from the opening to the fan intake is once inward of the intake duct. Since it is returned, oil and moisture existing in the air easily collide with the inner wall of the intake duct. The intake duct partly has a cross section of the intake path smaller than the cross section of the outside opening of the main body of the intake duct, so that the sucked air is inclined inward, and the oil content present in the sucked air Moisture easily collides with the inner wall surface of the inlet duct, and the adhesion of oil and moisture can be increased. Further, the inward rib can prevent water from splashing into the intake fan when the user spills water into the intake duct, and can prevent the intake fan from being swallowed. In this way, the oil and water adhering to the inclined rib and the inner wall of the intake duct are transmitted through the inner wall of the intake duct and are transmitted to the storage section by the inclined section, and stored in the storage section so as not to spill the collected oil and water. Finally, air passes through the lower filter. The lower filter is about 60 mesh resin mesh considering the passage of cooling air. Oil and moisture contained in the passing air collide with the mesh net and collect oil and moisture.

  Next, cleaning of the intake duct and the upper and lower filters will be described.

  First, the cleaning notice will be described. FIG. 6 is an operation block diagram by time measurement of the induction heating cooker in the first embodiment of the present invention. First, time measurement is started by a microcomputer from the time of installation after purchase and connection to a 200V power supply. After that, the built-in induction heating cooker can continue to measure the time of the microcomputer even when the power switch is turned off while the power is connected. When one year has passed, the cleaning indicator light on the operation display unit is turned on to prompt the user to clean. The user removes the upper filter and pulls out the intake duct with the lower filter from the main unit. Then, move the lower filter's operating claw, remove it from the intake duct, disassemble the intake duct by moving the operating claw, remove the neutral detergent on the sponge, clean it, and combine the intake duct again. Then, hook the lower claw on the air intake duct with the fixed claw, insert the operating claw, set it, and insert it into the air intake on the outer shell of the main unit. Finally, place the upper filter over the inlet duct. Finally, the user presses the cleaning notification reset switch on the operation display section to send an ON signal to the microcomputer, the cleaning information indicator light on the operation display section turns off, the microcomputer time measurement is reset, returns to the initial value, and then restarts. Measurement starts. In addition, a loop-like operation of turning on the cleaning information indicator after one year is repeated.

  FIG. 7 is an operation block diagram by temperature detection of the induction heating cooker in the first embodiment of the present invention. As described above, the switching element generates the largest amount of heat in the drive circuit, and the temperature rise changes most sensitively when the cooling air of the fan decreases. Therefore, the temperature detection element is installed below the switching element. The microcomputer measures the information obtained from the temperature detection element, and compares the measured value with the threshold value that was input in advance so that the switching element would not generate heat and break down due to thermal runaway. When the measured value is lower than the threshold value, the heating operation can be performed as usual. Due to oil, moisture, and dust adhering to the upper and lower filters and the intake duct, intake clogging occurs, the temperature measurement value rises, and the threshold value is reached. Heating is stopped, and at the same time, the cleaning indicator lamp on the operation display is turned on to prompt the user to clean. The user removes the upper filter and pulls out the intake duct with the lower filter from the main unit. Then, move the lower filter's operating claw, remove it from the intake duct, disassemble the intake duct by moving the operating claw, remove the neutral detergent on the sponge, clean it, and combine the intake duct again. Then, hook the lower claw on the air intake duct with the fixed claw, insert the operating claw, set it, and insert it into the air intake on the outer shell of the main unit. Finally, place the upper filter over the inlet duct. Finally, the user presses the cleaning indicator reset switch on the operation display section to send an ON signal to the microcomputer, the cleaning notification indicator light on the operation display section turns off, the microcomputer permits the acceptance of the heating key, and the temperature measurement is simultaneously performed. Restart. Here, until the cleaning notification reset switch is pressed, even if the heating key is pressed, the acceptance of heating is not permitted and heating is disabled.

  FIG. 8 is an operation block diagram of the induction heating cooker according to the first embodiment of the present invention by detecting the wind speed. A wind speed detection element is provided on the drive circuit in the vicinity of the cooling fan ejection part. This is for detecting the change in the wind speed of the cooling fan with high sensitivity in the vicinity. The microcomputer measures the information obtained from the wind speed detection element, and compares the measured wind speed threshold with the measured wind speed threshold value that was input in advance. When the measured value is higher than the threshold value, the heating operation can be performed as usual. Intake and clogging occurs due to oil, moisture, and dust adhering to the upper and lower filters and the intake duct, resulting in a decrease in the measured wind speed and reaching the threshold value. In order to protect the parts, heating is stopped, and at the same time, the cleaning indicator light on the operation display is turned on to prompt the user to clean. The user removes the upper filter and pulls out the intake duct with the lower filter from the main unit. Then, move the lower filter's operating claw, remove it from the intake duct, disassemble the intake duct by moving the operating claw, remove the neutral detergent on the sponge, clean it, and combine the intake duct again. Then, hook the lower claw on the air intake duct with the fixed claw, insert the operating claw, set it, and insert it into the air intake on the outer shell of the main unit. Finally, place the upper filter over the inlet duct. Finally, the user presses the cleaning indicator reset switch on the operation display section to send an ON signal to My Microcomputer. The cleaning information indicator light on the operation display section turns off and the microcomputer permits the acceptance of the heating key, and at the same time measures the temperature. Will restart. Here, until the cleaning notification reset switch is pressed, even if the heating key is pressed, the acceptance of heating is not permitted and heating is disabled.

  FIG. 9 is an operation block diagram of the induction duct detection switch of the induction heating cooker according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the enlarged view of the main portion right side cross section of the induction heating cooker in the first embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 4, the inlet duct is inserted on the inlet connection side opened in the outer body of the fan cover. An air intake duct detection switch 28 is provided within a range, and the air intake duct detection switch is connected to the drive circuit by connection, and an ON / OFF signal is processed by a microcomputer in the drive circuit. When the intake duct is not inserted, the intake duct detection switch is OFF, and the microcomputer does not receive an ON signal and is considered OFF. At this time, the microcomputer does not permit the reception of the heating key, and cannot be heated even if the heating key is pressed. That is, the cooling fan also rotates and does not take in air. At the same time, an indicator for forgetting to insert the inlet duct in the operation display section is turned on to prompt the user to insert the inlet duct. When the intake duct is inserted, the contact case is pushed and driven by the outer wall of the intake duct to turn on the contact portion of the intake duct detection switch. The microcomputer detects the ON signal, permits the reception of the heating key, and turns off the forgetting to insert the inlet duct of the operation display unit.
