  The pulley 76 rotates the pulley 15 at a reduced speed, and the pulley 78 rotates the pulley 19 at an increased speed. As a result, the rotation required for the rotating shaft 14 and the speed required for the rotating shaft 18 higher than that of the rotating shaft 14 are increased. Rotation can be obtained with a common motor 70. By covering the operation with the minimum motor in this way, it is possible to suppress the component cost.

  The lid 30 covers the baking chamber 40 and the mill unit 60 at the same time, so that the automatic bread maker 1 has a clean appearance. In the lid 30, a ceiling 32 is provided in a portion on the left side of the blocking wall 31, that is, a portion covering the baking chamber 40. The ceiling 32 is obtained by molding a sheet metal into a dome shape, and the top portion thereof is connected to a viewing window 33 provided on the lid 30.

In addition to the clutch 72, a motor driver 79 of the motor 70 and a temperature sensor 81 are connected. The temperature sensor 81 is disposed in the baking chamber 40 and detects the temperature of the baking chamber 40. A commercial power supply 82 supplies power to each component.

  Then, the process of manufacturing bread from cereal grains using the automatic bread maker 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 13. FIGS. 5 to 10 show the first aspect of the bread manufacturing process.

  FIG. 5 is an overall flowchart of the first aspect bread manufacturing process. In FIG. 5, the process proceeds in the order of the impregnation process before grinding # 10, the grinding process # 20, the kneading process # 30, the fermentation process # 40, and the firing process # 50. Then, the content of each process is demonstrated.

  In the pre-grinding impregnation step # 10 shown in FIG. 6, first, in step # 11, the user opens the lid 30, removes the cap 62, and puts the weighed grain into the grinding cup 61. Rice grains are most easily available as grains, but other grains such as wheat, barley, straw, buckwheat, buckwheat, corn and the like can also be used.

  In step # 12, the user measures the liquid and puts a predetermined amount into the crushing cup 61. A common liquid is water, but it may be a liquid having a taste component such as broth or fruit juice. Alcohol may be contained. Note that the order of step # 11 and step # 12 may be switched.

  In step # 13, the mixture of cereal grains and liquid is allowed to stand in the grinding cup 61, and the cereal grains are impregnated with the liquid. The cap 62 and the lid 30 are preferably closed. In general, since the impregnation is promoted as the liquid temperature becomes higher, a means for heating the grinding cup 61 may be provided.

  In step # 14, the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the grain and liquid were mixed. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the pre-grinding impregnation step # 10 ends. This is notified to the user by display on the display unit 22 or by voice.

  Following the pre-grinding impregnation step # 10, the pulverization step # 20 shown in FIG. 7 is performed. When the user inputs grinding operation data (type and amount of grain, type of bread to be baked, etc.) through the operation unit 20 and presses the start key, the grinding is started.

  In step # 21, the control device 80 drives the motor 70, puts the clutch 72 in a connected state, and rotates the output shaft 74. Then, the grinding blade 63 starts rotating in the mixture of the grain and liquid. Since the pulverization by the pulverization blade 63 is performed in a state where the liquid is immersed in the cereal grains, the cereal grains can be easily pulverized to the core. The protrusion 61a formed on the inner surface of the crushing cup 61 suppresses the flow of the mixture of the grain and the liquid and assists crushing. Since the cap 62 closes the upper surface opening of the crushing cup 61, cereal grains and liquid do not scatter out of the crushing cup 61 and adhere to the inner surface of the lid 30.

  In step # 22, in order to obtain a desired pulverized grain, a pulverization pattern as set (however, when the pulverizing blade is continuously rotated, intermittently interlaced with a stop period, or intermittently rotated, the interval is taken. The control device 80 checks whether or not the rotation time length has been completed. When the pulverization pattern as set is completed, the process proceeds to step # 23 to finish the rotation of the pulverization blade 63, and the pulverization step # 20 ends.

  In the above description, it is assumed that after the impregnation step # 10 before pulverization, the pulverization step # 20 is started by the user's operation. However, the user may perform the pulverization work before or during the impregnation step # 10 before pulverization. If data is input, the pulverization step # 20 may be automatically started after the pre-grinding impregnation step # 10 is completed.

  Subsequent to the pulverization step # 20, the kneading step # 30 shown in FIG. 8 is performed. In step # 31, the user opens the lid 30 and takes out the pulverizing cup 61. The dough material made of the mixture of pulverized grains and liquid generated in the pulverizing step # 20 is put in the bread container 50. Transfer. The dough raw material at this time is pasty or slurry. In the present specification, the material at the start of the kneading step # 30 is referred to as “dough raw material”, and the material that has come close to the intended state of the dough as the kneading progresses, ".

  In step # 32, the user inputs a predetermined amount of gluten into the dough material. Add seasoning ingredients such as salt, sugar and shortening as needed.

  The user inputs the type of bread and cooking details from the operation unit 20 before and after Step # 32. When the user presses the start key when the preparation is completed, the bread making operation that automatically connects from the kneading step # 30 to the fermentation step # 40 and further to the baking step # 50 is started.

  In step # 33, the control device 80 drives the motor 70, puts the clutch 71 in a connected state, and rotates the output shaft 73. Then, the kneading blade 52 starts rotating in the dough material. Further, the controller 80 energizes the heating device 41 and raises the temperature of the baking chamber 40. As the kneading blade 52 rotates, the dough raw material is kneaded and kneaded into a dough connected to one having a predetermined elasticity. When the kneading blade 52 swings the dough and knocks it against the inner wall of the bread container 50, an element of “kneading” is added to the kneading. The protrusion 50a formed on the inner wall of the bread container 50 helps "kneading".

  In step # 34, the control device 80 checks how much time has elapsed since the rotation of the kneading blade 52 started. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step # 35.

  In step # 35, the user opens the lid 30 and puts yeast into the dough.

  In step # 36, the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the yeast was added to the dough. When the time necessary for obtaining the desired dough has elapsed, the process proceeds to step # 37, where the rotation of the kneading blade 52 is completed. At this point, the dough that is connected and has the required elasticity has been completed.

  Note that the yeast used in step # 35 may be dry yeast. Baking powder may be used instead of yeast.

  Subsequent to the kneading step # 30, the fermentation step # 40 shown in FIG. 9 is performed. In step # 41, the dough that has undergone the kneading step 30 is placed in a fermentation environment. That is, the control device 80 energizes the heating chamber 40 to the heating device 41 if necessary, and sets the temperature in a temperature zone where fermentation proceeds. The user arranges the dough, if necessary, and leaves the dough.

  In step # 42, the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the dough was placed in the fermentation environment. If predetermined time passes, fermentation process # 40 will be complete | finished.

  Subsequent to the fermentation step # 40, the firing step # 50 shown in FIG. 10 is performed. In step # 51, the fermented dough is placed in a baking environment. That is, the control device 80 sends electric power necessary for baking to the heating device 41 and raises the temperature of the baking chamber 40 to the baking temperature zone.

  In step # 52, the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the dough was placed in the baking environment. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the firing step # 50 ends. Here, since the completion of bread making is notified by display or sound on the display unit 22, the user opens the lid 30 and takes out the bread container 50.

  During the baking step # 50, the user can look into the inside of the bread container 50 through the viewing window 33 and check the degree of bread swell and the color of the baked color.

  Next, a second aspect of the bread making process will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is an overall flowchart of the second aspect bread manufacturing process. In FIG. 11, the process proceeds in the order of pulverization step # 20, post-pulverization impregnation step # 60, kneading step # 30, fermentation step # 40, and firing step # 50. Next, the content of the post-grinding impregnation step # 60 will be described based on FIG.

  In step # 61, the user moves the dough raw material formed in the crushing step # 20 to the bread container 50. This dough raw material has not been subjected to the impregnation step before pulverization. In step # 62, the dough raw material is allowed to stand in the bread container 50, and the crushed grain is impregnated with the liquid. The control device 80 energizes the heating device 41 as necessary to heat the dough material and promote the impregnation.

  In step # 63, the control device 80 checks how much time has passed since the start of standing. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the post-grinding impregnation step # 60 is finished. When the post-grinding impregnation step # 60 is completed, the process automatically proceeds to the kneading step # 30. The steps after the kneading step # 30 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In addition, after the pulverization impregnation step # 60 is allowed to proceed in the pulverization cup 61 and the dough raw material is transferred from the pulverization cup 61 to the bread container 50, the kneading step # 30 may be immediately started.

  Next, a third aspect of the bread making process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is an overall flowchart of the third aspect bread manufacturing process. Here, the pre-pulverization impregnation step # 10 of the first aspect is placed before the pulverization step # 20, and the post-pulverization impregnation step 60 of the second aspect is placed after the pulverization step # 20. The steps after the kneading step 30 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  The mill unit 60 can be used not only for pulverizing grains, but also for stripping ingredients such as nuts and leafy vegetables. For this reason, bread containing fine ingredients can be baked. Since the pulverizing cup 61 of the mill unit 60 is detachable from the main body 10, the pulverized cereal grains and the chopped ingredients can be easily transferred to the bread container 50. The inside of the crushing cup 61 can be easily cleaned. The mill unit 60 can be used to grind ingredients other than ingredients mixed in bread and crude drug ingredients.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. Note that, in the second embodiment, the same reference numerals as those used in the first embodiment are assigned to components that are the same as or in common with those of the first embodiment, and description thereof is omitted.

  The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the kneading blade 52 and the grinding blade 63 are driven by separate motors. That is, a saddle shaft motor 90 (see FIG. 15) is attached to the base 12, a pulley 92 is fixed to the output shaft 91 of the motor 90, and the pulley 92 and the pulley 15 of the rotary shaft 14 are connected by a belt 93. ing. On the side of the mill unit 60, a shaft motor 95 is attached to a beam 94 (see FIG. 14) provided in the main body 10. The rotating shaft 64 of the grinding blade 63 is connected to the output shaft 96 of the motor 95 via the coupling 65. As shown in FIG. 16, a motor driver 97 is combined with the motor 90, and a motor driver 98 is combined with the motor 95.

  With this configuration, the kneading blade 52 and the pulverizing blade 63 can be driven independently of each other's operation. Further, it becomes easy to give the optimum rotation speed to the kneading blade 52 and the grinding blade 63, respectively.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

  The present invention is widely applicable to automatic bread machines used mainly in general households.
