Description

  The present invention relates to a cooking device, and more particularly to a cooking device capable of changing the number of adjustment steps of the heating amount.

There exists a heating cooker comprised so that the adjustment | control stage number of the amount of heating could be changed in a heating cooker.
And, as such a heating cooker, for example, according to the content of the signal input of the thermal power adjustment key, it is determined whether it is a staged thermal power change or a linear thermal power change, and a selection instruction is given as to a linear thermal power change or a staged thermal power change. A heated cooker (gas cooker) has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

  In this cooking device, when the time during which the heating power adjustment key is pressed is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the thermal power level switching is instructed to be selected, and when the time during which the heating power adjustment key is pressed is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, the linear heating power change is selected. It is configured so that the thermal power is changed stepwise by operating the thermal power adjustment key when a stepwise thermal power change is instructed, and the thermal power is linearly changed when a linear thermal power change is instructed. I am doing so.

  Further, Patent Document 2 includes a rotary encoder as a pulse generating unit that outputs a pulse signal by operating a thermal power adjusting operation tool, and this output pulse is input to a control unit, and the control unit outputs a heating unit (a combustor). ) A cooking device (gas stove) configured to control the flow rate control valve for the stove to adjust the amount of gas fuel supplied to the heating means (the stove burner), When the eco mode command switch is provided by operating the eco mode command switch, the heating power of the heating means (combustor) that is adjusted to 5 levels before the eco mode command is adjusted to 17 levels. A cooking device (gas stove) configured as described above has been proposed.

JP 2000-179861 A JP 2013-134047 A

  However, in the case of adjusting the heating amount with the heating power adjustment key that is pressed and operated as in the heating cooker (gas stove) of Patent Document 1, the number of steps for adjusting the heating amount is determined depending on whether the heating power adjustment key is long-pressed or not long-pressed. Although it can be changed, the pressing operation of the heating power adjustment key has a problem that the operability is poor and it is difficult to change the number of steps of adjusting the heating amount.

  In addition, as in the case of the heating cooker (gas stove) of Patent Document 2, when adjusting the heating amount of the heating means by the output pulse of the rotary encoder interlocking with the heating amount adjusting operation tool, the operation of the rotary encoder is long-pressed. Since there is no concept of whether to perform a long press or not, it is necessary to provide a switch for changing the heating amount adjustment stage, such as an eco-mode command switch, separately from the rotary encoder, which increases manufacturing costs. There is a problem of doing.

  The present invention solves the above-described problem, and does not require a switch for changing the heating amount adjustment stage number separately from the heating amount adjustment command means using the rotary encoder, and suppresses an increase in cost. An object of the present invention is to provide a cooking device that is capable of changing the number of adjustment steps of the heating amount by a rotating operation and has excellent operability.

In order to solve the above problems, the heating cooker of the present invention is
A heating means for heating the cooking container, a heating amount adjusting means for adjusting the heating amount of the heating means, a heating amount adjustment command means for instructing a heating amount adjustment command by a rotating operation, a combustion start command and combustion of the heating means A point fire extinguishing command means for commanding a stop command, and an operation control means for controlling the combustion of the heating means,
Combustion control in which the operation control means starts combustion of the heating means based on the combustion start command of the point fire extinguishing command means and stops combustion of the heating means based on the combustion stop command. As well as
Based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means, the operation control means sets the heating amount of the heating means to a set maximum heating amount, a set minimum heating amount, and the set maximum heating amount and the set minimum. By executing the heating amount adjustment control that operates the heating amount adjusting means so that the heating amount adjusting means can be adjusted to a plurality of stages of intermediate heating amounts set between the heating amount, the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is set to a plurality of stages. A cooking device configured to be set to the number of types of stages,
Angular velocity detection means for detecting the angular velocity of the heating amount adjustment command means;
The operation control means is configured to set the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount according to the magnitude of the absolute value of the angular velocity.

  Further, in the cooking device of the present invention, when the absolute value of the angular velocity is increased, the number of steps of the intermediate heating amount is set smaller than before increasing the absolute value of the angular velocity, and when the absolute value of the angular velocity is decreased. It is preferable that the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is set to be larger than before the absolute value of the angular velocity is reduced.

In the cooking device of the present invention,
Corresponding to the number of stages of heating amount of the heating means including the set maximum heating amount, the set minimum heating amount, and the intermediate heating amount when the intermediate heating amount is set to the minimum and the intermediate number of steps is set to the minimum. And a light emission type heating amount display means for displaying the heating amount,
When the number of steps of the intermediate heating amount is set larger than the minimum setting of the intermediate step number, the heating amount of the heating unit adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command unit matches the number of steps. Otherwise, the heating amount display means corresponding to the heating amount closest to the heating amount larger than the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means flashes or lights up. And the blinking or lighting of the heating amount display means corresponding to the heating amount closest to the heating means on the side smaller than the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means It is preferable that the heating amount of the heating unit adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command unit is displayed by performing.

  As described above, the heating cooker according to the present invention includes the angular velocity detection means for detecting the angular velocity of the heating amount adjustment command means for instructing the heating amount adjustment command by a rotating operation, and the operation control means has an absolute angular velocity. Since the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is set according to the magnitude of the value, in order to change the number of adjustment stages of the heating amount, a heating amount adjustment command means (for example, a heating amount adjustment command means for commanding the heating amount adjustment command by rotating operation) In addition to the heating amount adjustment command means using a rotary encoder, it becomes unnecessary to provide a switch for changing the number of heating amount adjustment steps.

  Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a switch for changing the heating amount adjustment stage separately from the heating amount adjustment command means constituted by a rotary encoder or the like, it is possible to suppress an increase in cost, and heating by a rotating operation. It becomes possible to provide a cooking device that can change the number of adjustment stages of the amount and is excellent in operability.

  If the absolute value of the angular velocity is increased, the number of steps of the intermediate heating amount is set less than before increasing the absolute value of the angular velocity, and if the absolute value of the angular velocity is decreased, the intermediate heating is performed more than before the absolute value of the angular velocity is decreased. When it is configured so that the number of steps is set to be large, the heating amount adjustment command means can be operated slowly (slowly) to increase the number of steps of the intermediate heating amount, and the heating amount can be finely adjusted. Thus, the operability and the feeling of use can be further improved.

  In addition, a light-emitting heating amount display means for displaying the heating amount corresponding to each stage number of the heating amount of the heating means including the set maximum heating amount, the set minimum heating amount, and the intermediate heating amount at the time of setting the minimum number of intermediate stages When the number of stages of intermediate heating amount is set more than when the minimum number of intermediate stages is set, the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means does not match the number of stages The blinking or lighting of the heating amount display means corresponding to the heating amount of the nearest heating means on the side larger than the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means, and the heating amount adjustment Heating is performed by blinking or lighting the heating amount display means corresponding to the heating amount of the nearest heating means on the side smaller than the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the command means. When the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the adjustment command means is displayed, the number of stages of the heating amount display means (that is, the light emission type heating amount display means (for example, LED)) Since the number of arrangements) should correspond to the number of stages (number of stages) at the time of setting the minimum number of intermediate stages, an increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  It should be noted that fine adjustment of the heating power is performed while observing the boiling state of the contents of the cooking container, so that the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means On the side larger than the heating amount, the heating amount display means corresponding to the heating amount of the latest heating means blinks or lights up, and smaller than the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means When the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means is displayed by blinking or lighting of the heating amount display means corresponding to the heating amount of the latest heating means on the side However, it is considered that there is almost no deterioration in operability and usability.

  In the following, embodiments of the present invention will be shown to describe the features of the present invention in more detail.

<Basic Configuration of Heating Cooker According to Embodiment of the Present Invention>
As shown in FIG. 1, the cooking device according to the embodiment of the present invention is a gas stove with a grill, and is a burner 1 ((standard burner 1 a, high-heat burner 1 b, heating means for heating a cooking container such as a pan, And three burners of a small burner 1c), and on the top plate, there are five virtues 51 for receiving and supporting the cooking container to be heated by each burner 1.

  In addition, the cooking device includes a grill portion 4 for placing an object to be cooked such as fish, and a grill burner (not shown) is disposed in the grill portion 4.

  The standard burner 1 (1a) is provided with a temperature sensor (pan bottom temperature sensor) 9 for contacting the cooking container and detecting its temperature. In addition, it is also possible to similarly provide the high thermal power burner 1b and the small burner 1c with temperature sensors.

  On the front side of the gas stove, heating amount adjustment for manually instructing ignition and extinguishing, heating power adjustment and various settings of the above-described burner 1 and a grill burner (not shown) provided in the grill portion 4 Command means (burner operating section) 21 (standard burner operating section 21a, high-burning power burner operating section 21b, small burner operating section 21c), and for manually instructing ignition and extinguishing of the grill burner, heating power adjustment and various settings A grill burner operation unit 22 is provided.

In the heating cooker of this embodiment, the heating amount adjustment command means (burner operation units) 21 and 22 described above also function as point fire extinguishing command means for instructing a combustion start command and a combustion stop command for the heating means (burner). Is configured to do.
Note that a power switch 24 and a power lamp 25 for notifying that the power switch 24 is turned on are provided on the front side of the gas stove.

  Further, in the vicinity of the periphery of each heating amount adjustment command means (burner operation section) 21 (21 standard burner operation section 21a, high thermal power burner operation section 21b, small burner operation section 21c), a heating amount (thermal power) display means 23 is provided. Five combustion display lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 are disposed (see FIG. 3). In addition, in the heating cooker of this embodiment, LED is used as the said combustion display lamp.

  The heating cooker also adjusts the heating amount (heating power) of the heating means (burner 1) based on the command from the heating amount adjustment command means (burner operation unit) 21 described above (not shown). )).

  The heating cooker also includes a control unit (operation control unit) that controls the combustion of the heating unit (burner 1), and the operation control unit starts combustion of the heating unit based on a combustion start command. And it is comprised so that the combustion control which stops combustion of a heating means (burner 1) based on a combustion stop command may be performed.

  And in this cooking-by-heating machine, the above-mentioned heating amount adjustment command means (burner operation part) 21 is constituted using the rotary encoder which can instruct the heating amount adjustment command of burner 1 by rotation operation.

Then, based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means (burner operation unit) 21 using the rotary encoder, the heating amount of the heating means (burner) 1 is set to the set maximum heating amount, the set minimum heating amount, and A heating amount adjustment control for operating a heating amount adjusting means (not shown) is executed so as to be adjusted to a plurality of intermediate heating amounts set between the set maximum heating amount and the set minimum heating amount. It is configured.
In addition, the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is configured to be set to a plurality of types of stages.

  Next, the characteristic structure of the heating cooker concerning this embodiment is demonstrated. Here, the standard burner 1a will be described in detail. However, the high thermal power burner 1b is similarly configured.

<About heating amount adjustment command means (rotary encoder)>
The heating cooker of this embodiment includes an angular velocity detection means (detecting an angular velocity ω of a rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) used in a heating amount adjustment command means (standard burner operation section) 21a which is a burner operation section. (Not shown).
Specifically, the control unit (operation control unit) calculates the angular velocity ω using the frequency f of the pulse signal output from the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command unit), and increases or decreases the absolute value of the angular velocity ω. Accordingly, the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is set.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the rotary encoder used as the heating amount adjustment command means 21a has a two-phase rotating operation in the forward direction (clockwise). One (A-phase) pulse signal of the other (B-phase) pulse signal is advanced in phase from the other (B-phase) pulse signal, and the other (B-phase) pulse signal is accompanied by a rotation operation in the reverse direction (counterclockwise). However, in a state where the phase is advanced from one (A phase) pulse signal, two-phase pulse signals having different phases are output in accordance with the rotation operation of the rotary encoder.

  In this embodiment, the rotary encoder is configured to generate 24 pulses in each of the A phase and the B phase when rotated once (360 degrees).

  In this embodiment, the amount of rotation operation of the rotary encoder is determined by the number of times the rising edge st (FIGS. 2A and 2B) of the pulse output from the A phase is detected in the control unit (operation control means). Is configured to be determined. For example, when the control unit (operation control means) detects the rising edge st of the pulse output from the A phase n times, it is determined that a command to change the heating power of the standard burner by n stages has been issued. The period T is from the rising edge st of the pulse to the rising edge st of the next pulse.

  In the present embodiment, the controller (operation control means) detects whether the B phase is high or low when the rising edge st of the pulse output from the A phase is detected, Depending on the state, the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) is a normal burner rotation command rotated in the forward direction (clockwise), or the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) is in the reverse direction (counterclockwise) ) To determine whether the command is to reduce the heating power of a standard burner that has been rotated.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, the control unit (operation control means) performs a rotary operation when the B phase is low when the rising edge st of the pulse output from the A phase is detected. It is determined that the encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) is a standard burner heating power increase command rotated in the forward direction (clockwise), and as shown in FIG. When the B phase when the rising edge st is detected is at a high level, it is a standard burner heating power reduction command in which the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) is rotated in the reverse direction (counterclockwise). to decide.

Further, the frequency f of the pulse signal output from the A phase of the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) is detected by the period T for detecting the rising edge st of the pulse output from the A phase and detecting the rising edge st. It is obtained by the following formula.
f = 1 / T

Therefore, the angular velocity ω can be obtained by the following equation using the period T of the pulse signal output from the A phase of the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means).
ω = (π / 12) / T

  <Relationship between absolute value of ω and period T of pulse signal, and number of stages capable of adjusting heating amount of standard burner>

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the display by the heating amount display means 23 in this embodiment is a combustion display lamp arranged in an arc shape at a predetermined interval above the standard burner operation section 21 (21a). (LEDs) L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 are displayed. In the following description, the combustion display lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 constituting the heating amount display means 23 are shown in FIG. As described above, it is assumed that the display is based on the light-emitting combustion display lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 that are linearly disposed above the standard burner operation unit 21 (21a).

  In the cooking device of this embodiment, when the absolute value of the angular velocity ω is equal to or greater than x (for example, π / 12 [rad / s]), the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is set to three, and the set maximum heating amount is set. The number of stages in which the heating amount of the standard burner including the minimum heating amount can be adjusted is set to five (see FIG. 5).

  In this case, the heating amount is adjusted to be one of the five heating levels of Q1, Q5, Q9, Q13, and Q17 out of the 17 heating levels of Q1 to Q17. This state corresponds to the minimum setting of the number of intermediate stages.

  Further, five combustion indicator lamps (LEDs) L1 to L5 are used as the heating amount display means 23 corresponding to each of the heating amounts (stages) Q1, Q5, Q9, Q13, and Q17 that can be adjusted when the intermediate stage number is set to the minimum. When the heating amount is adjusted to Q1, the combustion indicator lamp L1 is lit (FIGS. 5B and 1), and when the heating amount is adjusted to Q5, the combustion indicator lamp L2 is lit (FIG. 5). 5 (b) (2)), when the heating amount is adjusted to Q9, the combustion indicator lamp L3 is turned on (FIGS. 5B and 3), and although not particularly shown, the heating amount is further adjusted to Q13. When the combustion indicator lamp L4 is turned on, the combustion indicator lamp L5 is turned on when the heating amount is adjusted to Q17, indicating that the heating amount has been adjusted to any of Q1, Q5, Q9, Q13, and Q17. The

When the absolute value of the angular velocity ω is smaller than x (for example, π / 12 [rad / s]) and larger than y (for example, π / 24 [rad / s]), the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is set to seven. The number of stages in which the heating amount of the standard burner can be adjusted including the set maximum heating amount and the set minimum heating amount is set to 9 (see FIG. 6A).
In this case, the heating amount is adjusted to any one of the nine heating levels of Q1, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q9, Q11, Q13, Q15, and Q17 out of the 17 heating levels from Q1 to Q17.

  Of the nine heating amounts Q1, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q9, Q11, Q13, Q15, and Q17 that can be adjusted at this time, Q1, Q5, Q9, Q13, and Q17 at the time of setting the minimum number of intermediate stages, respectively. As the heating amount display means corresponding to the above, five combustion display lamps L1 to L5 are provided, but the number of intermediate heating amounts is set higher than the minimum setting of the intermediate number of steps, and the heating amount of the heating amount adjustment command means is set. The heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the adjustment command may not coincide with each stage of Q1, Q5, Q9, Q13, and Q17.

For example, when the heating amount is adjusted to Q3 based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means from the state where the heating amount is Q1 (FIGS. 6B and 1), on the side larger than the heating amount Q3. Heating amount adjustment command means by blinking of the combustion display lamp L2 corresponding to the heating amount Q5 of the latest heating means and blinking of the combustion display lamp L1 corresponding to the heating amount Q1 of the nearest heating means on the side smaller than the heating amount Q3 The stage of the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command, that is, Q3 is displayed (see FIGS. 6B and 2).
FIGS. 6B and 6C show the display state when the heating amount is adjusted to Q7 based on the same concept as in FIGS. 6B and 2B described above.

  On the other hand, even when the number of combustion display lamps is five and the number of stages in which the heating amount of the standard burner including the set maximum heating amount and the set minimum heating amount can be adjusted is set to nine, the heating amount is Q1. , Q3, Q5, Q7, Q9, Q11, Q13, Q15, Q17, when adjusted to the heating amount of Q1, Q5, Q9, Q13, Q17, five combustion displays corresponding to each heating amount One of the lamps L1 to L5 is turned on to display the adjusted heating amount.

  For example, when the heating amount is adjusted to Q1, L1 is lit as shown in FIGS. Although not shown in particular, when the heating amount is adjusted to Q5, the combustion indicator lamp L2 is turned on, and when the heating amount is adjusted to Q9, the combustion indicator lamp L3 is turned on, and the heating amount is adjusted to Q13. Sometimes the combustion display lamp L4 is turned on, and when the heating amount is adjusted to Q17, the combustion display lamp L5 is turned on to display the adjusted heating amount.

Further, when the absolute value of the angular velocity ω is y (for example, π / 24 [rad / s]) or less, the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is set to 15 stages, including the set maximum heating amount and the set minimum heating amount. The number of stages in which the heating amount of the standard burner can be adjusted is set to 17 (see FIG. 7).
In this case, the heating amount is adjusted to any one of all the heating amounts from Q1 to Q17 (see FIG. 7).

  In addition, among all the heating amounts Q1 to Q17 that can be adjusted at this time, five combustion display lamps L1 to L1 corresponding to Q1, Q5, Q9, Q13, and Q17 when the intermediate stage number is set to the minimum. Although provided with L5, the number of stages of the intermediate heating amount is set more than when the intermediate stage number is set to the minimum, and the heating amount of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means is Q1 to Q17. It may not match the level.

For example, when the heating amount is adjusted to Q3 based on the heating amount adjustment command of the heating amount adjustment command means from the state where the heating amount is Q1 (FIGS. 7B and 1), on the side larger than the heating amount Q3. Heating amount adjustment command means by blinking of the combustion display lamp L2 corresponding to the heating amount Q5 of the latest heating means and blinking of the combustion display lamp L1 corresponding to the heating amount Q1 of the nearest heating means on the side smaller than the heating amount Q3 The heating amount Q3 of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command is displayed (see FIGS. 7B and 7).
7 (b) and (3) are based on the same concept as in FIGS. 7 (b) and (2), and the heating means when the heating amount is adjusted to any one of Q6 to Q8. The amount of heating is illustrated.

  On the other hand, even if the number of stages in which the heating amount of the standard burner including the set maximum heating amount and the setting minimum heating amount is adjustable is set to 17, the heating amount is the heating amount of Q1 to Q17, When the heating amount is adjusted to five levels of Q1, Q5, Q9, Q13, and Q17, one of the combustion display lamps L1 to L5 corresponding to each heating amount is turned on to display the adjusted heating amount. .

  For example, when the heating amount is adjusted to Q1, L1 is lit as shown in FIGS. Although not particularly shown, L2 is lit when the heating amount is adjusted to Q5, L3 is lit when the heating amount is adjusted to Q9, and L4 is lit when the heating amount is adjusted to Q13. When the amount is adjusted to Q17, L5 lights up to display the adjusted heating amount.

  By configuring as in the above-described embodiment, intermediate heating is performed according to the magnitude of the absolute value of the angular velocity ω of the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) (burner operation unit 21a) that commands a heating amount adjustment command by rotating operation. It becomes possible to set the number of steps of the quantity.

  As a result, it is not necessary to provide a switch for changing the heating amount adjustment step number separately from the rotary encoder that constitutes the heating amount adjustment command means in order to change the heating amount adjustment step number, thereby suppressing an increase in manufacturing cost. It is possible to provide a heating cooker that is excellent in operability and that can change the number of adjustment steps of the heating amount by a rotating operation.

  Further, in the cooking device of this embodiment, when the absolute value of the angular velocity ω is increased, the number of steps of the intermediate heating amount is set smaller than before increasing the absolute value of the angular velocity ω, and when the absolute value of the angular velocity ω is decreased. Since the number of steps of the intermediate heating amount is set to be larger than before the absolute value of the angular velocity ω is reduced, the heating amount can be reduced by operating the heating amount adjustment command means (burner operation unit) later. Adjustment becomes possible and a cooking device with good operability can be provided.

  Further, by configuring the heating cooker according to this embodiment, the number of combustion display lamps constituting the heating amount display means 23 (that is, the number of stages of the heating amount display means) is set at the time when the intermediate stage number is set to the minimum. Since it is only necessary to correspond to the number of stages (in this embodiment, 5 stages), an increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  In addition, since fine adjustment of the thermal power is performed while observing the boiling state of the contents of the cooking container, it was adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means). The amount of heating of the heating means adjusted based on the flashing of the combustion indicator lamp corresponding to the heating amount of the nearest heating means on the side larger than the heating amount of the heating means and the heating amount adjustment command of the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) On the smaller side, the amount of heating of the heating means adjusted based on the heating amount adjustment command of the rotary encoder (heating amount adjustment command means) is displayed by blinking of the combustion display lamp corresponding to the heating amount of the latest heating means. However, usability is not particularly bad.

Corresponding to the number of stages, five combustion indicator lamps (LEDs) are provided as the heating amount display means for displaying the heating amount. However, the heating amount display means for displaying the heating amount has a stage number of intermediate heating amount. Combustion indicator lamps (LEDs) corresponding to the number of stages of the heating amount of the heating means including the set maximum heating amount, the set minimum heating amount, and the intermediate heating amount at the time when the maximum number of intermediate stages is set to the maximum are provided. A configuration is also possible.
In the above-described embodiment, the LED is used as the combustion display lamp. However, it is also possible to use other light emission type heating amount display means.
