Description

  The present invention relates to a stove having an automatic cooking function for automatically controlling heating in accordance with cooking.

  For stoves that heat cooking containers such as pots, automatic cooking functions that automatically control heating are being developed. For example, in a stove equipped with a menu including a plurality of cooking items, a cooking program is prepared for each dish, and when the user selects a dish from the menu, the cooking program corresponding to the dish is automatically selected. Thus, heating conditions such as heating power and heating time are set. However, if the amount of ingredients put into the cooking container is different, the appropriate heating conditions also change. Therefore, it has been proposed to change the heating condition in accordance with the actual amount of food by mounting a weight sensor on the stove and measuring the weight of the cooking container into which the food has been charged with the weight sensor ( For example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-69112 A

  However, in the stove that changes the heating conditions according to the amount of ingredients actually measured with the weight sensor as described above, it is necessary to incorporate the weight sensor in the part on which the cooking container is placed, so the device configuration is only complicated. However, when there are a plurality of ingredients, there is a problem that the amount of each ingredient cannot be correctly grasped due to simultaneous feeding or a mistake in the order of feeding, so that appropriate heating conditions cannot be set after all.

  The present invention has been made in response to the above-described problems in the prior art, and provides a stove capable of appropriately performing automatic cooking under heating conditions suitable for the amount of ingredients without mounting a weight sensor on the stove. With the goal.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the stove of the present invention employs the following configuration. That is,
In a stove with an automatic cooking function that automatically controls heating according to the dish,
A selection unit that allows the user to select one of the dishes from a menu including a plurality of cooking items;

An informing unit for informing the user of the amount of the food set in the setting unit;
And a heating control unit that controls heating according to the heating condition set by the setting unit.

  Here, examples of the “heating condition” of the present invention include a thermal power (amount of heat), a heating time, a target value of the temperature of the cooking container, and the like.

  In such a stove according to the present invention, the amount of food and heating conditions are set according to the parameter information input by the user, and the set amount of food is notified to the user. The For this reason, the user simply prepares the amount of the food according to the notification, and even if the stove is not equipped with a weight sensor etc., the heating is controlled under the heating conditions suitable for the amount of the food, so that the food is boiled or boiled. It is possible to execute appropriate automatic cooking without collapse.

  In the above-described stove according to the present invention, the storage unit for storing the parameter information input to the input unit is provided, and any dish is selected from the menu without input of new parameter information. Alternatively, the amount of food and the heating conditions may be set according to the parameter information stored in the storage unit.

  In this way, once the user enters the parameter information, the stored parameter information will be applied to all dishes in the menu, without the need to enter the parameter information. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of inputting parameter information for each dish in the menu and to improve the convenience for the user.

  In the stove of the present invention, the number of people who eat food may be input as parameter information.

  In this way, as the amount of ingredients changes due to changes in the number of people who eat dishes, the heating conditions are also changed, so it is possible to perform automatic cooking appropriately under the heating conditions that match the amount of ingredients. it can.

  Moreover, in such a stove according to the present invention, it is possible to input the intensity of seasoning suitable for a person who eats food as parameter information.

  In this way, the amount of seasoning contained in the ingredients is set according to the input seasoning intensity, so that the taste of the eater's seasoning can be reflected in the dish, and health Even if you want to make it lighter for reasons, you can easily handle it.

  When the gas shut-off valve 27 and the flow control valve 28 are opened, the fuel gas is supplied to the injection nozzle 26 through the gas flow path 25, and the fuel gas injected from the injection nozzle 26 is mixed while sucking the primary air for combustion. It flows into the pipe 21. Then, the fuel gas passing through the mixing tube 21 and the primary air are mixed, and the mixed gas is supplied to the mixing chamber 20a. When the mixed gas in the mixing chamber 20a is ejected from the plurality of flame ports 22a and a spark is blown by a spark plug (not shown), combustion of the mixed gas is started. Further, it is possible to change the heating power (heat amount) of the burner 5 by controlling the opening degree (fuel gas supply amount) of the flow control valve 28.

  Further, a supply passage 22h for secondary air necessary for combustion of the mixed gas is formed in the center of the burner head 22, and a temperature sensor 30 is inserted into the supply passage 22h. The upper part of the temperature sensor 30 protrudes from the central opening 23a of the burner cover 23. When the cooking container is placed on the Gotoku 6, the upper end of the temperature sensor 30 comes into contact with the bottom of the cooking container and the temperature of the cooking container (pot bottom) Temperature). The temperature sensor 30 is electrically connected to the controller 50, and the detected pot bottom temperature is input to the controller 50.

  Furthermore, the controller 50 is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display 11 of the top board 3 and the operation panel 12, and has a built-in memory 51 in which cooking programs for various dishes for automatic cooking are stored. Yes. The operation panel 12 has a “setting” key for displaying various setting items for automatic cooking on the liquid crystal display 11, and a “menu” key for displaying a menu including a plurality of cooking items on the liquid crystal display 11. , “Up” and “Down” keys for moving the selection and increasing / decreasing the input numerical value, “Determination” key for confirming the selection and input, and for returning the display items on the liquid crystal display 11 A “return” key is provided. In addition to various setting items and menus for automatic cooking, the liquid crystal display 11 can display the amount of ingredients, cooking procedures, and the like.

  In the gas stove 1 of the present embodiment, when the user operates the operation panel 12 to specify automatic cooking, the controller 50 reads the cooking program corresponding to the cooking from the memory 51 and displays the amount of ingredients and the cooking procedure on the liquid crystal display. The display is displayed on the vessel 11 and the heating is automatically controlled. Below, the process (automatic cooking control process) which the controller 50 performs in order to implement | achieve such automatic cooking is demonstrated.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the automatic cooking control process of the present embodiment. This process is executed, for example, when the user designates automatic cooking by operating the “menu” key on the operation panel 12. In the automatic cooking control process, first, it is determined whether or not a dish has been selected from the menu (STEP 110). In the gas stove 1 of the present embodiment, a menu including a plurality of cooking items (curry, roll cabbage, meat potato, etc.) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 11, and the user operates the “up” and “down” keys on the operation panel 12. The selection can be moved with and the selection can be confirmed by operating the “OK” key. The liquid crystal display 11 and the operation panel 12 of this embodiment correspond to the “selection unit” of the present invention. If no food is selected yet (STEP 110: no), the process waits until it is selected.

  Thereafter, when a dish is selected (STEP 110: yes), the cooking program for the selected dish is read from the memory 51 (STEP 112). The memory 51 stores a cooking program corresponding to each dish posted on the menu. In addition, the cooking program of this embodiment includes the ingredients necessary for cooking, the amount of ingredients for the standard number of people (three in this embodiment), the heating conditions (heating power, heating time, etc.) of the cooking container, cooking Includes procedures.

  When the cooking program is read, it is subsequently determined whether parameter information has been input (STEP 114). In the gas stove 1 of the present embodiment, the user inputs the number of people who eat a dish and the seasoning intensity (preference) suitable for the person who eats food as parameter information, and the input items are liquid crystal displays. 11 is displayed. For example, the number of persons is increased or decreased by operating the “up” and “down” keys on the operation panel 12 in the range of 1 to 6 persons, and is confirmed by operating the “decision” key. For the seasoning, the input is completed by selecting one from the three choices of light taste / normal / high taste by operating the “up” and “down” keys and confirming by the operation of the “decision” key. The liquid crystal display 11 and the operation panel 12 of this embodiment correspond to the “input unit” of the present invention. If no parameter information is input (STEP 114: no), the process waits until it is input.

  Thereafter, when parameter information is input (STEP 114: yes), the amount of ingredients necessary for cooking is set according to the input parameter information (STEP 120). The parameter information is not limited to the number of people and the intensity of seasoning, and may be sex, age group, etc. as long as the information is about the person who eats the food.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an example of setting the amount of food according to the parameter information. As described above, the cooking program corresponding to each dish in the menu includes the ingredients necessary for cooking (including the amount of cooking) and the amount of ingredients for the standard number of people (three in this embodiment). FIG. 4A illustrates the amount of food for the reference number of people.

  FIG. 4B shows an example in which “4 people” is input as the number of people who eat food in the parameter information for “Cook A” selected from the menu. In this case, by multiplying the amount of each ingredient including the seasoning by “four thirds”, the amount is converted from three to four.

  As for the seasoning density in the parameter information, a conversion formula for the amount of seasoning is provided. As illustrated in FIG. ”Is multiplied by 0.9 to reduce the standard value, and“ deep taste ”is multiplied by 1.1 to increase the standard value. FIG. 4C shows an example in which the input of seasoning is “deep taste”, and the amount of seasoning is converted to a deep taste by multiplying by 1.1.

  In addition, as described above, the parameter information may be gender, age group, etc. in addition to the number of people and seasoning. For example, in the case of gender, the amount of ingredients for males is greater than that for females. May be. In the case of an age group, the amount of food may be reduced as the age group becomes older.

  When the amount of food is set according to the parameter information in this way, the heating condition is set according to the parameter information in the automatic cooking control process of FIG. 3 (STEP 122). In addition, the controller 50 of the present embodiment that sets the amount of food and the heating condition corresponds to the “setting unit” of the present invention.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory view schematically showing an example in which the heating condition is set according to the parameter information. Each dish in the menu is composed of a plurality of (2 to 5) steps of cooking, and a heating mode is determined for each step according to the cooking stage. In the table of FIG. 5 (a), cooking with “first step”, “second step”, and “third step”, and cooking with the number of heating cooking steps “3” is shown. Illustrated. In each heating mode of the present embodiment, the upper limit allowed among the heating time, the target value (target temperature) of the pan bottom temperature detected by the temperature sensor 30, and the heating power of the plurality of stages (1 to 9) of the burner 5. Value (thermal power limit) is specified. Furthermore, these heating conditions (heating time, target temperature, thermal power limit) differ depending on how many people are cooking.

  In the graph of FIG. 5B, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents temperature, and the change of the heating mode in the dish for three people of FIG. 5A is shown. First, in the first step, a heating mode A for heating the cooking container on Gotoku 6 is defined, and the thermal power limit is “9”, which has the strongest thermal power. And the pan bottom temperature of a cooking vessel rises by combustion of the burner 5, and "10 minutes" is ensured as a heating time until it reaches "80 degree | times" of target temperature.

  Next, in the second step, a heating mode B for setting fire to the ingredients in the cooking container is defined. In the heating mode B, the heating power limit is lowered to “7” so that the pan bottom temperature of the cooking container maintains the target temperature “90 degrees”, and the heating time is continued until the heating time reaches “15 minutes”. Subsequently, in the third step, a heating mode C for soaking the ingredients in the cooking container is defined, and the thermal power limit is set to “3” in order to lower the target temperature of the pan bottom temperature to “80 degrees”. suppress. When the heating time of “20 minutes” has elapsed, the dish is completed.

  In addition, the amount of food varies depending on the number of people who eat the food (how many people are there), and the appropriate heating conditions change accordingly. Therefore, the heating time, the target temperature, and the heating power limit in the heating modes A to C are determined for each person, and FIG. 5 (a) shows that for 4 persons and 5 persons as compared with 3 persons. Illustrated. When heating mode A is compared, the thermal power limit is “9” in both cases, but the target temperature is “85 ° C.” for 4 persons and 5 persons, which is higher than that for 3 persons, and the heating time is 4 For people, it is extended to “12 minutes”, and for 5 people, it is extended to “14 minutes”.

  Next, when the heating mode B is compared, the target temperature is “90 degrees” in all cases, and the heating power limit is the same “7” for three persons, but the heating time is “7”. It will be extended to “18 minutes”. Further, for 5 persons, the heating power limit is increased to “8”, and the heating time is extended to “20 minutes”. Subsequently, when heating mode C is compared, for 4 and 5 persons, the heating power limit is increased to “4” and the target temperature is also increased to “85 degrees” for 3 persons. The heating time is also extended to “22 minutes” for four people, and to “25 minutes” for five people.

  In STEP 122 of FIG. 3, heating conditions (heating time of heating modes A to C, target temperature, thermal power limit) are set according to the number of people input as parameter information. In the present embodiment, the heating conditions are set according to the number of people, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when an age group is input as parameter information, the ingredients are boiled softly as the age group becomes older. Therefore, the heating time may be lengthened.

  Once the heating conditions are set in this way, the amount of each ingredient set in STEP 120 (see FIG. 4) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 11 and the cooking procedure for the selected dish is displayed on the liquid crystal display 11. . The cooking procedure includes how to cut the ingredients, the timing at which the ingredients are put into the cooking container, and the like. In addition, the liquid crystal display 11 of a present Example is corresponded to the "notification part" of this invention. However, the method of notifying the user of the amount of ingredients and the cooking procedure is not limited to the display on the liquid crystal display 11, and may be notified by outputting sound by installing a speaker. In addition, the notification of the timing at which the ingredients are added may be performed when the timing at which the ingredients are added comes.

  When the amount of ingredients and the cooking procedure are displayed on the liquid crystal display 11, it is determined whether or not an ignition operation has been performed by the user (STEP 126). In the gas stove 1 of the present embodiment, when the user prepares food according to the display on the liquid crystal display 11 and then performs an ignition operation with the burner operation button 8, heating control of the burner 5 is started by automatic cooking. ing. And when ignition operation is not performed (STEP126: no), it waits until ignition operation is performed.

  Thereafter, when the ignition operation is performed by the user (STEP 126: yes), the heating by the burner 5 is controlled in accordance with the heating condition set in STEP 122 (STEP 128). That is, while adjusting the heating power of the burner 5 by changing the opening degree of the flow rate adjusting valve 28, the temperature sensor 30 detects the pan bottom temperature of the cooking vessel, and when the heating time has elapsed, the heating mode is switched. The controller 50 of this embodiment that controls heating by the burner 5 corresponds to the “heating controller” of the present invention.

  During automatic cooking, an abnormality is monitored, and it is determined whether or not an abnormality has occurred (STEP 130). For example, when the pan bottom temperature of the cooking container exceeds the upper limit temperature higher than the target temperature (there may be scorching), or when the pan bottom temperature does not reach the target temperature within the heating time (food that has been added) If the cooking container is removed from the top of Gotoku 6 and the temperature sensor 30 stops contacting, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred. And when abnormality generate | occur | produces (STEP130: yes), automatic cooking is stopped (STEP132). In STEP 132, an error is notified by the liquid crystal display 11 or the like, or a process of extinguishing the burner 5 by stopping the supply of fuel gas is performed. When automatic cooking is stopped in this way, the automatic cooking control process of FIG. 3 is terminated.

  On the other hand, if no abnormality has occurred (STEP 130: no), it is determined whether or not the automatic cooking has been completed after the heating time of the final step has elapsed (STEP 134). And when automatic cooking is not yet completed (STEP134: no), it returns to STEP128 and repeats the process which controls the heating by the burner 5 according to the set heating conditions. When automatic cooking is completed while the process is repeated while monitoring the abnormality in this manner (STEP 134: yes), the automatic cooking control process of FIG. 3 is terminated.

  As described above, in the gas stove 1 of the present embodiment, the amount of food and the heating condition of the cooking container are set according to the parameter information input by the user, and the set amount of food is stored in the liquid crystal display 11. It is supposed to be displayed. Accordingly, the user simply prepares the amount of the food according to the display on the liquid crystal display 11 and puts it into the cooking container. Even if the gas stove 1 is not equipped with a weight sensor or the like, the heating conditions according to the amount of the food Thus, it is possible to control the combustion of the burner 5 and execute appropriate automatic cooking without raw cooking or cooking.

  In particular, in the gas stove 1 of the present embodiment, the number of people who eat food is input as parameter information, and the heating conditions are changed as the amount of ingredients changes due to the change in the number of people. Automatic cooking can be appropriately performed under heating conditions suitable for the amount of ingredients.

  Further, in the gas stove 1 of the present embodiment, as the parameter information, the seasoning density suitable for the person who eats the dish is input, and the amount of the seasoning is set according to the input seasoning density. Therefore, the taste preference of the eater can be reflected in the dish, and it is possible to easily cope with the case where it is desired to make the taste light for health reasons.

  The gas stove 1 of the present embodiment described above includes the following modifications. In the following, modifications will be described focusing on differences from the above-described embodiment. In the description of the modified example, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a modified automatic cooking control process. In the automatic cooking control process of the modified example, first, it is determined whether or not parameter information is stored (STEP 100). In the gas stove 1 of the modified example, parameter information input by the user can be stored in the memory 51. If parameter information is not stored in the memory 51 (STEP 100: no), an initial setting process is executed (STEP 102).

  In the initial setting process, as the parameter information, the user inputs the number of people who eat a dish and the seasoning intensity (preference) suitable for the person who eats the dish. Enter in the range, and enter the seasoning from the three choices of light taste / normal / strong taste. Then, the input parameter information is stored in the memory 51 (STEP 104). The memory 51 of this embodiment corresponds to a “storage unit” of the present invention.

  On the other hand, if the parameter information has already been stored in the memory 51 in the determination of STEP 100 (STEP 100: yes), the processing of STEPs 102 to 104 is omitted and whether or not a dish is selected from the menu. (STEP 110), and if not yet selected (STEP 110: no), it waits until it is selected.

  Thereafter, when a dish is selected (STEP 110: yes), the cooking program for the selected dish is read from the memory 51 (STEP 112), and then it is determined whether or not the parameter information has been changed (STEP 116). In the gas stove 1 of the modified example, there is an opportunity for inputting parameter information other than the above-described initial setting process (STEP 102). For example, the input item is input to the liquid crystal display 11 by operating the “setting” key of the operation panel 12. You can display and change the parameter information. If the parameter information is changed (STEP 116: yes), the storage of the parameter information in the memory 51 is updated (STEP 118).

  On the other hand, if the parameter information has not been changed (STEP 116: no), the processing of STEP 118 is omitted, and the amount of food is set according to the parameter information stored in the memory 51 (STEP 120). Heating conditions are set according to the parameter information stored in the memory 51 (STEP 122). After the set amount of ingredients and the cooking procedure for the selected dish are displayed on the liquid crystal display 11 (STEP 124), it is determined whether or not an ignition operation has been performed by the user (STEP 126). When the operation is not performed (STEP 126: no), the process waits until the ignition operation is performed.

  Thereafter, when the ignition operation is performed (STEP 126: yes), the heating by the burner 5 is controlled according to the heating condition set in STEP 122 (STEP 128). Further, it is determined whether or not an abnormality has occurred (STEP 130). If an abnormality has occurred (STEP 130: yes), automatic cooking is stopped (STEP 132), and the automatic cooking control process of FIG. 6 is terminated.

  On the other hand, if no abnormality has occurred (STEP 130: no), it is determined whether or not automatic cooking has been completed (STEP 134). If automatic cooking has not yet been completed (STEP 134: no), It returns to STEP128 and repeats the process which controls the heating by the burner 5 according to the set heating conditions. If automatic cooking is completed while the process is repeated while monitoring the abnormality in this manner (STEP 134: yes), the automatic cooking control process of FIG. 6 is terminated.

  As described above, in the gas stove 1 of the modified example, when the user inputs parameter information in the initial setting process, the parameter information is stored in the memory 51, and thereafter the stored parameter information is stored in all the menus in the menu. Applicable to cooking, the amount of ingredients and heating conditions are set. Thereby, since it is possible to save the trouble of inputting the parameter information for each dish in the menu, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user.

  In addition, in the gas stove 1 of the modified example, there is an opportunity to change the parameter information even after the user inputs the parameter information in the initial setting process. It is easy, and it becomes possible to perform automatic cooking appropriately under heating conditions suitable for the amount of ingredients.

  Although the gas stove 1 of the present embodiment and the modification has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the modification, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof. is there.

  For example, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, the present invention is applied to automatic cooking in which heating by the burner 5 is automatically controlled. However, it is also possible to apply to automatic cooking in which heating by the grill is automatically controlled. .

  In the above-described embodiments and modifications, the gas stove 1 that generates heat by burning the fuel gas has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and an electromagnetic induction heating stove (so-called IH stove) including a magnetic force generating coil is used. The present invention can also be applied to a stove that generates heat electrically. In this case, what is necessary is just to adjust calorie | heat amount by controlling the electric current value which supplies with electricity to a coil.

  In the above-described embodiment, the amount of food and the cooking procedure are displayed on the liquid crystal display 11 on the top board 3. However, the display method is not limited to this.
