  Conventionally, as seen in, for example, Patent Document 1, when a cooking device such as a stove and moving images around it are photographed and occurrence of a predetermined type of event such as abnormality is detected, the occurrence of the event By sending notification information including a video near the time to an external terminal such as a smartphone of a related person such as a family member of the cooking device via a server, the related person can confirm the user's action mode and the like. Such a system is known.

JP 2017-9206 A

  By the way, when a user such as an elderly person cooks by using a heating cooker, even if the user's behavior mode is normal, the user's behavior is slow, slow movement, misunderstanding of the cooking procedure, etc. As a result, a situation in which the continuous operation time of the heat generating portion of the heating cooker or the heating time of the cooked product tends to be too long is likely to occur. As a result, the situation where the abnormality detection function of the cooking device is automatically activated is likely to occur.

  However, in the conventional system as shown in Patent Document 1, when the occurrence of an event such as an abnormality of the heating cooker is detected, the occurrence of the event is notified to the user concerned regardless of the user's behavior. Is done. Therefore, even if the user's behavior mode is normal, even when the occurrence of an abnormality of the cooking device is detected simply due to the user's behavior sluggishness or the like, the notification is made to related parties. . For this reason, the said notification to the person concerned of the user of a heating cooker tends to be performed more frequently than necessary.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a background, and when an abnormality occurs in a heating cooker, it is highly necessary to notify relevant parties such as the family of the user of the heating cooker. It aims at providing the cooking-by-heating machine which can be performed limited to.

In order to achieve the above object, the heating cooker according to the first aspect of the present invention has a heat generating part, an abnormality detecting part for detecting occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality during operation of the heat generating part, and a user relationship A cooking device comprising an information transmission unit for transmitting notification information receivable by an external terminal used by a person,
A first timekeeping unit for measuring a non-operation time that is a duration time during which the heating cooker is not operated during the operation of the heating unit;
The information transmission unit, when the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, transmitting the first notification information that can be received by the external terminal regarding the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality; The first execution is performed as a necessary condition that the non-operation time before abnormality, which is the non-operation time measured by the first timing unit before the occurrence of the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, is a time equal to or greater than the A-th predetermined time. A notification information transmission unit is included (first invention).

  In addition, in this invention (1st-9th invention), a "user" means the user of the heating cooker of this invention. In addition, an arbitrary amount X such as the no-operation time before abnormality is Y or more means that X ≧ Y or X> Y. For example, in the first invention, “the pre-abnormality no-operation time is a time equal to or greater than the A-th predetermined time” means that the pre-abnormal no-operation time ≧ the A-th predetermined time or > It means the Ath predetermined time. In the present invention, the “operation of the cooking device” is not limited to the operation of the components of the cooking device, but the operation of the object to be heated (for example, the cooking container) that is heated by the operation of the heating portion of the cooking device. And the like, and the operation of putting ingredients into the cooking container.

  According to the first aspect, the first notification information transmission unit of the information transmission unit transmits the first notification information when the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected. It is executed as a necessary condition that the operation time is a time equal to or longer than the Ath predetermined time.

  Here, the no-operation time before the abnormality becomes a time equal to or longer than the Ath predetermined time because the predetermined type of abnormality occurs in a state where the cooking device is not operated for a long time longer than the Ath predetermined time. This is the case. For this reason, there is a high possibility that the user has forgotten that the user is operating the heating cooker (that is, operating the heating unit).

  And according to 1st invention, in such a case, the said 1st notification information can be transmitted. Eventually, a person concerned of the user forgets that the user is operating the cooking device over a relatively long time by receiving the first notification information at his / her external terminal. It can be recognized that an abnormality has occurred in the cooking device. Thereby, the concerned person is alerted to the user, and can take corresponding processing such as confirming the state of the user. In addition, for example, when the pre-abnormal no-operation time is a time equal to or longer than the A-th predetermined time, if the first notification information is promptly transmitted, the user's attention to the user can be alerted early. Is possible.

  On the other hand, if the pre-abnormality no-operation time is not a time equal to or longer than the A-th predetermined time, the user is operating the heating cooker at a relatively close time before the detection of the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality. It can be considered that a predetermined type of abnormality has occurred in the cooking device in a situation where the user recognizes that the cooking device is operating normally. According to the first invention, in such a case, since the transmission of the first notification information is not performed, it is possible to prevent the frequency of transmission of the first notification information from being excessively increased.

  Therefore, according to the first invention, when an abnormality occurs in the heating cooker, notification to related parties such as the family of the user of the heating cooker is limited to a highly necessary situation. can do.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, in one aspect of the first notification information transmitting unit of the information transmitting unit, the first operation is performed under the necessary and sufficient condition that the pre-abnormality no-operation time is equal to or longer than the A-th predetermined time. It may be configured to send notification information.

  In addition, in the first invention, the first notification information transmitting unit is configured to detect the abnormality of the predetermined type by the abnormality detecting unit in a situation where the no-operation time before abnormality is equal to or longer than the A predetermined time. It is also possible to adopt an aspect in which the first notification information is configured to be transmitted when the occurrence is detected at a frequency equal to or more than the first predetermined number of times within the first predetermined period ( Second invention).

  According to this, when the occurrence frequency of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit in a situation where the no-operation time before abnormality is equal to or longer than the A-th predetermined time In addition, the first notification information is transmitted.

  Therefore, the first notification information can be transmitted in a situation where it is relatively frequent that the user forgets to operate the cooking device. As a result, the concerned person's attention with respect to a user can be alerted at an appropriate timing.

  In the first aspect of the invention, the first notification information transmitting unit may generate the predetermined type of abnormality by the abnormality detecting unit in a situation where the pre-abnormal operation time is equal to or longer than the A-th predetermined time. Is detected at a frequency equal to or greater than the first predetermined number of times within the first predetermined period, or the no-operation time before abnormality is equal to or longer than the B predetermined time longer than the A predetermined time. It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the first notification information is transmitted when the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit in a situation where it is time (first) 3 invention).

  According to this, in the situation where the user has forgotten the operation of the cooking device and the operating state of the heat generating portion is left for an excessively long time of the B-th predetermined time or more, the first notification is promptly made. Information can be sent. As a result, the concerned person's attention to a user can be alerted at an early stage.

  Further, even when the pre-abnormal no-operation time has not reached the time B or longer, the predetermined no-operation time is in a situation where the pre-abnormal no-operation time is a relatively long time that is the A or more predetermined time. When the frequency of occurrence of the type of abnormality is detected is relatively high, the first notification information can be transmitted. As a result, the concerned person's attention with respect to a user can be alerted at an appropriate timing.

  In the first to third aspects of the invention, when the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, the heating unit is forcibly brought into an abnormally stopped state until a predetermined abnormality handling operation is performed thereafter. A second abnormality control unit that holds the abnormality-free operation time, which is a duration in a state where the abnormality-response operation is not performed after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit; A timing unit, and the information transmitting unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality by the abnormality detection unit in a state where the necessary condition related to the no-operation time before abnormality is not satisfied. The transmission of the second notification information that can be received by the external terminal regarding the occurrence of the type of abnormality is that the total time of the no-operation time before the abnormality and the no-operation time after the abnormality is equal to or greater than a predetermined C-th predetermined time about It is also possible to adopt a manner that is configured to further include a second notification information transmitting unit that executes as a prerequisite (fourth invention). Note that the “abnormally stopped state” means an automatically stopped state of the heat generating portion due to the occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality. Further, the “abnormality handling operation” means an operation for returning the heat generating portion in an abnormally stopped state to a state where it can be normally operated.

  According to this, the second notification information transmission unit of the information transmission unit has the necessary condition (the necessary condition for the first notification information transmission unit to transmit the first notification information) related to the no-operation time before abnormality. The second notification information is transmitted after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected even if the state is not satisfied, that is, even if the no-operation time before abnormality is shorter than the A-th predetermined time. The transmission is performed as a necessary condition that the total time of the no-operation time before the abnormality and the no-operation time after the abnormality is equal to or greater than the C-th predetermined time.

  Here, even if the no-operation time before the abnormality is shorter than the A-th predetermined time, in a situation where the total time is a time longer than the C-th predetermined time, the user is Possibility of forgetting that the operation of the heating cooker (operation of the heat generating part) has been performed since the time (relatively close to the time of occurrence) and not recognizing the occurrence of the abnormality of the heating cooker over a relatively long time Is expensive. And according to 4th invention, in such a case, the said 2nd notification information can be transmitted.

  As a result, even if the user's no operation time before the abnormality is short, the user concerned can cook from a time relatively close to the occurrence of the abnormality before the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality (for example, immediately before the occurrence of the abnormality). If you forget that you were operating the instrument and do not recognize the occurrence of the abnormality over a relatively long period of time, you will be alerted by receiving the second notification information at your external terminal. Then, it is possible to take corresponding processing such as confirming the state of the user.

  On the other hand, if the total time is not equal to or longer than the C-th predetermined time, the user performs the abnormality handling operation at a relatively early time after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected. It can be considered that the occurrence of abnormality of the cooking device is recognized normally. According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in such a case, the second notification information is not transmitted, so that it is possible to prevent the frequency of the second notification information from being excessively increased.

  In the fourth aspect of the present invention, in one aspect of the second notification information transmission unit, after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, the total time is equal to or greater than the C predetermined time. The second notification information may be transmitted on the condition that it is necessary and sufficient.

  In addition, in the fourth invention, the second notification information transmission unit is configured to detect the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality by the abnormality detection unit in a state where the necessary condition relating to the no-operation time before abnormality is not satisfied. The second notification information is transmitted when the total time is equal to or more than the C predetermined time and occurs at a frequency equal to or more than a second predetermined number of times within a second predetermined period. It is also possible to adopt a mode of being (the fifth invention).

  Accordingly, after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected, the second notification information is transmitted when the frequency that the total time is equal to or longer than the C-th predetermined time is relatively high.

  Therefore, even if the pre-abnormal operation time is short, the user has forgotten that the cooking device has been operated and does not recognize the occurrence of the cooking device over a long period of time (as a result) , The second notification in a situation where the total time becomes a longer time than the C-th predetermined time) (a situation that occurs more frequently than the second predetermined number of times within the second predetermined period). Information can be sent. As a result, the concerned person's attention with respect to a user can be alerted at an appropriate timing.

  Further, in the fourth invention, after the second notification information transmitting unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality by the abnormality detection unit in a state where the necessary condition relating to the no-operation time before abnormality is not satisfied, If the total time is equal to or greater than the C predetermined time, or if the total time occurs more frequently than the second predetermined number of times within a second predetermined period, or the total time is longer than the C predetermined time. D It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the second notification information is transmitted when the time is equal to or longer than a predetermined time (sixth invention).

  According to this, the user forgets that he / she was operating the heating cooker, and does not recognize the occurrence of the abnormality of the heating cooker for an excessively long time (as a result, the total time is the D predetermined number). In a situation where the time is excessively longer than the time), the second notification information can be promptly transmitted. As a result, the concerned person's attention to a user can be alerted at an early stage.

  Further, even when the total time does not reach the time equal to or longer than the D-th predetermined time, the total time is relatively frequently generated to be a relatively long time equal to or longer than the C-th predetermined time (second time). The second notification information can be transmitted in a situation that occurs at a frequency equal to or more than the second predetermined number of times within a predetermined period. As a result, the concerned person's attention with respect to a user can be alerted at an appropriate timing.

The cooking device according to the second aspect of the present invention includes a heat generating portion, an abnormality detecting portion that detects occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality during operation of the heat generating portion, and the predetermined type of abnormality by the abnormality detecting portion. Is detected by an abnormality handling control unit that forcibly holds the heat generating unit in an abnormally stopped state until a predetermined abnormality handling operation is performed, and an external terminal used by a user concerned. A cooking device comprising an information transmission unit for transmitting possible notification information,
A first timing unit that counts a non-operation time that is a duration time during which the heating cooker is not operated during the operation of the heating unit;
A second timing unit that counts a no-operation time after abnormality that is a duration in a state where the abnormality handling operation is not performed after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit;
The information transmission unit transmits abnormality-related notification information that is notification information that can be received by the external terminal regarding the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality when the abnormality detection unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality. Before the detection of the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, the no-operation time before the abnormality, which is the non-operation time measured by the first timing unit, and the second after the detection of the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality. The present invention is characterized in that it is configured to execute as a necessary condition that the total time with the post-abnormal no-operation time measured by the time measuring unit is a time equal to or longer than the C-th predetermined time (seventh invention). In the seventh aspect of the invention, the total time being the time equal to or longer than the C predetermined time includes the case where the pre-abnormal operation time is equal to or longer than the C predetermined time.

  According to the seventh aspect of the invention, the information transmission unit transmits the abnormality-related notification information after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected, so that the total time is equal to or more than a C predetermined time. Execute as a prerequisite. For this reason, in a situation where the user forgets that the cooking device is operating for a relatively long time (a situation where the pre-abnormal operation time is equal to or longer than the C predetermined time), When an abnormality occurs, abnormality-related information can be transmitted in the same manner as when the first notification information is transmitted in the first invention. In addition, even if the pre-abnormal no-operation time is shorter than the C-th predetermined time, the second notification information is transmitted according to the fourth invention when the total time is longer than the C-th predetermined time. As in the case, abnormality related information can be transmitted.

  For this reason, when a predetermined type of abnormality occurs in the cooking device in a situation where the user forgets that the user is operating the cooking device over a relatively long time, or Forgetting that the user has been operating the heating cooker from a time relatively close to the time of occurrence of the abnormality (for example, immediately before the occurrence of the abnormality) before the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, In the case of not recognizing for a long time, the user is alerted by receiving the abnormality-related notification information at his / her external terminal, and corresponding processing such as checking the state of the user can be taken.

  On the other hand, if the total time is not a time equal to or longer than the C-th predetermined time, the cooking device has not been operated for a long time before the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, and the predetermined time is not exceeded. Since the abnormality handling operation is performed relatively early after the occurrence of the type of abnormality, it can be considered that the user has normally recognized the execution of the operation of the heating cooker and the occurrence of the abnormality. In this case, since the abnormality-related notification information is not transmitted, it is possible to prevent the frequency of the abnormality-related notification information from being excessively increased.

  Therefore, according to the seventh invention, when an abnormality occurs in the heating cooker, notification to related parties such as the family of the user of the heating cooker is performed only in a highly necessary situation. can do.

  In the seventh aspect of the invention, as one aspect thereof, after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, the total transmission time is equal to or greater than the C predetermined time. If necessary, the abnormality-related notification information may be transmitted.

  In addition, in the seventh aspect of the invention, after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, the total time is equal to or more than the C predetermined time. It is also possible to adopt an aspect in which the abnormality-related notification information is transmitted when it occurs at a frequency of a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period (eighth invention).

  In the seventh aspect of the invention, the information transmission unit may be configured such that after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, the total time is equal to or more than the C predetermined time. The abnormality-related notification information is transmitted when it occurs at a frequency more than a predetermined number of times within a period, or when the total time reaches a D-th predetermined time or longer than the C-th predetermined time. It is also possible to adopt an aspect of being configured (9th invention).

  According to these 8th invention or 9th invention, there can exist an effect similar to the said 5th invention or 6th invention, respectively.

After the detection of the occurrence of abnormality by the function of the first timing unit 22 that counts the operation time Ta) and the abnormality detection unit 21, the operation control unit 25 forcibly holds the fire extinguishing state (operation stop state). The function as the second time measuring unit 23 that measures the no-operation time Tb after abnormality, which is the duration of the state in which the predetermined abnormality handling operation for restarting the combustion operation of the burner 3 is not performed, and notification regarding the abnormality that has occurred It is determined whether or not information should be notified to the user's parties, and when it is determined to notify, predetermined notification information that can be received by the external terminal 40 of the parties is addressed to the external terminal 40 (or the And a function as an information transmission processing unit 24 that operates the communication device 30 so that the external terminal 40 transmits the data to a communicable server.

  In the present embodiment, the information transmission processing unit 24 and the communication device 30 of the control device 20 constitute an information transmission unit in the present invention.

  In this embodiment, the abnormality detected by the abnormality detection unit 21 is caused by forgetting to turn off or the like, and the continuous operation time (continuation time of combustion operation) of any burner 3 is a predetermined upper limit time. (A burner 3L, 3R, 3B, for example, 2 hours, a grill burner, for example, 15 minutes) Detecting the temperature of the object to be heated in any of the stove burners 3R, 3L, 3B or the temperature inside the grill cabinet 4 due to abnormalities, cooking of the cooking container, burning of the cooked food, etc. An abnormality such as an excessive temperature rise is included. These abnormalities are basically abnormalities that occur or are likely to occur when the duration of the continuous combustion operation of the burner 3 becomes longer.

  The abnormality to be detected by the abnormality detection unit 21 is not limited to the abnormality described above, and the cooking device 1 is left after the heating cooking device 1 is started (after the combustion operation of any burner 3 is started). It may also include matters that arise from this. For example, when the heating cooker 1 can perform an automatic cooking operation or a timer operation, after the combustion operation of the burner 3 by the automatic cooking operation or the timer operation is automatically stopped, a predetermined time or more, The matter that the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3 is not pressed (fire extinguishing operation) can also be included in the abnormality detected by the abnormality detection unit 21.

  Further, the operation control unit 25 has a function as an abnormality response control unit in the present invention. When the abnormality detection unit 21 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, the fuel to the burner 3 related to the abnormality that has occurred. The supply is forcibly cut off to keep the burner 3 in a fire extinguisher state. This fire extinguishing state corresponds to the abnormal stop state in the present invention. In the present embodiment, the abnormality canceling operation is a fire extinguishing operation for the burner 3 that is forced to be extinguished in response to detection of the occurrence of an abnormality (pressing operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3), or The power switch 8 is turned off (operation for turning off the power of the heating cooker 1).

  In addition, the notification information that the information transmission processing unit 24 transmits from the communication device 30 includes first notification information that determines whether transmission is possible according to the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta, and the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta. There is second notification information in which whether or not transmission is possible is determined according to the total time (= Ta + Tb) with the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality. The information transmission processing unit 24 includes a first notification information transmitting unit 24a that executes processing related to transmission of the first notification information, and a second notification information transmitting unit 24b that executes processing related to transmission of the second notification information. including.

  Next, the operation | movement regarding abnormality generation of the heating cooker 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. The control device 20 executes the processing shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 and 4 in a state where the power of the heating cooker 1 is turned on (the power switch 8 is turned on).

  In STEP 1, the control device 20 monitors whether or not any of the burners 3 has been ignited (the operation button 7 is pressed corresponding to the burner 3). When any one of the burners 3 is ignited (when the determination result in STEP 1 becomes affirmative), the control device 20 executes the processes in STEP 2 to 7 using the first time counting unit 22. In addition, the control device 20 executes an ignition process for igniting the burner 3 on which the ignition operation has been performed, in addition to executing the process of the first time measuring unit 22, and starts the combustion operation of the burner 3.

  In STEP 2, the first time measuring unit 22 starts measuring the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta. Furthermore, the first time measurement unit 22 monitors whether or not any operation of the cooking device 1 by the user has been performed in STEP 3 after the start of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta.

  More specifically, in STEP 3, for example, an ignition operation of another burner 3 in the fire extinguishing state (a pressing operation of the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3), a thermal power adjustment operation (the burner 3) of the burner 3 during the combustion operation, 3), the fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3 during the combustion operation (the pressing operation of the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3), the operation of the operation units 10 and 11, and the cooking container The input operation of the material is the operation to be monitored, and it is monitored whether any of these operations has been performed.

  In this case, the operation of inputting the ingredients into the cooking container is detected based on, for example, a rapid decrease in the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 12 corresponding to the stove burner 3L, 3R, or 3B during the combustion operation. obtain. In addition, for example, when the heating cooker 1 is provided with a sensor that can detect the cooking container placed on each of the stove burners 3L, 3R, 3B, based on the output of the sensor, Since a movement operation (operation such as a pan shake) can be detected, the movement operation of the cooking container can be included in the operation to be monitored. For example, when the cooking device 1 includes a sensor that can detect the opening / closing of the grill door 9, the opening / closing operation of the grill door 9 can be included in the operation to be monitored.

  When these monitoring target operations are not performed, the determination result of STEP 3 is negative. In this case, the first time counting unit 22 further determines whether or not the occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality (abnormality to be detected) has been detected by the abnormality detection unit 21 in STEP 6 as an output of the abnormality detection unit 21. If the determination result is negative, the processing from STEP 3 is repeated. In this case, the first time measurement unit 22 advances the time measurement of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality while repeatedly performing the determination processes of STEPs 3 and 6.

  When any one of the operations to be monitored is performed in the state in which the determination processes in STEPs 3 and 6 are repeated in this manner (the progressing state of counting the pre-abnormal operation time Ta), the operation of STEP 3 is performed. The judgment result is positive. In this case, the first time measuring unit 22 determines whether or not all the burners 3 are in the fire extinguishing state in STEP4.

  Here, if the fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3 is performed in STEP3 in the combustion operation state of only one of the burners 3, the determination result in STEP4 becomes affirmative. In this case, the control device 20 ends the process of the first time measuring unit 22 and restarts the process from STEP1.

  In STEP 4, when the combustion operation of one or more burners 3 continues, the determination result in STEP 4 becomes negative. In this case, the first time measuring unit 22 resets the pre-abnormal operation time Ta (initialized to zero) in STEP 5 and then executes the processing from STEP 2 again. As a result, the timing of the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta (time counting from zero) is restarted.

  On the other hand, in the state where the determination processes of STEPs 3 and 6 are repeated as described above (the progressing state of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta), the abnormality detection unit 21 generates a predetermined type of abnormality (detection target abnormality). Is detected, the determination result in STEP 6 becomes affirmative.

  In this case, the first time measuring unit 22 finishes counting the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta in STEP 7 (holds the time value of the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta). When the abnormality detection unit 21 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, the control device 20 causes the operation control unit 25 to shut off the fuel supply to the burner 3 related to the generated abnormality as described above. The burner 3 is forced to extinguish.

  As described above, during the combustion operation of any burner 3, the first time measuring unit 22 operates the heating cooker 1 (the monitoring target) until the abnormality detection unit 21 detects the occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality. No pre-abnormal operation time Ta, which is the duration of the state in which no operation is performed, is counted.

  Next, the control device 20 executes the processing of STEPs 8 to 13 by the first notification information transmission unit 24 a of the information transmission processing unit 24.

  In STEP 8, the first notification information transmission unit 24a uses the final time measured value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta (the time measured value at the end of time measurement in STEP 7) as the first predetermined time T1 (for example, 0.5 hours). By comparison, it is determined whether or not the final measured value of the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta is equal to or longer than the first predetermined time T1. The first predetermined time T1 corresponds to the A predetermined time in the present invention.

  When the determination result in STEP 8 is affirmative (when Ta ≧ T1), the first notification information transmission unit 24a further determines the final time measurement value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality in STEP 9 Compared with the predetermined time T2, it is determined whether or not the measured value of the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta is equal to or longer than the second predetermined time T2. The second predetermined time T2 corresponds to the B predetermined time in the present invention, and is longer than the first predetermined time T1 in STEP 9 (for example, 1 hour).

  When the determination result in STEP 10 is affirmative, this is a case where the final measured value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta is excessively long, so that the user operates the cooking device 1 (combustion of any burner 3). It is likely that you have forgotten that you are driving.

  Therefore, in this case, the first notification information transmission unit 24a assumes that the first notification information related to the occurrence of abnormality should be notified to the user concerned in STEP 10, and the first notification information is transmitted from the communication device 30 to the relationship. The communication device 30 is operated so as to transmit to the external terminal 40 of the person (or to the server). The first notification information transmitted in this case indicates, for example, information indicating the type of abnormality that has occurred and the date and time of occurrence of the abnormality, and the final timekeeping value (or degree of length) of the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality. Information, information for calling attention to the user, and the like.

  The first notification information transmitted in this way is received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned. At this time, it is highly likely that the concerned person continues the operation while forgetting that the user is operating the cooking device 1 for an excessively long time from the received first notification information. Can be recognized. As a result, it is possible to quickly take countermeasures such as checking the state of the user.

  When the determination result in STEP 10 is negative, the final time-measured value of the no-operation time before abnormality Ta is relatively long (to the extent that attention is required) (T1 <Ta <T2). Is the case. In this case, the first notification information transmission unit 24a stores the abnormality information indicating the type of abnormality that has occurred, the date and time of occurrence of the abnormality, and the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality in STEP11.

  Furthermore, in STEP 12, the information transmission processing unit 24 determines that the final time measured value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality is long enough to be warranted within a predetermined period before the current time (for example, within a period of 7 days). In a situation where T1 <Ta <T2, the number Na of occurrences of abnormality of the cooking device 1 (hereinafter referred to as the first number Na) is calculated.

  Then, in STEP 13, the first notification information transmitting unit 24a compares the first number Na with the predetermined value N1, and whether or not the first number Na has reached the predetermined value N1 (whether Na ≧ N1 is satisfied). Or). When the determination result in STEP 13 is affirmative (when Na ≧ N1), the final time-measured value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality is as long as necessary (T1 <Ta <T2). It can be considered that the frequency of occurrence of abnormality in the heating cooker 1 is relatively high. For this reason, there exists a possibility that it may be in the state which tends to forget that the user is operating the cooking-by-heating machine 1. FIG.

  Therefore, when the determination result of STEP 13 is affirmative, the first notification information transmitting unit 24a transmits the first notification information regarding the occurrence of abnormality in STEP 10 as in the case where the determination result of STEP 9 is affirmative. The communication device 30 is operated so that the first notification information is transmitted from the communication device 30 to the relevant external terminal 40 (or to the server).

  The first notification information transmitted in this case is, for example, information indicating the type of each abnormality that has occurred in the predetermined period and the date and time of occurrence of the abnormality, and the final no-operation time Ta before abnormality corresponding to each abnormality that has occurred. It includes information indicating a time-measured value (or a degree of the length), information indicating the number of occurrences of an abnormality Na in the predetermined period, information for alerting relevant persons to the user, and the like.

  The first notification information transmitted in this way is received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned. At this time, it is relatively frequent that the concerned person continues the operation while forgetting that the user is operating the cooking device 1 for a relatively long time from the received first notification information. Can be recognized. Eventually, it is possible to take a countermeasure such as confirming the state of the user.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of STEP 8 is negative (when Ta <T1), the final time-measured value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality is relatively short. At some point in time, operations such as thermal power adjustment operations are being performed.

  In addition, when the determination result of STEP 13 is negative (when Na <N1), the final time-measured value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta is as long as necessary (T1 <Ta < Since the occurrence of the abnormality of the heating cooker 1 in the situation (T2) is low, such an abnormality is unlikely to occur during normal operation of the heating cooker 1.

  Therefore, in these cases, the user recognizes that the cooking device 1 is in operation (combustion operation of any one of the burners 3) normally (that the cooking device 1 is in operation). There is a high possibility that the cooking device 1 is in operation (without forgetting).

  Therefore, if the determination result in STEP 8 or STEP 13 is negative, the first notification information transmission unit 24a assumes that it is not necessary to notify the user's related person about the first notification information related to the occurrence of abnormality. Do not execute processing.

  As described above, the information transmission processing unit 24, when the abnormality of the heating cooker 1 occurs in a situation where the final time measured value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality is excessive (a situation where Ta ≧ T2), or The number of occurrences of abnormality (first number Na) in the situation where the final time-measured value of the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta is as long as necessary (the situation where T1 <Ta <T2) is set to the predetermined value N1. When it reaches, the first notification information that can be received by the external terminal 40 of the related party is transmitted. In other cases, the information transmission processing unit 24 does not transmit the first notification information.

  After executing the processing of the first notification information transmission unit 24a in STEPs 8 to 13 as described above, the control device 20 next performs the first notification information transmission by the first notification information transmission unit 24a in STEP 14 shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not transmission has been performed (whether or not the processing of STEP 10 has been executed).

  When the determination result of STEP 14 is positive, the control device 20 omits the processes of STEPs 15 to 23 described below. On the other hand, when the determination result of STEP14 is negative (in other words, when the determination result of STEP8 or STEP13 is negative), the control device 20 next performs the processing of STEP15 to STEP17. This is executed by the timer 23.

  In STEP 15, the second time measuring unit 23 starts measuring the post-abnormal no-operation time Tb. Note that the timing of the no-operation time Tb after abnormality may be started immediately after the determination result in STEP 6 becomes affirmative.

  Further, the second time measuring unit 23, after the start of the measurement of the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality, in STEP16, the abnormality handling operation (the fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3 (the operation button 7 of the burner 3 of the burner 3) The process of determining whether or not the pressing operation or the turning-off operation of the power switch 8 has been performed is sequentially executed until the abnormality handling operation is performed. In this case, in a state where the abnormality handling operation is not performed (a state in which the determination result in STEP 16 is negative), the post-abnormal no-operation time Tb is counted.

  Then, when an abnormality handling operation related to the burner 3 in which an abnormality has occurred is performed, when the determination result in STEP 16 becomes affirmative, the second timer unit 23 ends the time measurement of the no-operation time Tb after abnormality in STEP 17 ( The time measured value of the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality is retained). In addition, after the abnormality handling operation regarding the burner 3 in which an abnormality has occurred, the combustion operation of the burner 3 can be resumed by performing the ignition operation of the burner 3. Note that when the power switch 8 is turned off as an abnormality handling operation, more specifically, the power switch 8 is turned on again, and the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3 in which the abnormality has occurred is operated. After performing the pushing operation (fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3), the ignition operation of the burner 3 is performed again, whereby the combustion operation of the burner 3 can be resumed.

  As described above, the second timing unit 23 continues the state in which the abnormality handling operation is not performed until the abnormality handling operation is performed on the burner 3 in which the abnormality has occurred (the burner 3 that has been forced to be extinguished). The post-abnormal no-operation time Tb is measured.

  Next, the control device 20 executes the processing of STEPs 18 to 23 by the second notification information transmission unit 24b of the information transmission processing unit 24.

  In STEP 18, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b determines the final time measured value of the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta (time measurement value at the end of time measurement in STEP 7) and the final time-measured value of the post-abnormal no-operation time Tb (STEP 16). And the total time (Ta + Tb) with the third predetermined time T3 (for example, 0.5 hour) and the total time (Ta + Tb) is equal to or longer than the third predetermined time T3. Judge whether there is. The third predetermined time T3 corresponds to the C predetermined time in the present invention. In the present embodiment, the third predetermined time T3 is the same time as the first predetermined time T1, but may be a time different from T1.

  If the determination result in STEP 18 is affirmative, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b further compares the total time (Ta + Tb) with the fourth predetermined time T4 in STEP 19, and the total time (Ta + Tb) is 4. It is determined whether or not the time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time T4. The fourth predetermined time T4 corresponds to the D predetermined time in the present invention, and is longer than the third predetermined time T3 in STEP 18 (for example, 1 hour). The fourth predetermined time T4 is a time having the same length as the second predetermined time T2 in the present embodiment, but may be a time having a length different from T2.

  When the determination result in STEP 19 is affirmative, the final time-measured value of the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta is not so long (in this embodiment, at least shorter than the second predetermined time T2), but before the abnormality. This is a case where the total time (Ta + Tb) of the final time measured value of the non-operation time Ta and the final time measured value of the post-abnormal no-operation time Tb is excessively long. For this reason, the user forgets that the operation of the heating cooker 1 (combustion operation of one of the burners 3) was performed from a relatively close time before the occurrence of the abnormality (for example, immediately before the occurrence of the abnormality) There is a high possibility that the burner 3 is separated from the heating cooker 1, and as a result, the burner 3 is forcibly extinguished due to the occurrence of an abnormality.

  Therefore, in this case, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b assumes that the second notification information related to the occurrence of abnormality should be notified to the user concerned in STEP 20, and the second notification information is transmitted from the communication device 30 to the relationship. The communication device 30 is operated so as to transmit to the external terminal 40 of the person (or to the server).

  The second notification information transmitted in this case includes, for example, information indicating the type of abnormality that has occurred and the date and time of occurrence of the abnormality, information indicating the value of the total time (Ta + Tb) (or the degree of its length), and attention to the user Including information to urge related parties.

  The second notification information transmitted in this way is received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned. In this case, the first notification information is not transmitted because the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta is shorter (shorter than the first predetermined time T1), or the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta is relatively long ( Even if the first notification information is not transmitted because the occurrence frequency of T1 <Ta <T2) is low, the total time (Ta + Tb) is excessively long (longer than the fourth predetermined time T4). In addition, the related person can receive the second notification information via the external terminal 40.

  Then, the person concerned forgets that the user was operating the cooking device 1 from the received second notification information before the occurrence of the abnormality, and over the excessively long time of the cooking device 1 It can be recognized that there is a high possibility that an abnormality has not been noticed. As a result, it is possible to quickly take countermeasures such as checking the state of the user.

  Further, when the determination result in STEP 19 is negative, the total time (Ta + Tb) is relatively long (to the extent that attention is required) (T3 <Ta + Tb <T4). In this case, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b stores abnormality information indicating the type of abnormality that has occurred, the date and time of occurrence of the abnormality, and the total time (Ta + Tb) in STEP21.

  Further, in STEP 22, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b has a situation (T3 <Ta + Tb <) in which the total time (Ta + Tb) is long enough to be warranted within a predetermined period before the current time (for example, within a period of 7 days). The number of times Nb (which will be referred to as the second number Nb) is calculated.

  Then, in STEP 23, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b compares the second number Nb with a predetermined value N2, and determines whether or not the second number Nb has reached the predetermined value N2 (Nb ≧ N2). Or). When the determination result of STEP23 is affirmative (when Nb ≧ N2), the total time (Ta + Tb) is as long as necessary (T3 <Ta + Tb <T4). Can be considered. For this reason, forgetting that the user was operating the cooking device 1 (combustion operation of any one of the burners 3), the burner 3 was forcibly extinguished due to the occurrence of an abnormality. There is a high possibility that a situation in which the user has not noticed over a long period of time (a situation in which the operation of the heating cooker 1 is forgotten for a long time before and after the occurrence of an abnormality in the heating cooker 1) is likely to occur.

  Therefore, if the determination result in STEP 23 is affirmative, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b transmits the second notification information related to the occurrence of abnormality in STEP 20 as in the case where the determination result in STEP 19 is affirmative. The communication device 30 is operated so that the second notification information is transmitted from the communication device 30 to the relevant external terminal 40 (or to the server). The second notification information transmitted in this case includes, for example, information indicating the type of each abnormality that occurred in STEP 22 and the date and time of occurrence of the abnormality, and the value of the total time (Ta + Tb) corresponding to each abnormality that has occurred ( Or information indicating the number Nb of occurrences of abnormality within the predetermined period, information for calling attention to the user, and the like.

  The second notification information transmitted in this way is received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned. In this case, the first notification information is not transmitted because the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta is shorter (shorter than the first predetermined time T1), or the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta is relatively long ( Even if the first notification information is not transmitted because the occurrence frequency of T1 <Ta <T2) is small, the total time (Ta + Tb) is relatively long (T3 <Ta + Tb <T4). Since the occurrence frequency of the situation becomes large, the related person can receive the second notification information via the external terminal 40.

  Then, the person concerned forgets that the user was operating the cooking device 1 from the received second notification information before the occurrence of the abnormality, and over the relatively long time, It can be recognized that it is easy to occur that the user does not notice the occurrence of the abnormality. Eventually, it is possible to take a countermeasure such as confirming the state of the user.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of STEP 18 is negative (when Ta + Tb <T3), the total time (Ta + Tb) is relatively short, and therefore the no-operation time Ta before abnormality is relatively short (at least the first time). 2 is shorter than the predetermined time T2), and an abnormality handling operation related to the burner 3 that is forcibly extinguished by the occurrence of an abnormality is performed at a relatively early time after the occurrence of the abnormality.

  Further, when the determination result in STEP 23 is negative (Nb <N2), a situation in which the total time (Ta + Tb) is as long as necessary (a situation where T3 <Ta + Tb <T4) occurs. Since the frequency is low, this situation is unlikely to occur during normal operation of the cooking device 1 by the user.

  Therefore, in these cases, when the combustion operation of one of the burners 3 of the heating cooker 1 is forcibly stopped due to the occurrence of an abnormality, the user operates the heating cooker 1 during the period before and after that. There is a high possibility that the state can be recognized normally.

  Therefore, when the determination result in STEP 18 or STEP 23 is negative, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b assumes that it is not necessary to notify the user concerned about the second notification information related to the occurrence of abnormality. Do not execute processing.

  As described above, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b has a situation where the total time (Ta + Tb) becomes excessive (a situation where Ta + Tb ≧ T4) occurs, or the total time (Ta + Tb) is long enough to be careful. When the number of occurrences (situation where T3 <Ta + Tb <T4) (second number Nb) reaches a predetermined value N2, second notification information that can be received by the external terminal 40 of the related party is transmitted. On the other hand, in other cases, the second notification information transmission unit 24b does not transmit the second notification information.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the control device 20 performs the pre-abnormal operation-free time Ta when an abnormality occurs and the combustion operation of the burner 3 is forcibly stopped during the operation of the heating cooker 1. Or, when the total time (Ta + Tb) is excessively long, or when the occurrence frequency of the situation in which the pre-abnormality no-operation time Ta or the total time (Ta + Tb) is long to some extent is high, the first notification information to the user concerned Alternatively, the second notification information is notified.

  For this reason, in a situation where the user is likely to forget the operation of the heating cooker 1, notification regarding the occurrence of abnormality can be made to the user concerned, and the notification is excessively frequent. Can be prevented.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, only part of the processing of the control device 20 is different from the first embodiment. Therefore, the description is focused on matters different from the first embodiment, and is the same as the first embodiment. Explanation of matters is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, after executing the processing of FIG. 3 described in the first embodiment, the control device 20 performs the first notification information transmission unit 24a in STEP 14 shown in FIG. 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. It is determined whether or not one notification information has been transmitted (whether or not the processing of STEP 10 has been executed).

  If the determination result in STEP 14 is affirmative, the control device 20 omits the processes in STEP 15 to 18 and 20 to 24 shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the determination result of STEP 14 is negative (in other words, when the determination result of STEP 8 or STEP 13 is negative), the control device 20 next performs the processing of STEPs 15 to 17, 24. This is executed by the second timer 23. In this case, in the present embodiment, the second timing unit 23 starts measuring the post-abnormality no-operation time Tb in STEP 15 and then responds to an abnormality related to the burner 3 in which an abnormality has occurred in STEP 16 as in the first embodiment. Processing for determining whether or not an operation (fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3 or turning off the power switch 8) has been performed is executed.

  Then, if the determination result in STEP 16 is negative, the second timing unit 23 determines in STEP 24 the final time value of the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality and the time value of the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality. It is determined whether or not the total time (Ta + Tb) has reached the fourth predetermined time T4. If the determination result is negative (Ta + Tb <T4), the processing from STEP 16 is repeated.

  Therefore, the second time measuring unit 23 determines that the post-abnormal no-operation time Tb is increased until the determination result in STEP 16 becomes affirmative due to the abnormality handling operation or the total time (Ta + Tb) reaches the fourth predetermined time T4. Advance timing.

  When the total time (Ta + Tb) reaches the fourth predetermined time T4 (when the determination result in STEP 24 becomes affirmative) without performing the abnormality handling operation, the control device 20 immediately proceeds to the second of the information transmission processing unit 24. The notification information transmission unit 24b executes the processing of STEP 20 described in the first embodiment (processing for transmitting the second notification information to the external terminal 40 of the person concerned (or to the server)).

  In addition, when an abnormality handling operation is performed before the total time (Ta + Tb) reaches the fourth predetermined time T4 (when the determination result in STEP 16 becomes affirmative), the control device 20 uses the second notification information. The processing of STEPs 18, 21, 22, 23, and 20 is executed by the transmission unit 24b. In this case, in STEP 18, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b determines whether the total time (Ta + Tb) is equal to or longer than the third predetermined time T3, as in the first embodiment. Then, if the determination result in STEP 18 is affirmative (when Ta + Tb ≧ T3), the second notification information transmission unit 24b executes the processes in STEP 21 to 23 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. When the determination result is affirmative (when Nb ≧ N2), the processing of STEP 20 (processing for transmitting the second notification information to the external terminal 40 of the related party (or to the server)) is executed.

  In addition, the second notification information transmission unit 24b determines that the determination result of STEP 18 is negative (when Ta + Tb <T3) or the determination result of STEP 23 is negative (when Nb <N2). As in the first embodiment, the processing of STEP 20 is not executed on the assumption that the second notification information does not need to be notified to the related parties of the user.

  Also in the present embodiment, the control device 20 is configured so that, when an abnormality occurs during the operation of the heating cooker 1 and the combustion operation of the burner 3 is forcibly stopped, the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta or the total time Only when (Ta + Tb) is excessively long, or when the occurrence frequency of a situation in which the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta or the total time (Ta + Tb) is increased to some extent is high, the first notification information or the second Notification information is notified.

  For this reason, in a situation where the user is likely to forget the operation of the heating cooker 1, notification regarding the occurrence of abnormality can be made to the user concerned, and the notification is excessively frequent. Can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, since the second notification information is transmitted immediately when the total time (Ta + Tb) reaches the fourth predetermined time T4, the second notification information can be quickly notified to the parties concerned. it can.

[About other embodiments]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and other embodiments can be adopted. Several other embodiments will be described below.

  In the embodiment, both the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta and the post-abnormal no-operation time Tb are timed, and the first notification information or the second notification is made according to the pre-abnormal no-operation time Ta and the total time (Ta + Tb). Information sent. However, for example, the measurement of the no-operation time after abnormality Tb and the transmission of the second notification information may be omitted (specifically, the processing in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 is omitted).

  Alternatively, for example, the processing of STEP 8 to 13 in FIG. 3 and STEP 14 in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 is omitted (the transmission processing of the first notification information is omitted), and the second notification is performed only in accordance with the total time (Ta + Tb). Information may be transmitted. In such a case, the second notification information corresponds to the abnormality-related notification information in the present invention.

  Further, for example, the processes of STEPs 9, 11, 12, and 13 in the process of FIG. 3 may be omitted, or the process of STEP 8 in the process of FIG. 3 may be omitted. If the processing of STEP 8 is omitted, it can be considered that the second predetermined time T2 corresponds to the A predetermined time in the present invention.

  Further, for example, the processing of STEP 19, 21, 22, 23 in the processing of FIG. 4 may be omitted, or the processing of STEP 18 in the processing of FIG. 4 may be omitted. When the process of STEP 18 is omitted, the fourth predetermined time T4 corresponds to the C predetermined time in the present invention.

  Further, for example, when the processing of STEP 17, 18, 21 to 23 of the processing of FIG. 5 may be terminated without transmitting the second notification information when a corresponding operation is performed. In this case, the fourth predetermined time T4 in STEP23 corresponds to the C predetermined time in the present invention.

  Alternatively, for example, in STEP 24 of the process of FIG. 5, when the total time (Ta + Tb) is compared with the third predetermined time T3 instead of the fourth predetermined time T4 and Ta + Tb ≧ T3, In addition to executing the process, if Ta + Tb <T3, the process from STEP16 is executed, and if the determination result in STEP16 is affirmative (before Ta + Tb ≧ T3, the abnormality handling related to the abnormality that occurred) 5 may be terminated when an operation is performed.

  In each of the above embodiments, the first predetermined time T1 and the second predetermined time T2 compared with the measured value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality, or the predetermined value N1 compared with the first number Na is generated, for example A value set for each type of abnormality may be used. The same applies to the third predetermined time T3 and the fourth predetermined time T4 compared with the total time (Ta + Tb) or the predetermined value N2 compared with the second number of times Nb.

  Moreover, in each said embodiment, the built-in type gas stove was illustrated as the heating cooker 1. FIG. However, the cooking device of the present invention is not limited to a built-in gas stove, and may be, for example, a table stove. Furthermore, the heat generating part of the cooking device may be an electric heat generating part such as an IH heater. The cooking device is not limited to a stove, and may be a cooking device such as an oven.
