[Embodiment 1]
Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the cooker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The cooker 1 is a cooker capable of cooking such as heating, thawing, and fermentation. As shown in FIG. 2, the cooker 1 includes a main body casing 110, a heating chamber 120, a door 130, and an operation unit 140. The main body casing 110 is a casing having a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The heating chamber 120 is provided in the main body casing 110 and has an opening on the front side of the paper surface.

The door 130 opens and closes the opening of the heating chamber 120. The door 130 includes an outer glass 131 that allows the inside of the heating chamber 120 to be visually recognized, and a door grip portion 132 that protrudes toward the front of the paper surface on the upper side of the outer glass 131. Further, the door 130 is configured to rotate around an axis not shown on the lower side in the left-right direction.

The operation unit 140 is an input device that receives a user's input to the cooker 1. The operation unit 140 is provided near one end of the door 130. The operation unit 140 has a display unit 141, a cancel key 142, and a button group 143. The display unit 141 displays information about cooking by the cooker 1. The display unit 141 is, for example, a liquid crystal display. The cancel key 142 is a key for stopping cooking by the cooker 1 in the middle. The button group 143 is a button group for determining the type and time of cooking.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the inside of the heating chamber 120 of the cooker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the heating chamber 120 includes a temperature sensor 10 and an interior light 20 (light emitting unit).

The temperature sensor 10 is a sensor that detects the temperature inside the heating chamber 120. The temperature sensor 10 in the first embodiment is a thermistor, but the temperature sensor 10 is not limited to this as long as it is configured to detect the temperature inside the refrigerator.

The interior light 20 is an illuminating lamp that illuminates the interior of the heating chamber 120. The interior light 20 in the first embodiment is a three-color LED (Light Emitting Diode), but may be a light bulb or a laser light source as long as it is configured to emit light.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a main part of the cooker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the cooker 1 further includes a control unit 30 and a storage unit 40 in addition to the above-described configuration.

The control unit 30 controls the light emitting mode of the interior light 20. The control unit 30 includes a temperature acquisition unit 31 and a post-cooking light emission control unit 32. The temperature acquisition unit 31 acquires the temperature inside the refrigerator from the temperature sensor 10 after cooking by the cooker 1. After cooking, the light emission control unit 32 causes the internal light 20 to emit light in a light emitting mode according to the internal temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 31.

The light emitting mode in the first embodiment is a mode of the wavelength of the light emitted by the internal light 20. Specifically, the post-cooking light emission control unit 32 causes the internal light 20 to emit light in different colors depending on whether the temperature inside the refrigerator is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature or lower than a predetermined temperature. In addition to the wavelength of light, the light emitting mode may include modes such as light brightness, blinking interval, and shape or pattern of an image due to light.

In addition, the control unit 30 controls a heating unit (not shown) that heats the cooking object stored in the heating chamber 120. As the heating unit, one using microwaves, one using hot air, one using steam, or the like can be adopted.

The storage unit 40 is a storage device that stores information necessary for control by the control unit 30. The storage unit 40, for example, has a program for the temperature acquisition unit 31 to acquire the temperature inside the refrigerator from the temperature sensor 10, a program for the light emission control unit 32 after cooking to control the interior light 20, and the like. I remember. The storage unit 40 may be a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, a flash memory, or the like.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a process (control method) performed by the control unit 30 after cooking by the cooker 1. As shown in FIG. 4, after cooking by the cooker 1, the temperature acquisition unit 31 first acquires the temperature inside the refrigerator from the temperature sensor 10 (S1, temperature acquisition step). Next, after cooking, the light emission control unit 32 causes the internal light 20 to emit light in a light emitting mode according to the internal temperature (S2, light emitting step). The control unit 30 repeats the processes of steps S1 and S2 at predetermined intervals after cooking by the cooker 1. The predetermined interval may be appropriately set in the range of, for example, 1 second or more and 30 seconds or less, but is not limited to this.

As described above, if the temperature inside the heating chamber 120 is high after the cooking is performed, cooking such as thawing or fermentation cannot be performed. For example, in the case of a cooker that does not have a function such as displaying the temperature inside the refrigerator, when the user selects a cooking method such as thawing or fermentation in a state where the temperature inside the refrigerator is high and starts cooking, cooking is not possible. Notify the user of the error. In this case, since the user recognizes that cooking is not possible after the start of cooking, the user who operates the cooker loses time until an error occurs in the state where cooking is not possible. In addition, the user may inquire about the error from the manufacturer or the like, in which case further time is lost. Further, in the cooker according to Patent Document 1, although it is possible to determine whether or not cooking is possible before the user selects a cooking method, there is the inconvenience as described above.

In the cooker 1, the upper limit of the internal temperature at which cooking such as thawing or fermentation is possible is set to a predetermined temperature for different light emitting modes of the internal light 20. For example, after cooking, if the temperature inside the refrigerator is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the post-cooking light emission control unit 32 causes the interior light 20 to emit red light. When the temperature inside the refrigerator is lower than a predetermined temperature, the light emission control unit 32 after cooking causes the interior light 20 to emit blue light.

After cooking, the light emission control unit 32 causes the internal light 20 to emit light in a light emitting mode according to the temperature inside the refrigerator, so that the user determines whether or not cooking such as thawing or fermentation is possible based on the light emitting mode of the internal light 20. be able to. Therefore, the user can determine whether or not the above cooking is possible before starting the operation for cooking. Further, the user can determine whether or not the above cooking is possible only by the light emitting mode of the internal light 20 without knowing in advance the upper limit of the temperature inside the cooking chamber such as thawing or fermentation. Therefore, according to the cooker 1, the convenience in determining whether or not cooking is possible is improved.

Further, as described above, in the first embodiment, the light emitting mode of the internal light 20 includes the wavelength of the light emitted by the internal light 20, that is, the color of the light. By increasing the difference in the wavelength of light according to the temperature inside the refrigerator, the user can easily grasp the difference in the light emitting mode of the interior light 20. The color of the light emitted by the internal light 20 is not limited to the above example when the internal temperature is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature and when the internal temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature. Further, the color of the light emitted by the interior light 20 may be changed by the user.

Further, the post-cooking light emission control unit 32 may turn off the internal light 20 after a predetermined time has elapsed after the internal temperature becomes lower than the predetermined temperature. In this case, the power consumption can be suppressed as compared with the case where the interior light 20 is continuously turned on.

Further, the light emission control unit 32 after cooking does not necessarily have to change the color of light according to the temperature inside the refrigerator. For example, the post-cooking light emission control unit 32 causes the internal light 20 to emit light in an arbitrary color when the internal temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, and when the internal temperature drops to less than the predetermined temperature. , The interior light 20 may be turned off. In this case, the interior light 20 does not have to be a three-color LED, and may emit light having a single wavelength.

In addition, cooking can be performed even when the temperature inside the heating chamber 120 is high. In that case, the user may operate the operation unit 140 to perform cooking regardless of the light emitting mode of the interior light 20.

Further, the control unit 30 may control the light emitting mode of the internal light 20 before the start of cooking by the cooker 1. For example, when cooking that requires preheating, the control unit 30 sets the preheating temperature set by the user as a predetermined temperature, and the temperature inside the refrigerator is lower than the predetermined temperature and higher than the predetermined temperature. , The interior light 20 may be made to emit light in different light emitting modes.

Further, the control unit 30 may set a plurality of predetermined temperatures based on the preheating temperature set by the user. For example, when the preheating temperature set by the user is 180 ° C., the control unit 30 may set 180 ° C. and 150 ° C. to predetermined temperatures. In this case, the control unit 30 has (i) when the temperature inside the refrigerator is less than 150 ° C., (ii) when the temperature inside the refrigerator is 150 ° C. or higher and less than 180 ° C., and (iii) the temperature inside the refrigerator is 180 ° C. In each of the above cases, the interior light 20 is made to emit light in different light emitting modes. Further, the control unit 30 may set a predetermined temperature of 3 or more.

Further, the cooker 1 may have a light emitting unit capable of emitting light in the same manner as the above-mentioned interior light 20 at a position visible from the outside of the cooker 1 such as the operation unit 140. In this case, the post-cooking light emitting control unit 32 may make the light emitting unit emit light in a light emitting mode according to the temperature inside the refrigerator.

Further, the cooker 1 may display an image according to the temperature inside the refrigerator on an external device such as a personal digital assistant owned by the user. In this case, the cooker 1 may be provided with a communication device for communicating with the external device.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the cooker 2 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the cooker 2 includes an interior light 50 instead of the interior light 20. Further, in the cooker 2, the control unit 30 includes a cooking type acquisition unit 33 and a light emission control unit 34 during cooking, in addition to the temperature acquisition unit 31 and the post-cooking light emission control unit 32 described above.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an outline of the interior light 50. As shown in FIG. 6, the interior light 50 includes a light source 51 and a light transmitting member 52. The light source 51 may be an LED, a light bulb, a laser light source, or the like, like the interior light 20.

The light transmitting member 52 is a thin plate-shaped member having slits 53 and 54 through which light emitted from the light source 51 is transmitted. The material of the light transmitting member 52 may be any material that does not transmit light, and is, for example, an opaque resin or metal. When the light emitted from the slits 53 and 54 interfere with each other, interference fringes are generated in the light emitted by the interior light 50. The light transmitting member 52 may have a plurality of slits, and may have three or more slits.

The light transmitting member 52 has a posture changing mechanism (not shown) capable of changing the posture of the light transmitting member 52 with respect to the light source 51. Therefore, the light transmitting member 52 can change its posture with respect to the light source 51.

The cooking type acquisition unit 33 acquires the cooking type from the operation unit 140 that has received an operation by the user for selecting the cooking type. The light emission control unit 34 during cooking causes the internal light 50 to emit light during cooking by the cooker 2 in a light emitting mode according to the type of cooking. The light emitting mode of the internal light 50 controlled by the light emitting control unit 34 during cooking includes the posture of the light transmitting member 52. When the posture of the light transmitting member 52 changes, the positions of the slits 53 and 54 with respect to the light source 51 change, so that the pattern of the light image emitted by the interior light 50 changes. The user of the cooker 2 can recognize that the cooker 2 is operating and the type of cooking by the cooker 2 by the change of the pattern.

The type of cooking in the cooker 2 includes cooking with microwaves. Since microwaves are invisible, users may feel uneasy about whether the cooking machine is operating in a conventional cooking machine.

In the cooker 2, the light emitting control unit 34 during cooking rotates the light transmitting member 52 around an axis passing through the light source 51 when the type of cooking is cooking by microwaves. As a result, the pattern of the light image produced by the interior light 50 changes as if the cooking object is being irradiated with microwaves. Therefore, it becomes easy for the user to recognize that the cooker 2 is being cooked by microwaves.

Further, when the type of cooking by the cooker 2 is other than cooking by microwave, the light emitting control unit 34 during cooking is a light transmitting member in a mode different from the case where the type of cooking is cooking by microwave. 52 may be rotated. Further, when the light source 51 is a three-color LED or the like, the light emission control unit 34 during cooking may cause the light source 51 to emit light at a wavelength different from that in the case where the type of cooking is heating by microwaves.

In the cooker 2, the internal light 50 emits light by controlling the light emitting mode during cooking by the light emitting control unit 34 during cooking, while emitting light after cooking by controlling the light emitting control unit 32 after cooking. .. However, the cooker according to the second embodiment may separately include the internal light 50 controlled by the light emitting control unit 34 during cooking and the internal light 20 controlled by the light emitting control unit 32 after cooking. ..

Further, in the cooker 3, the control unit 30 includes a scan position acquisition unit 35 and an irradiation control unit 36 in addition to the temperature acquisition unit 31 and the post-cooking light emission control unit 32.

The infrared sensor 60 scans the cooking target by the cooker 3 and detects the infrared rays emitted by the cooking target. Further, the second interior light 70 is an interior light that can change the irradiation position of light on the cooking object.

The scan position acquisition unit 35 acquires the scan position on the cooking object by the infrared sensor 60. The irradiation control unit 36 changes the irradiation position of the light by the second internal light 70. In the cooker 3, the irradiation control unit 36 changes the irradiation position of the light by the second internal light 70 according to the position of the scan on the cooking object by the infrared sensor 60. Therefore, according to the cooker 3, the state of scanning the cooking object by the infrared sensor 60 can be visualized by irradiating the scan position on the cooking object with the infrared sensor 60 with light by the second internal light. .. Therefore, in the cooker 3, the user can recognize at a glance that the scan is being performed by the infrared sensor 60 and the approximate remaining time of the scan.
