The motor drive circuit 38 drives the motor 35 under the control of the controller 34 , and the speaker drive circuit 39 drives the speaker 36 under the control of the controller 34 . The clock unit 40 has a timer function and clocks time.

The lid opening/closing sensor 41 is a sensor that detects opening/closing of the outer lid 31 and sends a detected signal to the control unit 34 . The control unit 34 controls the heating unit 22 so as to perform cooking according to the opening and closing of the outer lid 31 . Details of the heat cooking control will be described later.

The storage unit 42 stores information on the control details that the control unit 34 performs on the heating unit 22, the stirring mechanism 33, and the like for cooking each dish. In particular, the heating cooker 1 can automatically cook a large number of dishes from start to finish by reserved cooking. Therefore, for reserved cooking, the storage unit 42 stores information on the content of control performed by the control unit 34 on the heating unit 22 and the stirring mechanism 33 from the start of cooking to the completion of cooking for each dish (hereinafter referred to as reserved cooking information). ) is stored. In addition, the storage unit 42 stores information on the control contents (hereinafter referred to as (usually referred to as cooking information). The normal cooking information includes the cooking menu including the open/closed state of the outer lid 31, that is, the process of heating with the outer lid 31 closed and the state of the outer lid 31 open from the start of cooking to the end of cooking. A cooking menu including the process of heating with is included.

In addition, the storage unit 42 stores various setting information by the operation buttons 372 and utterance information indicating the content to be uttered by the speaker 36 during cooking or the like.

The control unit 34 controls the operation of the heating unit 22 , the motor drive circuit 38 that drives the motor 35 , and the speaker drive circuit 39 that drives the speaker 36 according to the control contents stored in the storage unit 42 .

Specifically, the control unit 34 controls each unit to perform cooking based on the cooking information (reserved cooking information, normal cooking information) stored in the storage unit 42 . In this case, the control unit 34 controls the operation of the heating unit 22 so that the temperature of the ingredients reaches the predetermined temperature specified in the cooking information.

The control unit 34 indirectly detects the temperature of the ingredients in the inner pot 13 based on the temperature of the inner pot 13 detected by the temperature sensor 23, the weight of the ingredients detected by the weight sensor 24, and the heating time of the heating unit 22. do.

That is, the heating cooker 1 stores in the storage unit 42 data in which the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 23, the weight of the food, the heating time, and the temperature of the food are associated with each other. The control unit 34 refers to the above data and detects the temperature of the food in the inner pot 13 from the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 23, the weight of the food, and the heating time.

(heat cooking control)
When the lid open/close sensor 41 detects that the lid is closed, the heat cooker 1 executes the first heat cooking step for performing heat cooking with the lid closed, and the lid open/close sensor 41 detects that the lid is closed. When it is detected that the lid has been opened, the cooking control is performed so that the second heating cooking step is performed with the lid opened.

Specifically, the heating cooker 1 can heat and cook with one cooking menu in both the state in which the outer lid 31 is closed and the state in which the outer lid 31 is opened. That is, the heating cooker 1 performs a heating process with the outer lid 31 closed (first heating cooking process) and a heating process with the outer lid 31 open (second cooking process) from the start of cooking to the end of cooking. 2 heat cooking step) and a step of heating with the outer lid 31 closed (third heat cooking step). When such a cooking menu is executed, for example, heat cooking control as shown in FIG. 4 is performed. In the following description of the heating and cooking control, lids including the outer lid 31 and the inner lid 32 will be described. That is, opening the lid means opening the outer lid 31 and the inner lid 32 , and closing the lid means closing the outer lid 31 and the inner lid 32 .

The heat cooking control shown in FIG. 4 executes a first heat cooking step in which cooking is performed with the lid closed at the start of cooking, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, cooking is performed with the lid open until the end of cooking in a second heat cooking step. An example of executing a process or a third cooking process is shown.

That is, when the cooking menu selected by the user is executed, the first heat cooking process is first executed (step S11), and when the predetermined heating time in the first heat cooking process elapses, the heating is terminated. It is determined whether or not heating is finished (step S12).

If it is determined that the heating in the first heat cooking process has ended, the user is notified that the first heat cooking process has ended (step S13). Here, a sound, voice, or the like for notifying that the first cooking step has been completed is emitted from a speaker (informing unit) 36 built into the heating cooker 1 . As a method of notifying the user, in addition to sound and voice, a display indicating that the first heat cooking step is completed may be displayed on the display section 371 of the operation display section 37, or a combination of sound and display may be used. good.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the lid is opened (step S14). Specifically, based on the detection signal of the lid opening/closing sensor 41, the opening/closing of the lid is determined. Here, if it is determined that the lid has been opened, the second heating cooking process is executed for cooking with the lid open (step 15), and when the predetermined heating time in the second heating cooking process elapses. , the heating is finished, so it is determined whether or not the heating is finished (step S16). If it is determined that the heating in the second heat cooking process is finished, the heat cooking is finished.

On the other hand, if the lid is not opened in step S14, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (step S17). Here, if it is determined that the predetermined time has passed, it is determined that the user is not near the heating cooker 1, the process proceeds to step S18, and the third heating cooking process is performed instead of the second heating cooking process. is executed (step S18). Here, in the third heat cooking step, when restarting the heat cooking, the food is cooked at a heating temperature and a different heating time from those of the heat cooking performed in the second heat cooking step. For example, in the third cooking step, cooking is performed with the lid closed, so the heating temperature is lower than the heating temperature in the second cooking step, and the heating time is longer than the heating time in the second cooking step. I keep it short. In addition, in the third cooking step, cooking is performed with the lid closed, so the heating temperature is lower than the heating temperature in the second cooking step, or the heating time is longer than the heating time in the second cooking step. can also be shortened. As a result, it is possible to bring the food closer to the cooking state of the second cooking process in which the food is cooked with the lid open.

After that, when the predetermined heating time in the third heating cooking process has elapsed, the heating is finished, so it is determined whether or not the heating is finished (step S19). If it is determined that the heating in the third heat cooking step is finished, the heat cooking is finished. Here, the heating time of the third cooking process may be the same as the heating time of the second cooking process, or may be set in advance to be different from the heating time of the second cooking process.

The cooking control shown in FIG. 4 assumes that the lid is kept open while the second cooking process is being performed.

The heat cooking control shown in FIG. 5 shows how the heat cooking control is performed when the lid is closed while the second heat cooking process is being performed.

That is, during execution of the second heat cooking process (step S21), it is determined whether or not the lid is closed (step S22). Here, if the lid is not closed (No), the heating will end when the predetermined heating time in the second cooking process has elapsed, so it is determined whether or not the heating has ended (step S23). If it is determined that the heating in the second heat cooking process is finished, the heat cooking is finished.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the lid is closed (Yes) in step S22, the heating is stopped (step S24), and the user is informed that the heating has been stopped (step S25). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the lid is opened (step S26), and if it is determined that the lid is opened, heating is resumed (step S27), the process proceeds to step S22, and it is determined whether or not the lid is closed. .

(effect)
As described above, the heating cooker 1 configured as described above is capable of cooking with the lid open as well as with the lid closed, so that various cooking menus can be executed.

By the way, in the heat cooker 1, when executing the second heat cooking process, which is heat cooking with the lid open, heating control is automatically performed so that the user does not need to operate the heat cooker 1 in particular. However, depending on the situation, it may be necessary to operate the heating cooker 1 . In such a case, as shown in FIG. 2, if the outer lid 31 is open, the operation display unit 37 provided on the outer lid 31 is operated. Since the operation display unit 37 is located at a position through which the operation is difficult, there arises a problem that the operation is difficult.

Therefore, when executing the second heat cooking process, the outer lid 31 can be completely removed from the cooker main body 11, and the operation display unit 37 provided on the removed outer lid 31 can be operated. good.

Alternatively, an operation display unit may be provided on the cooker main body 11 side so that the user can easily operate it even when the outer lid 31 is open.

In the second embodiment below, an example in which an operation display unit is provided on the cooker main body 11 side will be described.
