DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device of a cooking appliance for transmitting information to a user using the cooking appliance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a display device of a cooking appliance displays only necessary information, such as a liquid crystal display, to make it easy for a user to understand.

A display device of a conventional cooking appliance is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. 13 to 15, 1
Is a printed wiring board, 2 is a menu name display means composed of liquid crystal, 3 is a menu key, 4 is an input key, 5 is an off key, and menu keys 3, an input key 4, and an off key. 5 is a printed wiring board 1
It is installed in. 6 is an outer shell of the main body, 7 is an operation sheet, 8
Is a protection sheet. The printed wiring board 1 is attached to the outer casing 6 of the main body with screws, the operation sheet 7 is adhered to the outer casing of the main body with a double-sided tape or the like, and the protective sheet 8 is adhered to the operation sheet 7 with a weak adhesion. Have been. On the operation sheet 7, "Menu", "On" and "Off" are printed at positions facing the Menu-3, Enter-4 and Off-5 respectively. Protection sheath
The sheet 8 protects the operation sheet 7 from scratches and the like, and is peeled off when used.

[0004] The operation of the display device of the cooking appliance configured as described above will be described. Here, an example of a baking machine, which is a kind of cooking appliance, will be described. First, the protective sheet 8 is peeled off before use. Then, the menu 3 is pressed to select a cooking menu. First, when the power is turned on, the control means 10 calls up the menu stored in the menu storage means 9 and displays it on the menu name display means 2. Here, Figure 1
The bread is displayed as shown in Step 1 of Step 6. Each time the menu key-3 is pressed once, another menu stored in the menu storage means 9 is called up, and the software is abbreviated as shown in step 2; (Short for French bread), the first bread is displayed as shown in step 4. For example, when the soft bread is selected and the input key -4 is pressed, the cooking starts.
The cut key 5 is used when cooking is stopped halfway.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, only the necessary display is displayed at the time of use, so that it is easy to use. However, when the power is off, nothing is displayed on the menu display means 2. When displayed at a store, it was inconvenient for customers who came to buy, because it was not clear what kind of function (here, what kind of menu) it had.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a display device of a cooking appliance which can display the function of a product even when the power is off.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, a display device of a cooking appliance according to the present invention is provided with a protection sheet on which a part or all of letters, numerals, pictures, etc., which are appropriately displayed by a display means, are printed. have.

[0008]

With this configuration, it is possible to know what display the display means will display even when the power is off, based on characters, numbers, pictures, and the like printed on the protection sheet. Further, when used, the protective sheet is peeled off and used, so that the display means can appropriately perform only necessary display.
