EXAMPLES Examples of the automatic bread maker of the present invention will be described below.
This will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an automatic bread maker in an embodiment corresponding to each invention described in claims 1 and 4, and FIG. 2 is an input means of the automatic bread maker. And FIG. 3 are diagrams showing the configuration of the display means, FIG. 3 is a cooking process diagram showing the cooking process of the control means of the automatic bread making machine, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the input means and the display means at the time of additional baking of the automatic bread making machine. FIG. 5 is a cooking process diagram at the time of additional baking of the automatic bread making machine. In the automatic bread maker of the present invention, the control function in the cooking process of the control means is different from the conventional example described above, and other parts having the same configuration and the same function and effect are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted. However, different points will be mainly described.

The control means 9 controls the heater 3 and the motor 5 according to the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 12, and when the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 12 is higher than the first predetermined temperature at the start of cooking, the cooking is performed. A function that does not start and a function that starts cooking when the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 12 is higher than a second predetermined temperature higher than the first predetermined temperature after completion of cooking and a specific cooking menu is selected Have Further, the control means 9 sets the temperature detected by the temperature detection means 12 at the start of cooking to room temperature, selects one of a plurality of cooking processes suitable for the room temperature, and performs cooking. When a cooking menu is selected and cooking is started, it has a function of performing cooking again in the cooking process previously cooked.

In the above embodiment, a case of cooking a cake, which is a cooking menu, will be described. Set egg, soft flour, sugar and water in baking pan 4. Next, the menu button 22a of the push button switch 22 of FIG. 2 is pressed several times to set the triangle mark to "cake". Then, the start / cut button 22c is pressed to start cooking. When cooking starts, if the temperature detected by the temperature detector 12 is 20 ° C., the controller 9 starts the low temperature process of the cooking process (C) in FIG.

In the low temperature process which is the cooking process (C) of FIG. 3, first, the kneading step is operated for 20 minutes to drive the motor 5 to rotate the kneading blades 7 to knead the ingredients in the baking pan 4. Further, in order to maintain the control temperature at 30 ° C., when the temperature detected by the temperature detection means 12 is lower than 30 ° C., the heating control means 10 energizes the heater 3 at a duty ratio of 10% to raise the temperature of the baking pan 4. To do. On the other hand, when the temperature detected by the temperature detector 8 is higher than 30 ° C., the heating controller 10 stops energizing the heater 3 to control the temperature of the bread baking mold 4 to be constant. After 20 minutes have passed, the baking step is performed for 1 hour. First, until the temperature detected by the temperature detection means 12 reaches 100 ° C., the heating control means 10 performs the energization rate to the heater at 100%. After that, up to 140 ℃
Perform to 0%. Finally 60% if below 135 ° C
Conductivity of 30% or higher, if higher.
The above cooking control is performed to bake the cake.

When cooking is completed, the buzzer is sounded by the operation of the notification means 15 to notify the user that cooking is completed. After that, if you want to add a little more baking by looking at the baked cake, press the start / cut button 22c of the push button switch 22 to end the heat retention, and then press the menu button 22a several times to align the triangular arrow with the cake.
Here, the control means 9 recognizes that the temperature detected by the temperature detection means 12 is equal to or higher than the second predetermined temperature (50 ° C. in the present embodiment), and selects the additional cooking which is a specific cooking menu. Recognizing that they are present, they only cook the cake baking process for an arbitrary time. In this case, the diagram is as shown in step 1 of FIG. 4, and the cooking time is 1 minute. Here, if the additional baking time is set to 10 minutes this time, the timer button 22b is pressed to set the time to 10.
Then, a display like step 2 is displayed. Then, when the start / cut button 22c is pressed, the additional baking only for baking the cake is started.

However, after the above-mentioned "cake" has been cooked and left for a long time (for example, 30 minutes or more), the start / cut button 22c of the push button switch 22 is pressed to end the heat retention, and the menu button 22a is pressed. When is pressed several times to align the triangle mark with the cake, the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 12 has dropped below the first predetermined temperature (40 ° C. in this embodiment), so the cake is set to be cooked from the beginning. . Therefore, when the start / cut button 22c is pressed, cooking starts from the beginning of the cake cooking menu. If the temperature is lower than the second predetermined temperature (50 ° C.) and higher than the first predetermined temperature (40 ° C.), the temperature in the baking chamber 2 is too high and cooking cannot be performed normally. Therefore, start cooking. I am trying not to.

As described above, the control means 9 determines by the temperature detected by the temperature detection means 12 whether the cake is cooked from the beginning or the additional baking in which only the baking step is added. .

When the above-mentioned additional baking of the cake is started, the control means 9 executes the low temperature process which is the previously cooked process shown in FIG. 5 to perform the cooking. That is, even if an attempt is made to determine the cooking process based on the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 12 at the start of cooking, the temperature at the start of cooking is high and the correct cooking process cannot be selected. Therefore, the control means 9 selects the cooking process performed immediately before. Remember and select the same cooking process. Here, cooking is performed only in the baking step, and the time is only 10 minutes. When the cooking for 10 minutes is completed, the buzzer is sounded by the operation of the notification means 15 to notify the user that the cooking for the additional baking is completed.

In this embodiment, the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 12 is 40 ° C. for the first predetermined temperature and 50 ° C. for the second predetermined temperature, but this temperature is determined by the structure of the main body 1. It goes without saying that other temperatures may be used.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 6 is a view showing an input means and a display means at the time of additional baking of an automatic bread maker in an embodiment corresponding to each of the inventions described in claims 2 and 3. In the invention of the second embodiment, the control function in the cooking process of the control means is different from that of the first embodiment described above, and other parts having the same configuration and the same function and effect are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description will be given. Will be omitted, and different points will be mainly described according to FIGS.

The control means 9 has a function of not starting cooking when the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 12 is higher than a predetermined temperature at the start of cooking, and a temperature detection when a specific menu is selected within a predetermined time after completion of cooking. It has a function of starting cooking even if the temperature detected by the means 12 is higher than the predetermined temperature. Further, the display means 14 displays the cooking condition, the cooking status, etc., and the control means 9 recognizes that a specific cooking menu has been selected after the completion of cooking, and this recognition allows the specific cooking menu to start cooking after the completion of cooking. It shows the possible period.

In the above embodiment, the case of cooking "cake" which is a cooking menu will be described. Set egg, soft flour, sugar and water in baking pan 4. Next, the menu button 22a of the push button switch 22 of FIG. 2 is pressed several times to align the triangle mark with the cake. Then, the start / cut button 22c is pressed to start cooking. When cooking starts, if the temperature detected by the temperature detection means 12 is 20 ° C., the control means 9 starts the low temperature process of the cooking process (C) in FIG.

Since the cooking process of the low temperature process of FIG. 3 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. Then, when the cooking of the cake is completed, the buzzer is sounded by the operation of the notification means 15 to notify the user that the cooking is completed. After that, the temperature is kept warm and the display of step 1 in FIG. 6 is displayed. Here, the LED 21 is in a blinking state to notify the user that the temperature is being maintained. In addition, the control means 9 is LC
In D20, "additional burnable" indicating a state in which additional heating cooking is possible is displayed. While the message is being displayed, the start / cut button 22c of the push button switch 22 is pressed to end the heat retention state, and then the menu button 22a is pressed several times to align the triangular arrow with the cake. After that, after adjusting the time with the timer button 22b, the start / cut button 22c can be pressed to perform additional baking only for the cake baking process for an arbitrary time. Then, when the additional cooking is started, the control means 9 executes the low temperature process of the previously cooked process shown in FIG. 5 to perform the cooking. Since this cooking process is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. Therefore, after 20 minutes have passed after the first cake was cooked, the display of "possible additional baking" disappears, and additional baking cannot be performed.

As described above, in this embodiment, only the baking process of the cake can be cooked until 20 minutes have passed after the completion of the first cake cooking process. But 2
After 0 minutes, the cake is cooked from the beginning, and it is determined whether the baking is the additional baking only in the baking process or the normal cake cooking only by the lapse of time after the completion of cooking. In general, when the user performs the additional grilling cooking, it is considered that it is within about 20 minutes after the completion of the cooking, so the additional grilling cooking can be performed without being aware of the time after the completion of the cooking.

Since the display is displayed on the display means 14 while the additional baking is possible, it is possible to perform the additional baking only in the baking process or the normal cake without making a mistake.

In this embodiment, the control means determines whether 20 minutes have elapsed after the completion of cooking, that is, the additional baking only in the baking process or the normal cake cooking. Needless to say, it is determined by the configuration of the main body 1 and may be at another time.

[0033]

According to the invention described in claim 1 of the present invention, when the temperature in the refrigerator after the completion of cooking is high, the additional baking of only the baking process can be additionally performed for an arbitrary time, so that the cake or the like can be cooked. Even if it becomes raw, you can bake the cake as you like by adding additional baking.

When the temperature inside the refrigerator is high after cooking, it is baked.
Even if the additional baking only in the lifting process is performed,
Since we will select the physical process, we will add another room temperature detection means.
Even if you don't have to choose a cooking process that suits your room temperature
Can be done at a constant baking temperature regardless of room temperature
