When the power switch 40 is turned off (step 300), the control unit H performs all fire extinguishing control to extinguish all burners, and then stops the operation of the gas stove.

Next, a specific example of the combustion control in step 200 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step 210, the control unit H determines whether or not a burner used for cooking is selected. Specifically, the control unit H regards a heating start command for any one of the high thermal power burner 1a, the standard burner 1b, and the grill burner 2 as a burner selection command. Next, in step 211, the control unit H cooks the cooking object using any one of the burners selected by the heating start command using the heating state adjusting unit 28 and the grill setting panel 70. Then, it is determined whether or not the set cooking conditions have been commanded. The control unit H performs automatic combustion control for automatically controlling the heating operation of the burner according to the set cooking condition when the set cooking condition is commanded (step 212), and adjusts the heating state when the set cooking condition is not commanded. Normal combustion control is performed to control the heating operation of the burner in accordance with instructions from the operator using the unit 28, the burner setting input panel 50, and the grill setting input panel 70 (step 213).

  For example, when the rotation operation unit 31a is pushed to start heating the high heating power burner 1a and the setting input of the “fried food” button 51a and the function setting button 51c is performed on the setting input panel 50, the control unit H In step 210, it is determined that the high thermal power burner 1a has been selected, and in step 211, it is determined that fried food cooking has been commanded at the oil temperature setting of 180 ° C. And the control part H maintains the temperature of the oil with which the cooking container is satisfy | filled 180 degreeC, monitoring the temperature of the bottom part of the cooking container heated by the high thermal power burner 1a with the temperature sensor 10a for high thermal power burners. Thus, automatic combustion control is performed to adjust the heating power by adjusting the opening of the flow control valve 18 (step 212).

  As described above, when the set cooking condition is instructed after the start of heating is instructed, the control unit H automatically regards the set cooking condition as the set cooking condition for the burner instructed to start heating. With this configuration, even if there is only one common cooking condition command means C for instructing the set cooking conditions for the plurality of heating means K, the set cooking conditions for the desired heating means K can be selectively selected. It can be commanded to. Therefore, since the space which the cooking condition instruction | command means C provided in a heat cooker requires can be made small, the heating cooking which can instruct | indicate each setting cooking condition with respect to several heating means K, without requiring a big space. Can be provided.

<Second Embodiment>
The flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is a second embodiment of a specific example of the combustion control in step 200. In this embodiment, the setting cooking conditions instructed by the controller H to the specific heating means K among the plurality of heating means K by the cooking condition instruction means C have already been set for the other heating means K. In some cases, it differs from the combustion control flowchart described in the first embodiment in that it is configured not to accept the commanded set cooking conditions.

  In step 220, the control unit H determines whether or not a burner used for cooking is selected. Next, in step 221, the control unit H cooks the cooking object using any one of the burners selected by the heating start command using the heating state adjusting unit 28 and the grill setting panel 70. Then, it is determined whether or not the set cooking conditions have been commanded. In step 222, when the setting cooking condition is not instructed, the control unit H performs the heating operation of the burner according to instructions from the operator using the heating state adjusting unit 28, the burner setting input panel 50, and the grill setting input panel 70. Normal combustion control is performed (step 225). On the other hand, when it is determined in step 221 that the set cooking condition has been commanded, the control unit H compares the newly set command cooking condition with the set cooking condition already set for another burner. Then, it is determined whether or not the newly set set cooking condition overlaps with another set cooking condition (step 222).

  When the newly commanded set cooking condition overlaps with the other set cooking conditions that have been set, the control unit H does not accept the commanded set cooking condition, and uses the buzzer 35 in step 224 to notify the buzzer. Then, the newly instructed set cooking condition is informed to the operator that the other set cooking conditions have been set, and normal combustion control is performed (step 225). On the other hand, when the newly commanded set cooking condition does not overlap with the other set cooking conditions that have been set, automatic combustion control is performed in step 223 to automatically control the heating operation of the burner according to the set cooking conditions.

  For example, the rotary operation unit 31a is pushed to start heating the high thermal power burner 1a, and setting input of the “fried food” button 51a and the function setting button 51c is performed on the setting input panel 50 to automatically burn the high thermal power burner 1a. While the control is continued, when the rotation operation unit 31b is newly pushed to start heating the standard burner 1b, and the setting input of the “fried food” button 51a and the function setting button 51c is performed on the setting input panel 50, Control unit H determines that standard burner 1b has been selected in step 220, and determines in step 221 that fried food cooking at the oil temperature setting of 180 ° C. has been commanded. Further, in step 222, the control unit H determines that the deep-fried food cooking at the oil temperature setting of 180 ° C. newly set for the standard burner 1b overlaps with the set cooking conditions already set for the high thermal power burner 1a. Then, a buzzer notification indicating that the set cooking condition newly commanded to the standard burner 1b is not accepted is performed using the buzzer 35 (step 224), and normal combustion control is performed (step 225).

<Third Embodiment>
The flowchart shown in FIG. 8 is a third embodiment of a specific example of the combustion control in step 200. In the present embodiment, the control unit H holds cooking condition information that can be executed in each of the plurality of heating means K, and instructs the specific heating means K among the plurality of heating means K by the cooking condition command means C.

It differs from the control flowchart.

  The cooking condition information is information determined according to the performance of each heating means K, and the upper limit value and lower limit value of the amount of heat that can be output by the high thermal power burner 1a when the opening degree of the flow control valve 18 is adjusted, and the standard burner 1b. The set cooking conditions that can be executed using the high thermal power burner 1a and the set cooking conditions that can be executed using the standard burner 1b are determined according to the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the output heat quantity. For example, since the lower limit value of the amount of heat that can be output from the high-heat burner 1a is relatively large, the cooking condition is set to be extinguished after maintaining the boiling state for 5 minutes in boiling water, sufficiently removing the chalk, and the cooking container after completion of cooking When trying to execute a set cooking condition that requires a small output heat amount, such as a set cooking condition that keeps the cooking object in a heat-retaining state, using the high thermal power burner 1a, the heating amount may be excessive.

  In step 230, the control part H determines whether the burner used for cooking is selected. Next, in step 231, the control unit H cooks the cooking object using any one of the burners selected by instructing the heating start using the heating state adjusting unit 28 and the grill setting panel 70. Then, it is determined whether or not the set cooking conditions have been commanded. In step 232, when the set cooking condition is not instructed, the control unit H performs the heating operation of the burner according to instructions from the operator using the heating state adjusting unit 28, the burner setting input panel 50, and the grill setting input panel 70. Normal combustion control is performed to control (step 235). On the other hand, when it is determined in step 231 that the set cooking condition has been commanded, the control unit H determines whether or not the newly commanded set cooking condition can be executed in light of the cooking condition information (step). 232).

  When the newly set command cooking condition is not executable, the control unit H does not accept the commanded set cooking condition, performs a buzzer notification using the buzzer 35 in step 234, and newly issues a command. The operator is informed that the set cooking conditions are not executable, and normal combustion control is performed (step 235). On the other hand, when the newly commanded set cooking condition can be executed, in step 233, automatic combustion control is performed to automatically control the heating operation of the burner according to the set cooking condition.

  For example, when the rotary operation unit 31a is pushed to start heating the high heating power burner 1a, and the setting input of the “rice cooking” button 53a, the function setting button 53d, and the function setting button 53e is performed on the setting input panel 50, The control unit H determines in step 230 that the high heating power burner 1a has been selected, and in step 231 determines that the set cooking condition of keeping warm after cooking the porridge is instructed. Further, in step 232, the control unit H determines that the set cooking condition of heat retention is not executable in the high thermal power burner 1a, and does not accept the newly set command cooking condition for the high thermal power burner 1a. The buzzer notification shown is performed using the buzzer 35 (step 234), and normal combustion control is performed (step 235).

<Fourth embodiment>
The flowchart shown in FIG. 9 is a fourth embodiment of a specific example of the combustion control in step 200. In this embodiment, the setting cooking conditions instructed by the controller H to the specific heating means K among the plurality of heating means K by the cooking condition instruction means C have already been set for the other heating means K. In some cases, the set cooking conditions that have been commanded are not accepted, and cooking condition information that can be executed by each of the plurality of heating means K is held. When the set cooking conditions commanded for the specific heating means K are not executable in light of the cooking condition information, the first setting is performed in that the commanded cooking conditions are not accepted. It differs from the flowchart of the combustion control demonstrated in 3rd Embodiment from the form.

  In step 240, the control part H determines whether the burner used for cooking is selected. Next, in step 241, the control unit H cooks the cooking object using any one of the burners selected by the heating start command using the heating state adjusting unit 28 and the grill setting panel 70. Then, it is determined whether or not the set cooking conditions have been commanded. And the control part H controls the heating operation of a burner according to the instruction | command by the operator using the heating state adjustment part 28, the setting input panel 50 for burners, and the setting input panel 70 for grills, when setting cooking conditions are not commanded. Normal combustion control is performed (step 246). On the other hand, when it is determined in step 241 that the set cooking condition has been commanded, the control unit H compares the newly set command cooking condition with the set cooking condition already set for another burner. Then, it is determined whether or not the newly set set cooking condition overlaps with another set cooking condition (step 242).

  When the newly commanded set cooking condition overlaps with another set cooking condition that has been set, the control unit H does not accept the commanded set cooking condition, and uses the buzzer 35 to notify the buzzer in step 245. Then, the newly instructed set cooking condition is informed to the operator that other set cooking conditions have been set, and normal combustion control is performed (step 246). On the other hand, when the newly commanded set cooking condition does not overlap with the other set cooking conditions that have been set, the control unit H can execute the newly commanded set cooking condition in each of the plurality of heating means K. It is determined whether it can be performed in light of the cooking condition information (step 243).

  Then, when the newly set command cooking condition cannot be executed, the control unit H does not accept the commanded set cooking condition, and performs a buzzer notification using the buzzer 35 in step 245 to newly execute the command. The operator is informed that the set cooking conditions are not executable, and normal combustion control is performed (step 246). On the other hand, when the newly commanded set cooking condition can be executed, automatic combustion control is performed in step 244 to automatically control the heating operation of the burner according to the set cooking condition.

  For example, the rotation operation unit 31a is pushed to start heating the high heating power burner 1a, and after the setting input of the “fried food” button 51a and the function setting button 51c is performed on the setting input panel 50, a new rotation operation unit When the reference burner 31b is pressed to start heating the standard burner 1b and the setting input of the “hot water” button 52a and the function setting button 52b is performed on the setting input panel 50, the control unit H, in step 240, reads the standard burner 1b. Is selected, and it is determined in step 241 that when a boiling of water is detected, a hot water setting for automatically extinguishing is instructed. Next, in step 242, the control unit H sets the hot water setting newly set for the standard burner 1b to the set cooking conditions already set for the other burners (180 set for the high thermal power burner 1a). It is determined that it does not overlap with fried food cooking at oil temperature setting of ° C. Further, in step 243, the control unit H determines that the water heater setting that automatically extinguishes as soon as the boiling of water newly commanded to the standard burner 1b is detected can be executed in the standard burner 1b. The control unit H automatically extinguishes fire as soon as it senses that the water in the cooking vessel has boiled while monitoring the temperature of the cooking vessel heated by the standard burner 1b with the temperature sensor 10b for the standard burner. Thus, automatic combustion control is performed to adjust the heating power by adjusting the opening of the flow control valve 18 (step 244).

<Another embodiment>
<1>
In the said 1st Embodiment and the said 2nd Embodiment, the control part H performs automatic combustion control irrespective of whether the commanded setting cooking conditions are executable using the selected heating means K or not. Since it is configured as described above, there is a possibility that the set cooking conditions instructed may not be executed reliably, for example, even if trying to set cooking conditions for cooking rice and keeping warm using the high thermal power burner 1a, There is also a possibility that the minimum output heat amount of the high thermal power burner 1a becomes excessive to keep the heat. In such a case, the control unit H holds cooking condition information that can be executed in each of the plurality of heating means K, and is suitable for executing the set cooking conditions commanded by the cooking condition command means C. May be selected and displayed from among the plurality of heating means K based on the cooking condition information.

  For example, when the rotary operation unit 31a is pushed to start heating the high heating power burner 1a, and the setting input of the “rice cooking” button 53a, the function setting button 53d, and the function setting button 53e is performed on the setting input panel 50, The control part H determines with the high thermal power burner 1a having been selected, and determines with the setting cooking conditions to heat-reserve after cooking the porridge being instructed. At this time, the control unit H performs cooking of the porridge using the high thermal power burner 1a while lighting the high thermal power burner button lamp 63a to indicate that the high thermal power burner 1a is in use. Then, when the cooking of the porridge is finished and the stage for keeping the heat of the porridge is reached, the control unit H extinguishes the high thermal power burner 1a and turns off the high thermal power burner button lamp 63a, instead of the standard burner button. By blinking the lamp 63b, it is displayed to the operator that the standard burner 1b should be used instead of the high thermal power burner 1a. And the control part H detects that the operator replaced the cooking container from the high-heat-power burner 1a with the standard burner 1b with the temperature sensor 10b for standard burners, and the standard burner 1b is ignited automatically or by the operator. When the heating start command is received, the set cooking condition for keeping the cooking container warm is executed using the standard burner 1b, and the standard burner button lamp 63b is turned on.

  As described above, since the heating means K suitable for executing the commanded set cooking conditions is selected and displayed, the operator of the heating cooker can cook the set cooking conditions. The heating means K suitable for the execution of the cooking device can be used, so that the object to be cooked can be cooked appropriately.

In the said embodiment, although the heating cooker which concerns on this invention was demonstrated taking the gas stove as an example, you may replace with other heating cookers, such as an electromagnetic cooker. In that case, an apparatus for generating an eddy current in an object to be heated such as a cooking vessel is used as the heating means K instead of the gas combustion type heating means described in the above embodiment.
