Description

本発明は、複数の加熱コイルによって被加熱物を誘導加熱する誘導加熱調理器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an induction heating cooker that induction-heats an object to be heated by a plurality of heating coils.

従来、この種の誘導加熱調理器は、同心円上に配置され、径の異なる内側コイルと外側コイルを備え、内側コイルと外側コイルに交互に誘導加熱電力を投入する誘導加熱調理器が開示されている。特許文献1の誘導加熱調理器では、内側コイルが被加熱物を加熱しているときは、外側コイルは停止しており、外側コイルが被加熱物を加熱しているときは、内側コイルは停止している。これにより、被加熱物内の被調理物に対流が生じて、熱が被調理物全体にいきわたる(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, this type of induction heating cooker has been disclosed in which an induction heating cooker is arranged that is concentrically arranged and includes inner and outer coils having different diameters, and alternately supplies induction heating power to the inner and outer coils.

(実施の形態1)
図1は、本発明の第1の実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器のブロック図を示すものである。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an induction heating cooker according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

図1において、101は被調理物、102は被加熱物、103は加熱コイル、104はインバータ、105は制御部、106は操作部、107はトッププレートである。   In FIG. 1, 101 is an object to be cooked, 102 is an object to be heated, 103 is a heating coil, 104 is an inverter, 105 is a control unit, 106 is an operation unit, and 107 is a top plate.

なお、被加熱物102には鍋、加熱コイル103には同一平面上に概同一サイズの4つの円環状のコイルを近接して並べ4つのコイルで1つの被加熱物102を加熱する構成、制御部105、操作部106にはマイクロコンピュータ、トッププレート107にはガラ
ス板を用いることでこの構成を容易に実現できる。
Note that the heated object 102 is a pan, and the heating coil 103 has four annular coils of approximately the same size arranged close to each other on the same plane. This configuration can be easily realized by using a microcomputer for the unit 105 and the operation unit 106 and a glass plate for the top plate 107.

以上のように構成された誘導加熱調理器について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the induction heating cooking appliance comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

まず、使用者が被調理物101を被加熱物102に入れ、被調理物101の温め開始を指示すると、制御部105はインバータ104を動作させ、加熱コイル103に高周波磁界を発生させ被加熱物102の誘導加熱を行う。この際、図2に示すように、加熱コイル103を構成する半分の面積を占めるコイル(例えば、1と4のコイル)に誘導加熱を行うと、被加熱物内102の誘導加熱されている部分の比重が軽くなる。1と4のコイルで最も被加熱物102を加熱するのは、白抜きの矢印で示したコイル部の中央部であり、この部分に被調理物101に対流の基となる上昇の流れが生じる。そして、誘導加熱による熱は熱伝導でも被加熱物102を伝わっていくため、上昇した被調理物101が物理的に下降し易いのは誘導加熱されている部分から最も遠い場所ということになる。したがって、被加熱物102内の被調理物101に生じる対流の流路は図2に示すような被調理物101内の半面以上を通る大きな対流ループとなる。   First, when the user puts the object to be cooked 101 into the object to be heated 102 and instructs to start heating the object to be cooked 101, the control unit 105 operates the inverter 104 to generate a high-frequency magnetic field in the heating coil 103 and to heat the object to be heated. 102 induction heating is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, when induction heating is performed on a coil (for example, coils 1 and 4) that occupies a half area constituting the heating coil 103, a portion of the object to be heated 102 that is induction heated. The specific gravity of becomes lighter. The object to be heated 102 is heated most by the coils 1 and 4 in the central portion of the coil portion indicated by the white arrow, and an upward flow that is a basis for convection is generated in the object 101 in this portion. . And since the heat | fever by induction heating is transmitted to the to-be-heated object 102 also by heat conduction, it will be a place farthest from the part currently being induction-heated that the to-be-heated to-be-cooked 101 tends to fall physically. Therefore, the flow path of the convection generated in the object to be cooked 101 in the object to be heated 102 becomes a large convection loop passing through more than half of the surface in the object to be cooked 101 as shown in FIG.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、複数の加熱コイル103のうち、半数以上、全部未満の加熱コイル103に誘導加熱電力を供給し、残りの加熱コイルに誘導加熱電力を供給しないことにより、被加熱物102である鍋の誘導加熱部分を対流の上昇部、誘導加熱部分から遠い部分を下降部として被加熱物102内の被調理物101に大きな流路ループを持つ対流を発生させることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the induction heating power is supplied to the heating coils 103 that are more than half and less than all of the plurality of heating coils 103, and the induction heating power is not supplied to the remaining heating coils. The convection having a large channel loop is generated in the object to be cooked 101 in the object to be heated 102 using the induction heating part of the pan as the object to be heated 102 as the convection rising part and the part far from the induction heating part as the falling part. Can do.

なお、被調理物101が高粘性で対流が発生しない場合でも、被加熱物102である鍋の半面だけを加熱して調理を行い、鍋の熱伝導利用により残り半分を予熱領域として使うことが可能である。   In addition, even when the to-be-cooked object 101 is highly viscous and convection does not occur, cooking is performed by heating only the half surface of the pan, which is the object to be heated 102, and the other half is used as a preheating region by using heat conduction of the pan. Is possible.

(実施の形態2)
図3は、本発明の第2の実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器のブロック図を示すものである。図3において301は誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルと、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを、調理中において変更する制御部である。なお、制御部301にはマイクロコンピュータを用いることでこの構成を容易に実現できる。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of an induction heating cooker according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 301 denotes a control unit that changes a heating coil that supplies induction heating power and a heating coil that does not supply induction heating power during cooking. Note that this configuration can be easily realized by using a microcomputer for the control unit 301.

以上のように構成された誘導加熱調理器について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。なお、図面において、実施の形態1と同一動作を示す部分は同一番号を付与している。   About the induction heating cooking appliance comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to portions showing the same operations as those in the first embodiment.

実施の形態2における誘導加熱調理器の基本的な動作は、実施の形態1と同様であるが、実施の形態2においては誘導加熱を行う部分を所定時間毎(例えば10秒毎)に順番に変更する動作を行う。このように誘導加熱を行う部分を変動させることで、被調理物101内に発生する対流ループの方向を周期的に変動させることが可能となり、被調理物101内に箸などで行うような物理的な攪拌効果を発生することができる。ここで、被調理物101がジャガイモなどの固形物と出し汁のような液体から構成される場合は、固形物を鍋内で転がし、出し汁を浸透させるような効果を得ることができる。   The basic operation of the induction heating cooker according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. However, in the second embodiment, the portions that perform induction heating are sequentially arranged every predetermined time (for example, every 10 seconds). Perform the action to change. By changing the portion to be induction-heated in this way, the direction of the convection loop generated in the object to be cooked 101 can be periodically changed. An effective stirring effect can be generated. Here, when the to-be-cooked object 101 is comprised from solids, such as a potato, and liquids, such as a soup, the effect which rolls a solid in a pan and permeates the soup can be acquired.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、制御部301が誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルと、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを、調理中において変更することにより、電力が供給されている部分を移動させて大きな対流ループの方向を鉛直方向に対し垂直な方向に移動して攪拌効果を発生させ、調理物の乳化を促進したり、溶解可能な固形物の溶解を早めたり、液体内にある固体の調理物を物理的に動かしてかき混ぜたりする効果を得ることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, electric power is supplied by changing the heating coil that the control unit 301 supplies induction heating power and the heating coil that does not supply induction heating power during cooking. Move the part to move the direction of the large convection loop in the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction to generate a stirring effect, promote emulsification of the cooked food, accelerate the dissolution of dissolvable solids, It is possible to obtain the effect of physically moving the solid food in the container and stirring it.

なお本実施の形態では複数の加熱コイルを4つとして説明したが、加熱コイルは4つに限定されない。   In the present embodiment, a plurality of heating coils are described as four, but the number of heating coils is not limited to four.

ここで、図4で示すように、複数の加熱コイル103を4つの加熱コイルとして、誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルを2つとし、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを2つとした場合には、底が円形の被加熱物102を円形の加熱コイルでカバーする場合に最小限の加熱コイル数とした安価な構成で鉛直方向に対し垂直な方向への対流の移動を行うことができる。   Here, as shown in FIG. 4, when the plurality of heating coils 103 are four heating coils, two heating coils that supply induction heating power are used, and two heating coils that do not supply induction heating power are used. When the object to be heated 102 having a circular bottom is covered with a circular heating coil, convection can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction with an inexpensive configuration with a minimum number of heating coils.

また、図5で示すように、複数の加熱コイル103を4つの加熱コイルとして、誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルを3つとし、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを1つとした場合には、同一エネルギーを投入する際の加熱コイル1個あたりの電力負担を減らすことで損失を抑え効率よく加熱を行うことができる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, when the plurality of heating coils 103 are set as four heating coils, the number of heating coils that supply induction heating power is three, and the number of heating coils that do not supply induction heating power is one, By reducing the power burden per heating coil when the same energy is input, the loss can be suppressed and heating can be performed efficiently.

また、図6(a)で示すように、複数の加熱コイル103は6つの加熱コイルとして、誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルを3つとし、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを3つとした場合には、鉛直方向に対し垂直な方向への対流の移動をより細かく行うことができる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the plurality of heating coils 103 are six heating coils, three heating coils that supply induction heating power are used, and three heating coils that do not supply induction heating power are used. Therefore, the movement of the convection in the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction can be performed more finely.

また、図6(b)で示すように、複数の加熱コイル103は6つの加熱コイルとして、誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルを4つとし、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを2つとした場合には、同一エネルギーを投入する際の加熱コイル1個あたりの電力負担を減らした上で、鉛直方向に対し垂直な方向への対流の移動をより細かく行うことができる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the plurality of heating coils 103 are six heating coils, four heating coils that supply induction heating power are used, and two heating coils that do not supply induction heating power are used. Therefore, it is possible to more precisely move the convection in the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction while reducing the power burden per heating coil when the same energy is input.

また、制御部301が、誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルと、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを、調理中において変更する際に、総電力量は一定となるように電力変動を制御することにより、被調理物に与えるエネルギーの総和に変動がなくなるため、加熱部移動を行わない場合と調理感覚を概同一とすることができる。   Moreover, when the control part 301 changes the heating coil which supplies induction heating power, and the heating coil which does not supply induction heating power during cooking, it controls electric power fluctuation | variation so that total electric energy may become fixed. By this, since there is no change in the total energy given to the food, the cooking sensation can be made substantially the same as when the heating unit is not moved.

また、制御部301が、誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルと、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを、調理中において徐々に変更する(例えば非変更時間15秒、変更時間3秒)ことにより、加熱部移動時における対流方向変化の際に無駄な乱流の発生を抑え、滑らかに対流方向移動を行うことができる。   Further, the control unit 301 gradually changes the heating coil that supplies the induction heating power and the heating coil that does not supply the induction heating power during cooking (for example, the non-change time 15 seconds, the change time 3 seconds), Generation of useless turbulence can be suppressed when the convection direction is changed when the heating unit is moved, and the convection direction can be moved smoothly.

なお、図4、5、6の図面の加熱コイルは円環状の加熱コイルであるが、簡素化して示している。   The heating coils in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 are annular heating coils, but are shown in a simplified manner.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 7 shows a block diagram of an induction heating cooker according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 701 denotes a control unit that changes a heating coil that supplies induction heating power and a heating coil that does not supply induction heating power during cooking, and is generated by adjacent heating coils when supplying induction heating power. The direction of current when the induction heating power is applied to the heating coil is determined so that the magnetic flux to be generated is in the same direction. Note that this configuration can be easily realized by using a microcomputer for the control unit 701.

以上のように構成された誘導加熱調理器について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。なお、図面において、実施の形態1、実施の形態2と同一動作を示す部分は同一番号を付与している。   About the induction heating cooking appliance comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to portions showing the same operations as those in the first and second embodiments.

実施の形態3における誘導加熱調理器の基本的な動作は、実施の形態1、実施の形態2と同様であるが、図8で示すように、誘導加熱を行う際に、隣り合う加熱コイルで発生する磁束が同一方向となるように加熱コイルに誘導加熱電力を与える際の電流方向が決定される。図8(a)に示すように、同一方向に巻かれた隣り合うコイルの場合は同位相の電流を流すと近接している部分では逆方向に流れることになる。したがって、図8(b)のようにコイル1、コイル2に高周波電流において逆位相となるような電流を流すことで、近接した部分で相互に影響し合って発生する磁束を強め合う方向に揃えることができ、結果として図8(c)のように磁束の強調効果による高温部を作り出すことができる。誘導加熱の強さは磁束量に比例するため、この部分は他の部位に比べ高温となり、対流の基となる上昇部分をより強くすることができる。   The basic operation of the induction heating cooker in the third embodiment is the same as that in the first and second embodiments. However, when induction heating is performed as shown in FIG. The direction of current when the induction heating power is applied to the heating coil is determined so that the generated magnetic flux is in the same direction. As shown in FIG. 8 (a), in the case of adjacent coils wound in the same direction, when currents of the same phase are passed, they flow in the opposite direction in the adjacent portions. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8B, by applying a current that is in reverse phase in the high-frequency current to the coil 1 and the coil 2, the magnetic fluxes generated by influencing each other in close proximity are aligned in the direction of strengthening. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8C, it is possible to create a high temperature portion due to the magnetic flux enhancement effect. Since the strength of induction heating is proportional to the amount of magnetic flux, this portion is at a higher temperature than other portions, and the rising portion that is the basis of convection can be made stronger.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、制御部701が、隣り合う加熱コイルで発生する磁束が同一方向となるように加熱コイル103に誘導加熱電力を与える際の電流方向を決定することで、対流の基となる強い上昇の流れを発生させ対流をより強くすることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 701 determines the current direction when applying the induction heating power to the heating coil 103 so that the magnetic fluxes generated in adjacent heating coils are in the same direction. The convection can be strengthened by generating a strong upward flow that is the basis of convection.

なお、本実施の形態の動作は、操作部106から選択される被調理物101の調理メニューに合わせて自動的に本動作を行うようにしてもよいことは言うまでもない。   In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that this operation | movement of this Embodiment may be made to perform this operation | movement automatically according to the cooking menu of the to-be-cooked object 101 selected from the operation part 106. FIG.

(実施の形態4)
図9は、本発明の第4の実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器のブロック図を示すものである。図9において901は誘導加熱電力を供給する加熱コイルと、誘導加熱電力を供給しない加熱コイルを、調理中において変更する制御部であり、誘導加熱電力を供給する際は、隣り合う加熱コイルで発生する磁束が打ち消しあうように加熱コイルに誘導加熱電力を与える際の電流方向を決定する。なお、制御部901にはマイクロコンピュータを用いることでこの構成を容易に実現できる。
(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 9 shows a block diagram of an induction heating cooker according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 9, reference numeral 901 denotes a control unit that changes the heating coil that supplies induction heating power and the heating coil that does not supply induction heating power during cooking, and is generated by adjacent heating coils when supplying the induction heating power. The direction of current when the induction heating power is applied to the heating coil is determined so that the magnetic flux to be canceled out. Note that this configuration can be easily realized by using a microcomputer for the control unit 901.

以上のように構成された誘導加熱調理器について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。なお、図面において、実施の形態1、実施の形態2と同一動作を示す部分は同一番号を付与している。   About the induction heating cooking appliance comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to portions showing the same operations as those in the first and second embodiments.

実施の形態4における誘導加熱調理器の基本的な動作は、実施の形態1、実施の形態2と同様であるが、図10に示すように、誘導加熱を行う際に、隣り合う加熱コイルで発生する磁束が打ち消しあうように加熱コイルに誘導加熱電力を与える際の電流方向が決定される。図10(a)に示すように同一方向に巻かれた隣り合うコイルの場合は逆位相の電流を流すと近接している部分では同方向に流れることになる。したがって、図10(b)のようにコイル1、コイル2に高周波電流において同位相となるような電流を流すことで、近接した部分で相互に影響し合って発生する磁束を打ち消し合う方向に揃えることができる。結果として図10(c)のように、コイルの近接部においては、磁束の打ち消し効果により誘導加熱量は抑えられるが、隣り合う両側の加熱コイルの発熱部からの伝熱効果は存在するため、コイル2つ分の発熱量が適度に伝えられることにより、誘導加熱電力を与えられている加熱コイル全体に均一な発熱分布状態を作り出すことができる。   The basic operation of the induction heating cooker in the fourth embodiment is the same as that in the first and second embodiments. However, as shown in FIG. The current direction when applying the induction heating power to the heating coil is determined so that the generated magnetic flux cancels each other. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), in the case of adjacent coils wound in the same direction, when currents having opposite phases are flowed, the adjacent portions flow in the same direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the currents having the same phase in the high-frequency current are supplied to the coils 1 and 2, so that the magnetic fluxes generated by the mutual influences in the adjacent portions are aligned in the direction of canceling each other. be able to. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10C, in the proximity portion of the coil, the induction heating amount is suppressed by the magnetic flux canceling effect, but there is a heat transfer effect from the heating portions of the adjacent heating coils on both sides, By appropriately transmitting the heat generation amount for the two coils, a uniform heat generation distribution state can be created in the entire heating coil to which induction heating power is applied.

これにより高温部のない均一な発熱部となり、対流を発生させる場合は、焦げ付きなどが発生しにくい状態で対流を発生させることができるようになる。また、被調理物101の特性が対流を発生しにくいものである場合は、焦げ付きを抑えることができる。   Thereby, it becomes a uniform heat generating part without a high temperature part, and when convection is generated, it becomes possible to generate convection in a state where it is difficult to cause scorching. Moreover, when the characteristic of the to-be-cooked object 101 is a thing which does not generate | occur | produce a convection easily, scorching can be suppressed.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、制御部901が隣り合う加熱コイルで発生する磁束が打ち消しあうように加熱コイル103に誘導加熱電力を与える際の電流方向を決定することにより、定常的に加熱すると焦げが発生してしまうような(対流が生じにくい
)高粘性の調理物に対し、加熱ゆらぎを与え、熱伝導を促進しながらあたためを行うことができる。
As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 901 determines the current direction when applying the induction heating power to the heating coil 103 so that the magnetic fluxes generated in the adjacent heating coils cancel each other, so that the steady state is obtained. Heating can be applied to a highly viscous cooked product that is likely to be burnt when heated to a high temperature (i.e., convection is unlikely to occur), and warming can be performed while promoting heat conduction.

なお、本実施の形態の動作は、操作部106から選択される被調理物101の調理メニューに合わせて自動的に本動作を行うようにしてもよいことは言うまでもない。   In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that this operation | movement of this Embodiment may be made to perform this operation | movement automatically according to the cooking menu of the to-be-cooked object 101 selected from the operation part 106. FIG.

(実施の形態5)
本実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器の基本的な動作は、実施の形態1、実施の形態2、実施の形態3、実施の形態4と同様であるが、使用者が調理するメニューに合わせて味選択キーにより自由に味を選択することが可能となる。図には示していないが、操作部に味選択キーとして、たとえば熟成度を選択できるボタンがあり、熟成度小のときは、調理メニューとしてミネストローネのように小さくカットとした食材を用いた、粘性の低い煮込み調理に対応し、熟成度中のときは、ポトフなどのように熟成度小のメニューと比較すると大きくカットした食材を用いた、粘性の低い煮込み調理に対応し、熟成度大のときは、調理メニューとしてカレーやクリームシチューのように粘性度の高い煮込み調理や煮崩れさせたくないような調理メニューに対応できるような動作を実施する。
(Embodiment 5)
The basic operation of the induction heating cooker in the present embodiment is the same as in the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment, and the fourth embodiment, but according to the menu that the user cooks. It becomes possible to freely select a taste by the taste selection key. Although not shown in the figure, as a taste selection key on the operation unit, for example, there is a button for selecting the maturity level, and when the maturity level is low, the cooking menu is made of a small cut ingredient such as minestrone. Corresponding to stewed cooking with low viscosity, when it is at the maturity level, it corresponds to stewed cooking with low viscosity using ingredients that are largely cut compared to a low maturity menu such as Potov, and when the maturity level is large Performs cooking operations such as curry and cream stew as cooking menus that can be cooked with high viscosity and that do not want to be boiled.

ここで、ポトフを調理した場合を例にとって、本実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器の動作を説明する。   Here, the operation of the induction heating cooker in the present embodiment will be described by taking as an example the case of cooking Potov.

まず、被調理物を被加熱物内に収納し、熟成度中ボタンを押すことにより調理が開始される。このときの動作は、実施の形態2と同様の動作が実施されることとなり、調理中誘導加熱を行う部分が、このときは10秒毎の一定時間毎に順番に変動する動作を行う。調理が終了し、得られたポトフの煮汁の官能評価旨味の結果と煮汁中に含まれる遊離アミノ酸量の結果を表1に示す。   First, cooking is started by storing the object to be cooked in the object to be heated and pressing the middle maturity button. The operation at this time is the same as that of the second embodiment, and the portion that performs induction heating during cooking performs an operation that varies in order at regular intervals of 10 seconds. Table 1 shows the results of sensory evaluation umami and the amount of free amino acids contained in the broth after cooking was completed.

Figure 0005233842
Figure 0005233842

表1により、実施の形態5の誘導加熱調理器で得られた煮汁は、従来の誘導加熱調理器
で得られたものより旨味が強く感じられおいしくなっていた。また、表1より実施の形態5の誘導加熱調理器で得られた煮汁中に含まれる総遊離アミノ酸量は従来の誘導加熱調理器で得られたものと比較すると増量していた。このことから、旨味が増量した要因は旨味を呈する遊離アミノ酸の増量によるところが大きいと考えられる。
According to Table 1, the boiled juice obtained with the induction heating cooker of Embodiment 5 was more delicious and tasted stronger than that obtained with the conventional induction heating cooker. Moreover, the total amount of free amino acids contained in the broth obtained with the induction heating cooker of Embodiment 5 from Table 1 was increased as compared with that obtained with the conventional induction heating cooker. From this, it is considered that the factor that increased the umami is largely due to the increase in the free amino acid that exhibits the umami.

本実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器で調理したとき、旨味が増量したのは以下の理由によると考えられる。   When cooking with the induction heating cooker in this embodiment, the reason why the umami increased was considered to be due to the following reason.

従来の誘導加熱調理器では、調理中、図11に示したように外側コイルと内側コイルを同時に作動させないことで、被加熱物内部の被調理物に対流を発生させ、熱を被調理物全体にいきわたらせるようになっている。   In the conventional induction heating cooker, during cooking, by not operating the outer coil and the inner coil simultaneously as shown in FIG. 11, convection is generated in the cooking object inside the heating object, and heat is transferred to the entire cooking object. It is supposed to be spread over.

しかし、従来の動作ではその場での小さな流路しか形成されず、ポトフのように煮汁と大きくカットした野菜や肉類からなる被調理物に場合、その対流により被加熱物内部で被調理物が攪拌されるような物理的な作用は生じにくい。   However, in the conventional operation, only a small flow path on the spot is formed, and in the case of a food to be cooked consisting of boiled juice and vegetables and meat that are largely cut like Potov, the food to be cooked is heated inside the object to be heated by convection. The physical action of being stirred is unlikely to occur.

一方、本実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器では、誘導加熱を行う部分を10秒毎のように一定時間毎に変動させることで、被調理物内に発生する対流ループの方向を周期的に変動させることが可能となり、被調理物としてポトフのような煮汁と大きくカットした野菜や肉からなる調理物を調理したときでも、被加熱部内部の被調理物の攪拌効果が生じ、均一な加熱が実現できる、そしてさらにその攪拌効果により、被調理物は、その細胞に損傷を受けやすくなり、肉の場合は、細胞内部にある遊離アミノ酸が煮汁に溶出しやすくなったと考えられる。   On the other hand, in the induction heating cooker according to the present embodiment, the direction of the convection loop generated in the object to be cooked is periodically changed by changing the portion that performs induction heating at regular intervals such as every 10 seconds. Even when cooking food consisting of boiled juice such as potov and large cut vegetables and meat as the food to be cooked, the stirring effect of the food to be cooked inside the heated part occurs, and uniform heating is achieved It can be realized, and further, due to the stirring effect, the cooked food is easily damaged by the cells, and in the case of meat, it is considered that free amino acids inside the cells are easily eluted into the broth.

さらに、本実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器のカレーを調理するときの動作を説明する。   Furthermore, the operation | movement when cooking the curry of the induction heating cooking appliance in this Embodiment is demonstrated.

まず、被調理物を被加熱物内に収納し、熟成度高ボタンを押すことにより調理が開始される。このときの動作は、実施の形態4と同様の動作が実施されることとなり、高温部のない均一な発熱を行うことが可能となる。カレーのように粘性が高い煮汁とカットした野菜、肉からなる調理物の場合、長時間煮込んでも、焦げが生じるような高温部がないことから、焦げつかないことはもちろんのこと、肉のタンパク質の高温による乾燥も抑制され、硬く、ぱさぱさすることなく、食感もよい状態で長時間煮込むことができる。   First, cooking is started by storing the object to be cooked in the object to be heated and pressing the maturity degree high button. The operation at this time is the same as that of the fourth embodiment, and uniform heat generation without a high temperature part can be performed. In the case of cooked foods made of boiled juice, cut vegetables, and meat like curry, there is no high-temperature part that can burn even if it is boiled for a long time, so of course it does not burn, but protein of meat Drying due to high temperature is suppressed, and it is hard and crisp, and can be boiled for a long time with a good texture.

以上のように、本実施の形態における誘導加熱調理器においては、使用者が調理するメニューに合わせて味選択キーにより自由に味を選択することができ、各味に対応した動作が実現できる。   As described above, in the induction heating cooker according to the present embodiment, the taste can be freely selected by the taste selection key in accordance with the menu to be cooked by the user, and an operation corresponding to each taste can be realized.

以上のように、本発明にかかる誘導加熱調理器は、複数の加熱コイルのうち、半数以上、全部未満の加熱コイルに誘導加熱電力を供給し、残りの加熱コイルに誘導加熱電力を供給しないことにより、被加熱物である鍋の誘導加熱部分を対流の上昇部、誘導加熱部分から遠い部分を下降部として被加熱物内の被調理物に大きな流路ループを持つ対流を発生させることができる。また、被調理物が高粘性で対流が発生しない場合でも、被加熱物である鍋の半面だけを加熱して調理を行い、鍋の熱伝導利用により残り半分を予熱領域として使うことができる。   As described above, the induction heating cooker according to the present invention supplies the induction heating power to the heating coils of the half or more and less than all of the plurality of heating coils, and does not supply the induction heating power to the remaining heating coils. Thus, the convection having a large flow path loop can be generated in the cooking object in the heated object, with the induction heating part of the pan to be heated as the rising part of the convection and the part far from the induction heating part as the falling part. . Further, even when the food to be cooked is highly viscous and convection does not occur, cooking can be performed by heating only the half surface of the pan, which is the material to be heated, and the other half can be used as a preheating region by utilizing the heat conduction of the pan.

この動作は、誘導加熱コイルによる加熱部移動を、ガスなどにより発生する炎を直接被加熱物に当てる位置を移動することで実現すれば、誘導加熱機器以外にも適用することができる。   This operation can be applied to devices other than the induction heating device as long as the movement of the heating unit by the induction heating coil is realized by moving the position where the flame generated by gas or the like directly hits the object to be heated.
