The specific low-power radio can be used without the need for

The operation of the cooking system configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 3 is a communication sequence diagram illustrating the operation of the cooking system according to the first embodiment.

  When the heating cooker 100 is turned on by turning on the power switch 5a, the control unit 9 waits until the heating power set by the operation unit 5 is input. For example, when the heating power of the left heating unit 4 a is set, the control unit 9 generates a driving signal according to the set heating power and outputs the driving signal to the first wireless adapter 10.

  When a drive signal is input, the first wireless adapter 10 transmits the drive signal to the controller 300 by wireless communication. When the drive signal from the first wireless adapter 10 is received, the controller 300 transfers the drive signal to the second wireless adapter 22 by wireless communication.

  When the second wireless adapter 22 receives the drive signal from the controller 300, the second wireless adapter 22 outputs the drive signal to the ventilation fan control unit. When the drive signal is input, the ventilation fan control unit drives the motor 24 to rotate the sirocco fan, and controls the drive of the motor 24 so that the air volume according to the drive signal (set thermal power) is obtained.

  On the other hand, the control unit 9 determines whether or not the heating operation in the left heating unit 4a has been completed, and outputs a stop signal to the first wireless adapter 10 when detecting the end of the heating operation. When the stop signal is input, the first wireless adapter 10 transmits the stop signal to the controller 300 by wireless communication. When the stop signal from the first wireless adapter 10 is received, the controller 300 transfers the stop signal to the second wireless adapter 22 by wireless communication.

  When the second wireless adapter 22 receives a stop signal from the controller 300, the second wireless adapter 22 outputs the stop signal to the ventilation fan control unit. When the stop signal is input, the ventilation fan control unit stops driving the motor 24 and ends the ventilation during the heating operation in the left heating unit 4a. Note that the driving of the motor 24 may be stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed since the stop signal was input.

Next, the control unit 9 outputs an operation signal notifying the operation of the ventilation fan device 200 to the first wireless adapter 10 and causes the controller 300 to transmit the operation signal from the first wireless adapter 10 to the controller 300 by wireless communication.

  When the infrared rays from the LEDs 16a and 16b are received, the infrared light receiving unit 25 converts the received infrared rays into a drive signal, and outputs the drive signal to the ventilation fan control unit. The ventilating fan control unit controls the driving of the motor 24 based on the input driving signal, and transmits a detection signal notifying the reception of infrared rays to the controller 300 by wireless communication.

  The controller 300 starts counting time when the operation signal is received, and when the detection signal is received before the count time t2 has passed the set time t1, the controller 300 transmits the detection signal to the first wireless adapter 10. To the control unit 9. In addition, when the detection signal is not received even after the count time t2 has passed the set time t1, the controller 300 retransmits the drive signal from the first wireless adapter 10 to the control unit 9 as an infrared light reception error.

Infrared rays corresponding to the drive signal are irradiated. At this time, infrared rays from the LEDs 16a and 16b pass through the top plate 2 and are irradiated upward.

  On the other hand, when the infrared rays from the LEDs 16a and 16b are received, the infrared light receiver 25 converts the infrared rays into a drive signal based on the infrared rays, and outputs the drive signal to the ventilation fan controller. When the drive signal is input, the ventilation fan control unit drives the motor 24 to rotate the sirocco fan, and controls the drive of the motor 24 so that the air volume according to the drive signal (set thermal power) is obtained. Next, the ventilating fan control unit transmits a detection signal notifying the reception of infrared rays to the controller 300 by wireless communication.

  The controller 300 starts counting time when the operation signal is received, and when the detection signal is received before the count time t2 has passed the set time t1, the controller 300 transmits the detection signal to the first by wireless communication. The detection signal is transmitted to the wireless adapter 10 and the detection signal is input to the control unit 9 from the first wireless adapter 10. When the detection signal is input, the control unit 9 determines that infrared rays have been received, and enters the determination as to whether the heating operation in the left heating unit 4a and the right heating unit 4b has been completed.
