JP 2010-267422 A

However, in the conventional method, in the case where there is one temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature of the cooking heating plate via the bottom plate, the temperature detection is performed depending on the place where the cooking object is placed even if the same cooking object is used. A difference occurs in the temperature detected by the means. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 show the temperature detecting means 9 provided at the substantially center and below the bottom plate 8 by using the cooking heating plate 7 made of a material having a substantially uniform temperature distribution and excellent thermal conductivity. It is a figure at the time of mounting the to-be-cooked object 4 in a respectively different position using one. FIG. 11 shows the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 9 in FIGS. 9 and 10 and the temperature on the back side of the object to be cooked in FIG. 10 when heated with the same heating power in FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG. Note that the temperature θ1 in FIG. 11 is a predetermined temperature set in advance according to the menu, the load amount, and the like. When the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 9 reaches a predetermined temperature θ1, the predetermined temperature θ1 is controlled by controlling the heating of only the lower heating means or both the lower heating means (heating coil) and the upper heating means. The object to be cooked 4 is baked by adjusting the temperature (hereinafter referred to as temperature control) so as to keep it. As shown in FIG. 9, in the case where the temperature detection means 9 is one and the food 4 is placed immediately above, the heat from the upper heating means is blocked by the food 4 and the food is cooked. Since the back surface side of the object 4 is in contact with the cooking heating plate 7, the temperature detection means 9 detects the temperature rising speed slower than the empty baking state where the object 4 is not placed, and the time t2 The predetermined temperature θ1 is reached (a in FIG. 11). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, when there is only one temperature detecting means 9 and the food 4 is not placed immediately above, the air is emptied by the heat from the upper heating means and the heat from the lower heating means. Since it is in a baked state, the temperature increasing speed detected by the temperature detecting means 9 is faster than when the food 4 is placed directly above the temperature detecting means, and reaches the predetermined temperature θ1 at time t1. It reaches (b in FIG. 11). However, the temperature rise speed on the back side of the object 4 in FIG. 10 is slower than a in FIG. 11 (c in FIG. 3). The reason for this is that the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 9 that is in the baked state reaches θ1 earlier than the temperature on the back side of the actual cooking object 4, so that the temperature is controlled after reaching the temperature. Is controlled. By controlling the heating, the temperature rise of the cooking heating plate 7 is moderated, and the temperature rise speed on the back side of the cooking object 4 is also slowed. If the temperature rise speed on the back side of the object to be cooked 4 is slow, the cooking condition on the back side of the object to be cooked 4 becomes sweet when cooked in the same time. For the above reasons, in automatic cooking in which heating control is performed based on temperature information detected by the temperature detection means, if there is only one temperature detection means, the baking on the back side of the food to be cooked is particularly dependent on the place where the food is placed. There is a problem that a difference occurs in condition.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and in an induction heating cooker in which a cooking object is directly placed on a heating plate for cooking without using a saucer or a grill, It is an object of the present invention to provide an induction heating cooker that can cook the back side of an object to be cooked with a good finish, particularly in automatic cooking, without restricting the place on the heating plate for cooking. And

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the induction heating cooker of the present invention is a plate body in which a cooking object is placed in a cooking cabinet, is not easily heated by induction, and is made of a material having high thermal conductivity, wherein provided in close contact with the rear surface of the plate body, the heating coil to perform a heating element made of a material that is inductively heated, a cooking heating plates with the induction heating provided below the cooking heating plate in a lower heating means arranged, an upper heating means for heating from above said the food provided above the cooking heating plate comprising grille apparatus having therein the grill unit, the lower heating means of comprising a so provided bottom plate so as to cover the upper, the body constituting an outer shell, and a drive circuit for supplying a high frequency current for performing induction heating on the heating coil, of the lower heating means and the upper heating means Heating output Comprising a Gosuru control means, and the the lower heating means, comprising a plurality of temperature sensing means to sense the temperature of the plate body of the cooking heater plate through the bottom plate, wherein the control means includes a plurality It said temperature detecting means detects the out temperature at a given time, adopts the detected temperature of said temperature detecting means detects the lowest temperature, controls the heating power, the heating element, the rear surface of the plate body A plurality of the temperature detecting means are provided below the back surface of the plate body between the plurality of heating elements from which the heating elements are removed.
