A temperature detection unit that detects a temperature, a cooking menu command unit that commands a cooking menu corresponding to the object to be heated among a plurality of cooking menus, an automatic cooking operation command unit that commands automatic cooking operation, and the heating unit A heating start command unit that commands a heating start command is provided,
When the operation control unit is instructed to perform the automatic cooking operation,
Based on the heating start command, detection information of the temperature detection unit after starting heating by the heating unit with the automatic heating power set and commanded by the cooking menu command unit among a plurality of load determination conditions The present invention relates to a grill configured to execute a heating time setting process for obtaining a heating time for heating the object to be heated based on a load determination condition selected according to a cooking menu.

In such a grill, when the automatic cooking operation command section issues an automatic cooking operation, the object to be heated placed on the placing section is heated and cooked by the gas combustion type heating section, and then the heating section is heated. The heating time for carrying out is calculated (estimated).

By the way, by calculating the heating time to heat the heating part, the remaining time until the heating cooking is finished is displayed on the display part, and the heating of the heating part is automatically stopped when the heating cooking is finished. It will be possible to do.

As a conventional example of such a grill, the operation control unit starts heating by the heating unit by the automatic heating power set based on the heating start command of the heating unit when the automatic cooking operation command unit instructs the automatic cooking operation. Based on the detection information of the temperature detection unit after the heating and the load determination condition selected according to the cooking menu commanded by the cooking menu command unit among the plurality of load determination conditions, the load is set as the heating time. There is one configured to obtain the remaining heating time from the time when the determination process is performed to the time when the heating of the object to be heated is completed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Specifically, as the heating time setting process, based on the heating start command, the detection information of the temperature detection unit after the heating by the heating unit is started by the automatic heating power and the cooking menu commanded by the cooking menu command unit Based on the load determination condition selected according to, the load determination process for determining the heat load of the object to be heated, the heat load determined by the load determination process, and the cooking menu command unit among the plurality of calculation conditions. Based on the calculation conditions selected according to the cooking menu commanded in, the remaining heating time setting process that sets the remaining heating time from the load determination process until the heating of the object to be heated is completed It is configured to run.

That is, in Patent Document 1, the remaining heating time from the load determination processing to the end of heating of the object to be heated is obtained, and the cooking is ended based on the remaining heating time. The remaining time until is displayed on the display unit and the heating of the heating unit is automatically stopped when the cooking is finished.

When the technical content of Patent Document 1 is added, as the above-described load determination processing, heating by the heating unit is started based on the detection information of the temperature detection unit and the load determination condition selected according to the cooking menu. In the initial period after the start of heating by the heating unit that changes according to the difference in the mounting state of the object to be heated on the mounting portion and the difference in the heat capacity of the object to be heated A process for obtaining a heat capacity determination time parameter until the temperature rises to the set determination temperature and a ratio between the heat capacity determination time parameter obtained by dividing the heat capacity determination time parameter by the temperature increase gradient and the temperature increase gradient is executed. It is configured.

Further, a plurality of calculation conditions are set so that the larger the ratio, the longer the remaining heating time, and the different the remaining heating time to be obtained for the same size of the ratio according to the cooking menu.
Then, as the above-mentioned remaining heating time setting processing, processing for obtaining the remaining heating time based on the ratio and the calculation condition selected according to the cooking menu is executed.

It is configured such that the correction is performed based on the detected temperature.

That is, if the heating start time point temperature, which is the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit when the heating of the heating unit is started, is higher than the reference temperature (for example, 25° C.), the longer the heating start time point temperature, the longer the heating start time point. The value obtained by correcting the elapsed time is set as the heat capacity determination time parameter, and conversely, the heating start time temperature which is the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit when the heating of the heating unit is started is the reference temperature (for example, 25° C.). If the value is lower than the value of (1), the value obtained by correcting the elapsed time is set so as to become shorter as the difference from the heating start point temperature becomes larger, and is set as the heat capacity determination time parameter.

Japanese Patent No. 4152289

In the conventional grill, the residual heating time as the heating time is determined by distinguishing the heat load of the object to be heated according to the difference in the mounting state of the object to be heated and the heat capacity of the object to be heated in the mounting part. It can be set appropriately.
That is, it is possible to appropriately obtain the time point at which the heating and cooking are finished while determining the placement state of the object to be heated in the placing section and the heat capacity of the object to be heated.

Moreover, in obtaining the heat capacity determination time parameter, the elapsed time from the start of heating by the heating unit to the rise to the set determination temperature is corrected by the heating start time temperature when the heating of the heating unit is started. Therefore, even if the temperature inside the grill changes when the heating of the heating part starts, the remaining heating time as the heating time is set appropriately while properly determining the heat capacity of the object to be heated. It is possible.

However, in the past, since the preset automatic operation heating power is used as it is, regardless of the change in the temperature inside the grill when the heating of the heating unit is started, that is, the temperature at the start of heating, There was a possibility that it would be difficult to cook the food well.

That is, when the temperature at the start of heating is low, the object to be heated is cooked under the condition that the temperature inside the grill is gradually increased. Since the heated object is exposed to the high-temperature cooking atmosphere from the start of heating and the set automatic operation heating power is continued, the temperature inside the grill will tend to rise further, which may cause the object to be burned. was there.

By the way, if the temperature at the start of heating is high, it is possible to suppress the sticking of the object to be heated by shortening the remaining heating time (heating time) sufficiently. Then, for example, when heating an object to be heated such as fish, even if it is possible to suppress the burning of the surface of the object to be heated, it becomes difficult to properly heat and cook the inside of the object to be heated, etc. However, there is a possibility that the object to be heated cannot be properly cooked.

The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object thereof is to suppress an object to be heated while suppressing burning, regardless of a change in the temperature inside the grill when the heating unit starts heating. The point is to provide a grill that can be properly cooked.

The grill of the present invention includes a gas combustion type heating unit for heating an object to be heated placed on a placing unit inside the grill store, an operation control unit for controlling an operating state of the heating unit, and the grill store. A temperature detection unit that detects the internal temperature of the cooking unit, a cooking menu command unit that commands a cooking menu corresponding to the object to be heated among a plurality of cooking menus, an automatic cooking operation command unit that commands automatic cooking operation, and the heating And a heating start command unit for instructing a heating start command for the unit,
When the operation control unit is instructed to perform the automatic cooking operation,
Based on the heating start command, detection information of the temperature detection unit after starting heating by the heating unit with the automatic heating power set and commanded by the cooking menu command unit among a plurality of load determination conditions A heating time setting process for obtaining a heating time for heating the object to be heated is executed based on a load determination condition selected according to a cooking menu, and its characteristic configuration Is
When the operation control unit is instructed to perform the automatic cooking operation,
Based on the heating start time point temperature detected by the temperature detection unit when the heating start command is commanded and the cooking menu commanded by the cooking menu command unit, the higher the heating start time point temperature, the more the setting is made. A thermal power reduction variable that is set to a value that greatly reduces the automatic driving thermal power, a thermal power reduction variable setting process that is determined according to the cooking menu, and a thermal power reduction correction that reduces and corrects the set automatic driving thermal power based on the thermal power reduction variable. Configured to perform processing ,
The operation control unit, as the thermal power decrease correction process, an automatic driving thermal combustion state in which the heating unit is burned at the set automatic driving thermal power and a suppression that burns the heating unit at a setting suppression thermal power smaller than the set automatic driving thermal power. It is configured to perform a process of repeating a thermal combustion state and changing a ratio of a time of burning in the suppressed thermal combustion state to a time of burning in the automatic driving thermal combustion state according to the thermal power reduction variable. There is a point.

That is, when the automatic cooking operation is instructed, the heating power reduction variable setting process instructs the heating start time temperature, which is the detection information of the temperature detection unit at the time when the heating unit starts heating, and the cooking menu command unit. Based on the cooking menu, the heating power reduction variable is set and determined according to the cooking menu in a form in which the set automatic operation heating power is greatly reduced as the heating start time temperature is higher.
Then, by the thermal power reduction correction processing, the set automatic operation thermal power is reduced and corrected based on the thermal power reduction variable.

Therefore, the higher the heating start time temperature, the larger the set automatic operation heating power is corrected to the decrease side.Therefore, even if the heating start time temperature is high after the heating of the heating unit is started, the temperature inside the grill chamber is high. Since it can be prevented from rising to a higher temperature than necessary, it is possible to suppress the burning of the object to be heated.
Moreover, since the set automatic operation heating power is corrected to the decreasing side, even if the heating time for heating the object to be heated is set to the time for properly heating and cooking the inside of the object to be heated, the burning of the object to be heated will not occur. Can be suppressed.

In short, according to the characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, the object to be heated can be appropriately cooked while suppressing the burning regardless of the change in the temperature inside the grill when the heating of the heating unit is started. ..

Also , while repeating the automatic driving thermal combustion state in which the heating section burns with the set automatic driving thermal power and the suppression heating combustion state in which the heating section is set smaller than the setting automatic driving thermal power, the automatic driving thermal combustion state is repeated. By changing the ratio of the time of burning in the suppressed thermal power combustion state to the time of burning in ., according to the thermal power reduction variable, the state in which the set automatic operation thermal power is reduced can be revealed.

Therefore, without changing the heating power of the heating unit in multiple stages or steplessly, it is possible to bring out the state in which the set automatic operation heating power is reduced in the form of reducing the number of stages for changing the heating power of the heating unit. It is possible to simplify the configuration for changing the heating power of the part.

In short, according to the feature configuration of the grill of the present invention, it is possible to simplify the configuration for changing the heating power of the heating unit.

In a further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, the heating power reduction variable is such that the set automatic operation heating power is greatly reduced as the heating start time temperature is higher, and the set automatic operation is performed with respect to the unit amount increase of the heating start time temperature. The reduction amount of the operating heat power is set to be reduced as the temperature at the start of heating is increased.

That is, in addition to setting the heating power decrease variable so that the higher the heating start time temperature, the larger the set automatic operation heating power is, the decrease amount of the set automatic operation heating power with respect to the unit amount increase of the heating start time temperature is set to the heating start time. The higher the time point temperature, the more the temperature will be decreased.

Therefore, although the set automatic operation heating power is greatly reduced as the heating start time temperature is higher, the degree of decreasing the set automatic operation heating power is decreased as the heating start time point temperature is higher. When it is high, it is possible to appropriately heat and cook the object to be heated by suppressing the set automatic operation heating power from being reduced to such an extent that the object to be heated can not be properly cooked.

In short, according to the further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, the set automatic operation heating power is suppressed from being reduced to such an extent that heating of the object to be heated cannot be appropriately performed, and the object to be heated is appropriately cooked. can do.
The grill of the present invention includes a gas combustion type heating unit for heating an object to be heated placed on a placing unit inside the grill store, an operation control unit for controlling an operating state of the heating unit, and the grill store. A temperature detection unit that detects the internal temperature of the cooking unit, a cooking menu command unit that commands a cooking menu corresponding to the object to be heated among a plurality of cooking menus, an automatic cooking operation command unit that commands automatic cooking operation, and the heating And a heating start command unit for instructing a heating start command for the unit,

When the operation control unit is instructed to perform the automatic cooking operation,
Based on the heating start time point temperature detected by the temperature detection unit when the heating start command is commanded and the cooking menu commanded by the cooking menu command unit, the higher the heating start time point temperature, the more the setting is made. A thermal power reduction variable that is set to a value that greatly reduces the automatic driving thermal power, a thermal power reduction variable setting process that is determined according to the cooking menu, and a thermal power reduction correction that reduces and corrects the set automatic driving thermal power based on the thermal power reduction variable. Configured to perform processing,
The heating power reduction variable, the higher the heating start time temperature, the larger the set automatic operation heating power is greatly reduced, and the decrease amount of the set automatic operation heating power with respect to the unit amount increase of the heating start time point, the heating start time point. The point is that the higher the temperature, the lower the temperature is.
That is, when the automatic cooking operation is instructed, the heating power reduction variable setting process instructs the heating start time temperature, which is the detection information of the temperature detection unit at the time when the heating unit starts heating, and the cooking menu command unit. Based on the cooking menu, the heating power reduction variable is set and determined according to the cooking menu in a form in which the set automatic operation heating power is greatly reduced as the heating start time temperature is higher.
Then, by the thermal power reduction correction processing, the set automatic operation thermal power is reduced and corrected based on the thermal power reduction variable.
Therefore, the higher the heating start time temperature, the larger the set automatic operation heating power is corrected to the decrease side.Therefore, even if the heating start time temperature is high after the heating of the heating unit is started, the temperature inside the grill chamber is high. Since it is possible to prevent the temperature from being raised to an unnecessarily high temperature, it is possible to suppress the burning of the object to be heated.
Moreover, since the set automatic operation heating power is corrected to the decreasing side, even if the heating time for heating the object to be heated is set to the time for properly heating and cooking the inside of the object to be heated, the burning of the object to be heated will not occur. Can be suppressed.
In short, according to the characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, the object to be heated can be appropriately cooked while suppressing the burning regardless of the change in the temperature inside the grill when the heating of the heating unit is started. ..
Moreover, in addition to setting the heating power reduction variable so that the higher the heating start time temperature is, the larger the set automatic operation heat power is reduced. The higher the time point temperature, the more the temperature will be decreased.
Therefore, although the set automatic operation heating power is greatly reduced as the heating start time temperature is higher, the degree of decreasing the set automatic operation heating power is decreased as the heating start time point temperature is higher. When it is high, it is possible to appropriately heat and cook the object to be heated by suppressing the set automatic operation heating power from being reduced to such an extent that the object to be heated can not be properly cooked.
In short, according to the characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the set automatic operation heating power from being reduced to such an extent that heating of the object to be heated cannot be appropriately performed, and to appropriately heat and cook the object to be heated. You can

In a further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, the heating power reduction variable is set by using a plurality of functions defined for each of a plurality of temperature sections obtained by dividing the variation range of the heating start point temperature into a plurality of sections. There is a point.

That is, since the heating power reduction variable is set using a function, it is possible to reduce the storage amount of the operation control unit. In other words, when storing the heating power reduction variable in the operation control unit, the heating power reduction variable that is set for each of a large number of heating start point temperatures is set to the operation control unit for each cooking menu commanded by the cooking menu command unit. However, in this case, there is a disadvantage that the amount of memory of the operation control unit increases, but by setting the thermal power reduction variable using a function, the amount of memory of the operation control unit can be reduced. it can.

Moreover, since the thermal power decrease variable is set by using a plurality of functions defined for each of a plurality of temperature sections obtained by dividing the change range of the temperature at the start of heating into a plurality of sections, for each of the plurality of temperature sections The calculation load on the operation control unit can be reduced by simplifying the function for setting the thermal power reduction variable, for example, by setting the function to be set to a linear function.

In short, according to the further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the storage amount of the operation control unit and further reduce the calculation load of the operation control unit.

A further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention is that the heating power reduction variable is set to a constant set value when the heating start time temperature is equal to or higher than a set high temperature.

That is, although it is necessary to greatly reduce the set automatic operation heating power as the heating start time temperature is higher, when the heating start time temperature is higher than a certain temperature on the high temperature side, the decrease amount of the set automatic operation heating power is made constant.

In this way, when the heating start time temperature is higher than a certain temperature on the high temperature side, the reduction amount of the set automatic operation thermal power is kept constant to prevent the set automatic operation thermal power from being reduced more than necessary. The object to be heated can be appropriately cooked by heating.

In short, according to the further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the set automatic operation heating power from being reduced more than necessary and appropriately heat and cook the object to be heated.

In a further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, the operation control unit, as the heating time setting process,
Selected according to the detection information of the temperature detection unit after starting the heating by the heating unit with the set automatic operation thermal power based on the heating start command and the cooking menu commanded by the cooking menu command unit Based on the load determination condition, a load determination process of determining the heat load of the object to be heated, and
Based on the heat load and the calculation condition selected according to the cooking menu instructed by the cooking menu commanding unit among the plurality of calculation conditions, heating of the object to be heated after the load determination processing is performed. It is configured to execute the residual heating time setting process for setting the residual heating time until the end of.

That is, for the load discriminating load selected according to the cooking information instructed by the cooking menu instructing means among the plurality of load discriminating conditions and the detection information detected by the temperature detecting unit after the heating by the heating unit is started. The heat load of the object to be heated is determined based on the condition.

Also, based on the determined heat load and the calculation condition selected according to the commanded cooking menu among the plurality of calculation conditions, from the load determination process to the end of heating of the object to be heated. The remaining heating time is set.

According to this characteristic configuration, the remaining heating time is set based on the heat load of the object to be heated determined by the load determination process and the calculation condition selected according to the cooking menu. Since the appropriate remaining heating time can be set according to the cooking menu, such as setting the remaining heating time short in the cooking menu where cooking is easy to proceed, the remaining heating time is set based only on the heat load of the object to be heated. Compared with the case of setting, it is possible to obtain an appropriate remaining heating time according to the cooking menu.

In short, according to the further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, it is possible to obtain an appropriate provisional heating time according to the cooking menu.

In a further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, the operation control unit, as the load determination process,
Based on the detection information of the temperature detection unit and the load determination condition selected according to the cooking menu, in the initial stage after the heating by the heating unit is started, the object to be heated in the placing unit. For the heat capacity discrimination from the start of heating by the heating unit that changes according to the difference in the mounting state and the temperature rise gradient that changes according to the difference in the heat capacity of the object to be heated to the set determination temperature Obtaining a time parameter, and configured to perform a process of obtaining a ratio between the heat capacity determination time parameter obtained by dividing the heat capacity determination time parameter by the temperature increase gradient and the temperature increase gradient,
A plurality of the calculation conditions are set such that the remaining heating time is lengthened as the ratio increases, and the remaining heating time required for the ratio of the same size is changed according to the cooking menu. And
The operation control unit,
The remaining heating time setting process is configured to execute a process for obtaining the remaining heating time based on the ratio and the calculation condition selected according to the cooking menu.

That is, by the load determination process, based on the detection information of the temperature detection unit and the load determination condition selected according to the cooking menu, the object to be heated on the placing unit is initially in the heating unit after the heating is started. Temperature rise gradient that changes depending on the mounting state of the product, and the time for heat capacity determination from the start of heating by the heating unit that changes according to the difference in the heat capacity of the object to be heated to the set determination temperature The parameter is obtained, and further, as the heat load of the object to be heated, the ratio between the heat capacity determination time parameter and the temperature increase gradient is obtained.

To explain that the temperature rise gradient changes depending on the mounting state of the object to be heated in the mounting part, when the heating of the heating part is started, the internal temperature of the grill will gradually increase. , The flow of air inside the grill is different depending on whether the object to be heated is placed near the exhaust point of the placing part or when the object to be heated is placed far from the exhaust point. Due to the different states, the flow state of the heated air inside the grill cabinet differs depending on the placement state of the heated object placed on the placement section, and the temperature rises accordingly. The slope will be different.

That is, based on the detection information of the temperature detection unit, it is possible to obtain not only the information corresponding to the heat capacity of the object to be heated but also the information corresponding to the mounting state of the object to be heated in the mounting unit. A difference in heat capacity and a difference in the mounting state of the object to be heated with respect to the mounting portion are required.

The time parameter for heat capacity determination corresponds to the elapsed time from the start of heating by the heating unit to the rise to the set determination temperature, but the detection by the temperature detection unit when heating of the heating unit is started. If the temperature is higher than the reference temperature (for example, 25° C.), the larger the difference, the longer the elapsed time is corrected. It is desirable that the value obtained by correcting the above elapsed time with the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit is used as the heat capacity determination time parameter.

Then, by the residual heating time setting process, the ratio of the heat capacity determination time parameter obtained as the heat load of the object to be heated and the temperature increase gradient, the larger the ratio, the longer the residual heating time, and the same size. The remaining heating time is set based on the number calculation condition that is determined so that the remaining heating time required for the ratio differs depending on the cooking menu.

By the way, by setting the remaining heating time based on the ratio between the heat capacity determination time parameter and the temperature increase gradient, the calculation for setting the remaining heating time can be simplified.
That is, for example, it is conceivable to separately obtain the heating time from the heat capacity determination time parameter and the temperature increase gradient, and set the average value thereof as the remaining heating time. By setting the remaining heating time on the basis of the ratio of and, it is possible to obtain the remaining heating time while simplifying the calculation.

In short, according to the further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, the remaining heating time is reduced while corresponding to the heat capacity of the object to be heated and the mounting state of the object to be heated with respect to the mounting portion, while simplifying the calculation. You can ask.

As a further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, a temperature sensor for temperature gradient determination for detecting the temperature rise gradient, and a heat capacity determination for detecting the heat capacity determination time parameter as the temperature detection unit. The temperature sensor and the temperature sensor are separately provided.

That is, as the temperature detection unit, since the temperature sensor for temperature gradient detection for detecting the temperature rise gradient, and the temperature sensor for heat capacity determination for detecting the time parameter for heat capacity determination are separately provided, By arranging the temperature sensor for detecting the temperature gradient at a location suitable for detecting the temperature rising gradient, it becomes possible to detect the temperature rising gradient with high accuracy. By arranging the determination time parameter at a position suitable for detection, it is possible to accurately detect the heat capacity determination elapsed time.

In short, according to the further characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, it is possible to accurately detect each of the temperature rise gradient and the heat capacity determination time parameter.

(Details of control operation)
The control operation of the operation control unit H will be described based on a flowchart.
As shown in FIG. 21, the operation control unit H executes the manual cooking operation when the fire extinguishing switch 23 is turned on after the power switch 9 is turned on (#1, 2). This manual cooking operation will be described later.

When the ignition command is not issued and at least one of the menu change switch 29 and the baking adjustment switch 30 is operated after the power switch 9 is turned on (#2, 3), it is detected by the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37. It is determined whether the exhaust gas side detected temperature TH1 is within a proper range (for example, −5° C. to 100° C.) (#4).

If the exhaust gas side detected temperature TH1 is within an appropriate range, the exhaust gas side detected temperature TH1 of the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 at that time is stored as the exhaust gas side heating start time point tbo when the grill burner 2 starts heating, and The inside temperature detected temperature TH2 detected by the inside temperature sensor 38 at that time is stored as the heating start time temperature TH (#5).

After that, when the ignition is commanded, the automatic cooking operation is executed (#6).
By the way, if the exhaust gas side detected temperature TH1 detected by the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 is not within the proper range (in the range of −5° C. to 100° C.) (#4), the buzzer BZ (see FIG. 2) sounds. A warning sound is generated (#7), and then the process proceeds to #2.

It should be noted that, even if three minutes have elapsed since the power switch 9 was turned on, if there is no input operation by any of the switches, the power is automatically turned off to end the control (#8, 9). After storing the exhaust gas side heating start time temperature tbo and the heating start time temperature TH, the power is automatically turned off and the control is terminated even when the ignition command is not issued even after 3 minutes have passed (# 9, 10).

(Automatic cooking operation)
Next, the automatic cooking operation will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
In the automatic cooking operation, first, the ignition process for the grill burner 2 is executed (#30). Specifically, after the ignition by the igniter 7 is started, the original solenoid valve 12 and the open-close solenoid valve 16 are opened to ignite the grill burner 2, and when the ignition detection sensor 8 confirms the ignition, the igniter is activated. The operation of No. 7 is stopped and the combustion lamp 24 is turned on.

At the start of heating, the thermal power of the grill burner 2 is set to a state in which it becomes a large thermal power as an ignition thermal power, that is, in the present embodiment, to a state in which it becomes the set automatic operation thermal power As.
If ignition is not confirmed by the ignition detection sensor 8 within the set time, it is determined as a non-ignition error, the original solenoid valve 12 is closed, and a notification process for notifying an abnormality is performed.

After the ignition processing, "AU" indicating that the automatic cooking operation state is displayed on the timer display unit 26 (#31), and then the menu change switch 29, the baking adjustment switch 30, and the timer setting switch 25. The operation is switched to the input suppression state in which the acceptance of the operation input by the user is suppressed (#32). Therefore, while the automatic cooking operation is being performed, input cannot be performed by these operations. However, it is possible to input a command to cancel the automatic cooking operation by operating the take-off switch 31.

Next, based on the detection information of the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 and the internal temperature sensor 38, the exhaust gas side temperature TH1 of the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 is 185° C. or higher, and the internal temperature detection temperature TH2 of the internal temperature sensor 38. Temperature abnormality determination processing for determining whether or not the temperature is 190° C. or higher or an abnormally high temperature state (#33), and then for determining the temperature increase gradient α and the heat capacity determination time parameter To Information calculation processing is executed (#34).
When it is determined by the temperature abnormality determination processing that the temperature is abnormally high, the fire extinguishing processing is performed, a warning sound is generated by the buzzer BZ, and the combustion lamp 24 is blinked 10 times. , Automatic cooking operation ends.

In the determination information calculation process, when 100 seconds elapse after the ignition of the grill burner 2 is started and the heating is started, the inside temperature detected temperature TH2 of the inside temperature sensor 38 at that time is stored as the first detection value TB1, When 160 seconds have elapsed after ignition of the grill burner 2 was started and heating was started, the inside temperature detected temperature TH2 of the inside temperature sensor 38 at that time is stored as the second detected value TB2.
Then, the temperature rise gradient α is obtained by the above equation (3).

Further, when the exhaust gas side detected temperature TH1 of the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 reaches the first monitoring temperature X1 (for example, 140° C.), the elapsed time required from the start of heating to the first monitoring temperature X1 is reached. The heat capacity determination elapsed time Y1 is stored.
Then, the correction time dt is obtained by the above equation (1), and the heat capacity determination time parameter To is obtained by the above equation (2).

In the present embodiment, as described above, in the case where the exhaust gas side detected temperature TH1 of the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 does not reach the first monitoring temperature X1 even after the maximum measurement time Tomax has elapsed since the heating of the grill burner 2 was started. Sets the maximum measurement time Tomax as the heat capacity determination elapsed time Y1.

Next, the remaining heating time setting process for obtaining the remaining heating time TJ is executed (#35).
That is, first, based on the ratio V(To/α) of the heat capacity determination time parameter To calculated as the determination information and the temperature increase gradient α, the remaining heating time TJ is calculated by the above-mentioned formula (4). become.

After the remaining heating time TJ is obtained, the gradient variable β and the intercept variable γ are obtained based on the heating start time temperature TH, and then the thermal power reduction variable Kα for the automatic cooking operation is calculated by the above equation (5). It will be asked (#36). That is, the heating power reduction variable setting process for the automatic cooking operation is executed.

After obtaining the heating power reduction variable Kα for the automatic cooking operation, the remaining timer time display process for displaying the remaining time obtained by subtracting the heating elapsed time from the remaining heating time TJ from the remaining heating time TJ on the timer display unit 26 Is executed (#37).
By the way, as the heating time TM, a value obtained by adding the remaining heating time TJ and the above-mentioned heat capacity determination elapsed time Y1 is obtained, and the remaining time obtained by subtracting the heating elapsed time from the start of heating from the heating time TM is displayed on the timer. It may be displayed on the section 26.

Next, the heating power reduction correction process for automatic cooking operation is executed based on the heating power reduction variable Kα for automatic cooking operation (#38). That is, an automatic driving thermal combustion state in which the grill burner 2 is burned at the set automatic driving thermal power As and a suppressing thermal power combustion state in which the grill burner 2 is burned at a setting restraining thermal power smaller than the set automatic driving thermal power As are repeated, and the automatic driving thermal burning is performed. A process of changing the ratio of the time of burning in the suppressed thermal power combustion state to the time of burning in the state in accordance with the thermal power reduction variable Kα for automatic cooking operation is executed.

After that, when it is detected that the exhaust gas side detected temperature TH1 of the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 becomes equal to or higher than the second monitoring temperature X2 as the set temperature for heating amount adjustment, the thermal power suppression process of changing the thermal power of the grill burner 2 to the decreasing side is performed. Execute (#39, 40).
That is, in the initial setting state, each of the branch paths branched into the branch path for the upper surface burner and the branch path for the lower surface burner so that the thermal power of the grill burner 2 adjusted to the set automatic operation thermal power As is reduced. The open/close solenoid valve 16 provided in the above is switched to the closed state. The second monitoring temperature X2 is preset for each cooking menu as shown in FIG.

When the remaining time displayed on the timer display section 26 becomes zero, that is, when the timer that counts the heating elapsed time after the remaining heating time TJ is obtained counts up to the remaining heating time TJ (#41), the original solenoid valve A fire extinguishing process for extinguishing the grill burner 2 by closing valve 12 is executed (#42).
Further, following the fire extinguishing process, the notification process (#43) of sounding the buzzer BZ and the display of "00" displayed on the timer display unit 26 are blinked 10 times, and then the timer display unit 26 is turned off. The process is executed (#44), and then the process proceeds to #2 in the flowchart of FIG.

If the cancellation of the automatic cooking operation is commanded by the take-off switch 31 (#45) until the timer that counts the heating elapsed time after the remaining heating time TJ is calculated is counted up (#45), the input suppression state is set. It releases and shifts to automatic cooking operation (#46).
In addition, after shifting to the manual cooking operation, the heat power can be changed by operating the heat power change switch 27.

Further, when the point fire extinguishing switch 23 is turned on and a fire extinguishing command is issued while the timer is not counting up and the strike switch 31 is not operated (#47), the fire extinguishing process as described above is executed (#47). 48) and thereafter, the process proceeds to #2 in the flowchart of FIG.

(Manual cooking operation)
Next, the manual cooking operation will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
In the manual cooking operation, first, the ignition process for the grill burner 2 is executed (#50). Specifically, after the ignition by the igniter 7 is started, the original solenoid valve 12 and the open-close solenoid valve 16 are opened to ignite the grill burner 2, and when the ignition detection sensor 8 confirms the ignition, the igniter is activated. The operation of No. 7 is stopped and the combustion lamp 24 is turned on.

At the start of heating, the heating power of the grill burner 2 is set to a large heating power for ignition.
If ignition is not confirmed by the ignition detection sensor 8 within the set time, it is determined as a non-ignition error, the original solenoid valve 12 is closed, and a notification process for notifying an abnormality is performed.

Next, based on the detection information of the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 and the internal temperature sensor 38, the exhaust gas side temperature TH1 of the exhaust gas temperature sensor 37 is 185° C. or higher, and the internal temperature detection temperature TH2 of the internal temperature sensor 38. Temperature abnormality determination processing is performed to determine whether or not the temperature is 190° C. or higher or an abnormally high temperature state (#51).
When it is determined that the temperature is abnormally high in the temperature abnormality determination process, the extinguishing process of closing the original solenoid valve 12 to extinguish the fire is performed, a warning sound is generated by the buzzer BZ, and the combustion is performed. The lamp 24 is blinked 10 times to end the manual cooking operation.

After that, the gradient variable Y and the intercept variable Z are obtained based on the heating start time temperature TH, and then the thermal power reduction variable Kx for the manual cooking operation is obtained by the above equation (6) (#52). That is, the thermal power reduction variable setting process is executed.

After obtaining the thermal power reduction variable Kx for the manual cooking operation, it is determined whether or not there is a thermal power change command by the operation of the thermal power change switch 27 (#53), and if there is a thermal power change command, based on the thermal power change command. Then, the heating power of the grill burner 2, that is, the target heating power Am is changed (#54).

Next, based on the thermal power reduction variable Kx for manual cooking operation, the thermal power reduction correction processing for manual cooking operation is executed (#55). That is, as described above, the target thermal power combustion state in which the grill burner 2 is burned at the target thermal power Am and the suppression thermal power combustion state in which the grill burner 2 is burned at the set suppression thermal power smaller than the target thermal power Am are repeated, and the target thermal power combustion state is set. A process of changing the ratio of the time of burning in the suppressed heat burning state to the time of burning by burning according to the heat reduction variable Kx for the manual cooking operation is executed.

After that, when the point fire extinguishing switch 23 is turned on and a fire extinguishing command is issued (#56), the above-described fire extinguishing process is executed (#57), and then the process proceeds to #2 in the flowchart of FIG. Become.
When it is determined in #56 that the extinguishing command has not been issued, whether or not the heating time for the manual cooking operation set for the manual cooking operation has elapsed, that is, whether the timer count has increased or not. (#58), if the timer is up, the extinguishing process of #57 is executed, and if the timer is not up, the process proceeds to #53.

The heating time for the manual cooking operation is set to a standard time (for example, 8 minutes) when the ignition process is executed and the manual cooking operation is started, and the timer setting switch 25 is set as necessary. Will be adjusted up or down.
Further, in the manual cooking operation as well as in the automatic cooking operation, the timer remaining time display processing of displaying the remaining time obtained by subtracting the heating elapsed time from the heating time for manual cooking on the timer display unit 26 is executed. The description is omitted in the embodiment.
