Description

The present invention relates to a heating cooker for heating a metal cooking vessel or the like placed on the top plate.

As a conventional cooking cooker of this kind, there is one equipped with a grill on the left side inside the main body. The grill can be cooked by opening the door provided on the front surface, inserting an object to be heated such as fish into the grill, closing the door, and heating with an electric heater or the like (for example, patent). See Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

In addition, there is also a type in which the inside of the main body of the cooking cooker used by being incorporated in the kitchen furniture is divided into a grill storage and storage rooms on the left and right of the grill. Ingredients, seasonings, cooking containers, etc. are stored in the storage room (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
The front of this storage room is covered with a cover with an air intake that takes in air sucked from the outside of the kitchen furniture so that the internal space of the kitchen furniture does not become hot due to the operation of the cooker. Is designed to allow air to be taken into the storage room.

On the other hand, in a living space such as a kitchen, high-temperature steam, oily smoke, etc. generated during cooking from a cooking cooker have a great influence on the air quality of the living space. In other words, it has a great effect on the comfort of the living space. Therefore, in order to improve the air quality, an air quality improvement system in which a cooking cooker and a range hood (a type of exhaust device) provided above the cooking cooker are interlocked with each other has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 4). In this conventional example, when cooking is started, a far-infrared signal is transmitted from the cooking cooker to the range hood side, and the range hood that receives this signal immediately starts operation. It has also been proposed to operate an air purifier installed on the ceiling of the room almost at the same time as the start of cooking to prevent oily smoke and odor from cooking from diffusing into the living space (see, for example, Patent Document 5).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-210146 (Page 3, FIG. 2) Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-182694 (page 1, FIG. 3) Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-155778 (Page 2, FIG. 1) Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2009-121751 (Page 1, FIG. 1) JP-A-2016-095126 (Page 1, FIG. 4)

All of the three typical types of conventional cooking cookers described above are provided with a grill, and oil smoke and the like from the grill are discharged from the cooker body into the room. Therefore, the exhaust from the cooking device has been a cause of polluting the walls of the kitchen.
Furthermore, even in the above-mentioned two typical air quality improvement systems, since it is premised that the essential cooking cooker has a grill inside, it is heated on the top plate of the cooking cooker. It is generated from the grill inside the main body of the cooker and is behind the top plate, that is, behind the gas such as high-temperature steam generated from the food to be cooked (food, water, etc.). Recovery of hot air containing oily smoke that rises near a vertical wall such as a kitchen is a major issue. That is, in the conventional cooking cooker of this type, the exhaust port for exhausting the hot air containing oily smoke from the grill is located at the rear part of the main body of the cooking cooker, so that the exhaust port is located near the vertical wall surface of the living space. There is a flow of oil smoke, etc. For this reason, there is a problem that oil smoke and the like are not surely collected in the upper range hood, which causes oil smoke and odor to diffuse into the room. In addition, there is a document that the exhaust flow from the grill is approaching the vertical wall of the kitchen or the like, which is called the "Coanda effect", and points out that such a phenomenon causes the wall to become dirty (for example). , FIG. 10) of JP-A-2005-274037.

The home appliance EE includes an induction heating cooker 8, an air conditioner 5, an air purifier 7, an exhaust device 9, and a lighting fixture 6, which will be described later. In the following description, the term home appliance EE includes an induction heating cooker 8, an air conditioner 5, an air purifier 7, and an exhaust device 9 unless otherwise specified.
The induction cooking device 8 is a kind of cooking device. As another type of cooking cooker, there is also a cooking cooker using a radiant electric heating source that radiates heat rays from below the top plate to cook, so in the following explanation, the induction heating cooker is " It is called a "heat cooker".

"Identification information" of home electric appliances EE is information for identifying home electric appliances EE, which is information unique to home electric appliances EE, and is important information necessary for accurate repair and inspection. is there. For example, specifically, the following items are included in the identification information, but are not limited thereto.
(1) Manufacturer name of home appliances (2) Model name (3) Model number (4) Rated power consumption (5) Date of purchase (In many cases, it is the starting date of the quality assurance period of the manufacturer or distributor. )
(6) Date of start of use (7) Quality guarantee number

The "integrated management device" 10 refers to a device for operating two or more home electric appliances EE in cooperation with each other. For example, it refers to a device that links the operation of the cooking cooker 8 with the operation of other home electric appliances EE, such as an air purifier 7 and an exhaust device 9. The integrated management device 10 has a function of acquiring information on the current status such as operation, stop, and standby state of the home electric appliance EE from the home electric appliance EE by a wired or wireless signal.

The "power command device" means a device having a function of individually limiting the power consumption of a plurality of home electric appliances EE and regulating the upper limit of the total power consumption in one household. In some cases, the "integrated management device" also serves as the "power command device" for one home electric appliance EE (the first embodiment described below corresponds to this).

Further, the "electric power command device" 5 of one home electric appliance is not necessarily the electric power command device for other home appliances. For example, in the first embodiment, the integrated management device 10 is not a power command device for the air purifier 7 described later. The power command device 10 acquires the operation information of the air purifier 7, and regulates the upper limit of the power consumption so that the upper limit of the total power consumption of one household does not exceed the predetermined value. There is no. That is, the integrated management device 10 has only a function of instructing the start and stop of the operation of the air purifier 7 and the change of the air purifying ability. In other words, the operating status of the other electric device EE and the total amount of power consumption at that time are determined by the integrated management device 10, and the power consumption of the air purifier 7 itself is limited or the operation is started depending on the determination result. Is not banned.

The "environmental information" of the integrated environment detection unit 16 described later is the "environmental data" itself such as the indoor air temperature obtained by the integrated environment detection unit 16 and the "environmental evaluation information" created based on such environmental data. "Is a generic term. "Environmental information" includes, but is not limited to, the following types of information that affect the living comfort of a house.
(1) Temperature information (2) Humidity information (3) Dust scattering degree (dust amount per unit air volume) information (4) Pollen scattering amount information (5) Light amount (visible light amount) information ... In other words, living space It is the information of the brightness of.
(6) Noise information: Information on the quietness of the living space.

The air temperature (for example, 35 ° C.) data acquired by the integrated environment detection unit 10 corresponds to the environmental data. Information that has been classified, ranked, or otherwise processed based on the temperature (35 ° C.) through some evaluation criteria, calculation processing, etc., falls under "environmental evaluation information" as described above. For example, information such as "room temperature is high" and "standard temperature" corresponds to the "environmental evaluation information".

The "air quality improving device" means a device having an effect of improving the temperature, humidity, cleanliness, etc. of the air in the living space. When the cleanliness is improved, the content of harmful substances and dust is reduced, and the air becomes clean. In the first embodiment, the air conditioner 5, the air purifier 7, and the exhaust device 9 are applicable.

FIG. 1 shows an example of one house. In FIG. 1, 3 shows the living space of one house 1. For example, the kitchen. Although only one is shown in the house 1 of FIG. 1, there are other living spaces such as a living room and a bedroom. For example, 200 V of electric power is supplied to the living space 3 from the commercial power supply EP of the electric power company outside the house 1. The electric power is drawn into the house 1 via the watt hour meter 2.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a power supply line (main trunk line) connected to a 200V commercial power supply EP via a breaker BK. An air conditioner 5, a lighting fixture 6, a ceiling-mounted air purifier 7, a heating cooker 8, and an air exhaust device 9 such as a range hood are connected to the power line. Although only one air conditioner 5, a lighting fixture 6, an air purifier 7, and an exhaust device 9 are shown in FIG. 1, there may be a plurality of each.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an integrated management device that also serves as a power command device in which electric power is supplied via the breaker BK, and is located in a place easily accessible by the family, such as the vertical wall surface 11 of the kitchen (see FIGS. 2 and 13). It is installed on the wall or placed on the floor. The lighting fixture 6, the air purifier 7, and the exhaust device 9 are supported by the horizontal wall surface 12 that constitutes the ceiling of the living space.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 denotes a composite sensor (temperature / humidity sensor) for detecting the indoor temperature and humidity of the living space HA, which is one of the environmental sensors. Reference numeral 14 denotes a temperature sensor installed in the external space of the house, which is a kind of environmental sensor.

The composite sensor 13 and the temperature sensor 14 have a function of transmitting the measured temperature and humidity to the integrated environment detection unit 16 of the integrated management device 10 described later by wireless or electric signal. Further, the power source of these environmental sensors may be a charged battery or the power source from the power supply line 1. Further, since the power consumption of these sensors is as small as about 1 W (watt), even when the sensors are operated with the power from the power supply line 1, they are not subject to the power limitation of the power command device 5.

These environmental sensors continuously transmit measurement data to the integrated management device 10 at a predetermined timing. For example, in the living space 3 where the air conditioner 5 is located, the temperature and humidity are measured at 1-minute intervals, and in the bedroom (not shown) at 2-minute intervals. The various environmental sensors may be provided with a power source by themselves by receiving an external environment, for example, visible light and generating electric power by themselves. In this way, the connection with the power supply line (main trunk line) 4 can be eliminated, and the installation becomes easy.

Although not shown, in addition to the above-mentioned ones, as one type of environmental sensor, a pollen sensor that measures the amount of pollen scattered in the air, a dust sensor that measures the amount of dust per unit volume in the air, and a room A noise sensor that detects the magnitude of the noise and an illuminance sensor that detects the brightness of the room are provided at appropriate positions in each living space. Further, in addition to the composite sensor 13, a temperature sensor or a humidity sensor that detects the temperature and humidity outside the room or outside the house may be provided. Further, a sensor such as the PM2.5 sensor 42 described later may be provided indoors so as to measure the amount of particulate matter. The detection result data of each of these sensors is transmitted to the integrated environment detection unit 16 of the integrated management device 10 at any time.

On the other hand, since the air quality outside the house 1 is greatly affected by particulate matter, pollen, etc., it is preferable to provide a pollen sensor or a particulate matter sensor. For example, in FIG. 1, a pollen sensor 41 and a PM2.5 sensor 42 are provided. These sensors 41 and 42 are installed, for example, on the outer wall surface of the house 1, the outer surface of the entrance door, the outer frame of the window, the veranda, the rooftop, and the like. The detection result data of each of these sensors is transmitted to the integrated environment detection unit 16 of the integrated management device 10 at any time.

The integrated environment detection unit 16 itself does not need to be built in the integrated management device 10, and the integrated environment detection unit 9 is installed in a place away from the main body 10A of the integrated management device 10 or in a different living space, and the main body thereof. Even when connected to 10A wirelessly or by wire, it is defined that "the integrated management device 10 is provided with the integrated environment detection unit 16."

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 20 denotes a human detection sensor capable of detecting infrared rays naturally emitted by a human and detecting whether or not a human is present in the living space 3. In addition, such a person detection sensor may be installed in another living space of this house 1.

The human detection sensor 20 has a function of transmitting the result of detecting the presence or absence of a person to the human detection unit 21 built in the main body 10A of the integrated management device 10 by wireless or electric signal. Further, as the power source of the human detection sensor 20, a battery charged in advance may be used, or the electric power branched from the power supply line 1 may be used. Further, since the power consumption of these sensors is as small as about 1 W to several W, even when they are operated with the power from the power supply line 1, they are not subject to the power limitation of the integrated management device 10. These sensors continuously transmit measurement data to the integrated management device 10 at predetermined timings (for example, every 10 seconds). The human detection sensor 20 is not limited to the infrared type, and other methods, for example, an ultrasonic type may be adopted.

Subsequently, FIG. 1 will be described.
Reference numeral 15 denotes kitchen furniture such as a sink in which the cooking device 8 is installed (built-in), which will be described in detail later.
Reference numeral 17 denotes a router connected to the integrated management device 10, which is external to a regional earthquake information providing organization, a cooking information providing organization, etc., which transmits information to the area where the electric power company and its house 1 are located. It is connected to the server 19 installed by the institution via a wide area communication circuit network (referred to as "communication network" or "public communication network") 18 such as the Internet. The "external institution" referred to here is, for example, a broadcasting station that provides a broadcasting program, a public institution that provides medical / health information, a private company, or the like, but may be other than these. These external organizations are not limited to one.

Reference numeral 43 denotes a terminal device for information communication, which is simply referred to as a "terminal device" below. The terminal device 43 is called a smartphone, a mobile terminal, or a tablet, and is a terminal device for information communication that is convenient for a person to carry. The terminal device 43 includes a communication unit 44 so that it can communicate with an unspecified number of people, a display unit 45 having an input screen capable of performing an input operation (touch type or voice input type) to the terminal device, and the communication unit 44. And a control unit 46 that controls the display unit 45. This terminal device is owned by the user of the home electric appliance EE living in the house 1, and can be connected to the integrated management device 10 from an outdoor remote location via a wide area communication network (communication network) 18. The following description will be made on the assumption that the server 19 of an external organization can also be connected.

The terminal device 43 can be connected to the integrated management device 10 from the outside of the house 1 via the communication network 18 to remotely control a part of the home electric appliance EE. The content of remote operation in this case differs depending on the home appliance EE. For example, in the case of the air conditioner 5, the start and stop of cooling and heating, the basic indoor target temperature (also called the set temperature), and the operating time Length, operation start time and end time, etc. That is, when the predetermined time comes, it is possible to set a "reserved operation" for starting or stopping the air-conditioned operation.

The integrated management device 10 can be called from the terminal device 43 to receive and check the information indicating the driving status so that the operating status and the reserved operation status of the home electric appliance EE can be confirmed from the terminal device 43 even if the remote location is remote. That is, since the operation information of the home electric appliance EE is transmitted from the integrated management device 10 to the predetermined server 19, the terminal device 43 can know the state of the home electric appliance EE by accessing the server 19. These will be described in detail later.

FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of hardware to which the air discharge system of the first embodiment, the integrated management device for home appliances, and the air quality improvement system are applied. As one living space, a kitchen will be described below as an example.

The air quality improvement system according to the present invention is an air purifier 7 arranged on the ceiling (horizontal wall surface) 12 for purifying the air in the room, a cooking cooker 8 arranged in the kitchen for cooking, and the like. It is composed of a range hood (a type of exhaust device 9) 26, an air conditioner 5, and an integrated management device 10 arranged directly above the cooking cooker 8. The integrated management device 10 is necessary for connecting these home electric appliances EE by wireless communication and operating them in cooperation with each other.

The range hood 26 has an exhaust port 27 above the range hood 26, and one end of a duct 28 communicating with the outside is connected to the exhaust port 27. Reference numeral 29 denotes a hood in which the entire lower surface is opened as a suction port 31, and an electric fan 26F for exhaust is installed inside the hood. The range hood 26 is fixed to the ceiling (horizontal wall surface) 12, but the detailed configuration will be omitted.

The operating status of the range hood 26 is transmitted to the control device 22 (described in detail later) of the integrated management device 10 at any time. Therefore, inside the range hood 26, there is a transmission unit (shown) that transmits various operation information such as start and stop of exhaust operation and operation intensity (large or small exhaust capacity) with the integrated management device 10. It is equipped with a receiver (not shown). For example, the transmitting unit and the receiving unit are integrated by hardware and provided as a communication unit 30. The communication unit exchanges information with the integrated management device 10 by wireless communication or infrared communication.

When the electric fan 26F is rotationally driven, air is sucked from the suction port of the range hood 26, odors and smoke during cooking are also sucked, and the electric fan 26F is exhausted to the outside through the duct 28. The range hood 26 is a method of receiving an operation signal such as an infrared signal from the side of the cooking cooker 8 and starting the operation.

A heat sensing sensor (heat electromotive force element) may be arranged in the exhaust device 9 in the direction of the cooking cooker 8. According to this configuration, the exhaust device 9 itself detects the start of operation of the cooking cooker 8 and controls the operation of the electric fan 26F.

The ceiling-mounted air purifier 7 is installed so as to be embedded in the living space 3 ceiling (horizontal wall surface) 12. A blower fan 7F and a filter 33 are provided inside the box-shaped main body 7A of the air purifier 7.

Reference numeral 32 denotes an air guide plate, which covers the entire lower part of the air purifier 7. Reference numeral 34A is a suction port formed at one end (the side closer to the range hood 26) by the air guide plate 32. Reference numeral 34B is an air outlet formed by the air guide plate 32 at the end opposite to the suction port 34A.

The blower fan 7F sucks dirty air in the living space (kitchen) 3 from the suction port 34A, and discharges the cleaned air through the filter 33 toward the living space 3 from the air outlet 34B. In this way, the dust and odor in the air are removed, and the air in the room is purified.

Reference numeral 35 denotes an odor sensor of the air purifier 7, which is arranged so as to face the inlet of the suction port 34A. This detects an odor from the air taken into the air purifier 7 during operation and detects the degree of air pollution. If the position of the odor sensor 35 is in the air passage on the suction port 34A side and is in front of the filter 33, there is no big difference in the effect regardless of where it is placed.

The detection result of the odor sensor 35 is determined by the odor sensing unit (not shown) arranged inside the main body 7A of the air purifier 7, and the result is determined by the integrated management device 10. It is transmitted to the integrated environment detection unit 16 at any time. Therefore, inside the air purifier 7, there is a transmission unit (not shown) that transmits various information such as the start and stop of the air cleaning operation and the determination result of the odor intensity with the integrated management device 10. , A receiver (not shown). For example, the transmitting unit and the receiving unit are integrated by hardware and provided as a communication unit 31. The communication unit 31 exchanges information with the integrated management device 10 by wireless communication or infrared communication.

The air purifier 7 can detect the odor because the air purifier 7 is in operation and the odor generated somewhere in the living space 3 reaches the air purifier 7 from the place where the odor is generated. It's time.

By the way, this air purifier 7 is generally configured to include one or a plurality (multiple layers) of filters 33 having fine air passages in order to capture dust, pollen, etc. in the air. .. Therefore, when the oil smoke generated by oil cooking is filtered, the oil particles adhere to the surface of the filter 33, and the oil particles combine to form an oil film, which deteriorates the filtration performance of the filter 33. That is, the amount of air passing through the filter 33 is reduced, which leads to a situation in which the air purification capacity of the air purifier 7 is reduced. Therefore, an idea of avoiding the operation of the air purifier 7 as much as possible when the exhaust gas generated by cooking contains oil smoke generated by oil cooking has already been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-95126). .. Therefore, in the first embodiment, this idea is further developed, which will be described in detail later.

Next, FIG. 3 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the relationship between the integrated management device 10 and the home electric appliance EE. Since it has been explained earlier that the integrated management device 10 may also serve as a power command device when viewed from the side of the home electric appliance EE, it will not be described here.

In FIG. 3, in the main body 10A of the integrated management device 10, the temperature and humidity measured from the human sensing unit 21, the composite sensor 13 and the temperature sensor 14 that receive the detection output of the human sensing sensor 20 are wirelessly or electrically. It includes an integrated environment detection unit 16 and an input unit 24 that receive signals. The integrated environment detection unit 16 also receives the detection results from the pollen sensor 41, the PM2.5 sensor 42, etc. in a predetermined format.

The input unit 24 identifies the home electric appliance EE that sets the upper limit value of power consumption by operating the touch input type key formed on the liquid crystal display screen, and then the upper limit value of power consumption and the usable time zone. Etc. can also be set. For example, the user can input the maximum power consumption of the cooker 8 as, for example, 3000 W.

In FIG. 3, further, in the main body 10A of the integrated management device 10, wireless communication and infrared communication can be performed individually with the home electric appliance EE such as the heating cooker 8, the air purifier 7, the air conditioner 5, and the exhaust device 9. The communication unit (receiver / transmitter) 23, the control device 22 that controls the overall operation of the integrated management device 10, the daily power control history information of the home electric appliance EE, and the daily data acquired by the integrated environment detection unit 16. A storage device 25 for recording a relatively large amount of data such as "environmental information" is provided. The storage device 25 is, for example, various semiconductor memories, HDDs, and the like. The control device 22 contains a microcomputer that is the core of information processing, a ROM, and a RAM, and stores a computer program that regulates various operations.

Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 will be described.
The cooking device 8 in the first embodiment is an induction cooking device that is incorporated in a kitchen furniture 15 with a sink and uses a commercial power supply of 200 V.
Reference numeral 15A is an installation port formed in the kitchen furniture 2. The cooking cooker 8 is supported by being placed on the rim of the installation port 15A. In the first embodiment, the kitchen furniture 15 is provided with a water tank 52 capable of temporarily storing water discharged from the water supply port 51 of the water supply, as shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 15B is an opening formed at a predetermined position of the kitchen furniture 15, and this opening is for exposing the front surface (the cover 71 side, which will be described later) to the front when the cooking cooker 8 is incorporated. The size of the opening 15B and the installation port 15A is a predetermined size according to the standard.

The usual method of incorporating the cooker 8 into the kitchen furniture 2 is as shown in FIG. FIG. 17 is a schematic view showing an intermediate stage of the work of assembling into the kitchen furniture 15. As shown in this figure, the main body case 53 is inserted into the installation port 15A while being tilted so that the front side (front side) of the main body case 53, which will be described later, is downward, and then the rear side of the main body case 53 is placed. When lowered, the cooking cooker 8 is placed on the peripheral edge of the installation port 15A of the kitchen furniture 15. Finally, in order to fix the state, tighten the screw and install it on the peripheral edge of the main body case 53. The installation is completed by moving (rotating) a certain fixing bracket (not shown) and pressing the fixing bracket strongly against the kitchen furniture 15. Since such an installation method has already been widely adopted, the detailed structure will not be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, the cooker 8 has a box-shaped main body case 53 constituting the outer shell of the main body 8A, a metal frame-shaped outer frame 54 fixed to the upper portion thereof, and the outer frame. It is composed of a top plate 55 made of heat-resistant tempered glass, which is mounted on the upper surface so as to cover substantially the entire upper surface of the above. Since the entire lower surface of the top plate 55 is covered with a painted surface that does not allow visible light to pass through, functional parts below the top plate 55, for example, the right IH coil 60R described later, cannot be visually recognized from above the top plate 55. It has become.

The cooking cooker 8 includes two induction heating units. One is the right IH coil (heating) installed below the induction heating unit (also referred to as the "heating port") located on the right side of the left and right center line CL1 (see FIG. 7) on the top plate 55. Source) 60R. This coil has a donut-like shape. The maximum thermal power of this right IH coil 60R is 3000W. The maximum external dimension (diameter) RR is 210 mm.

The other is a donut-shaped left-side induction heating coil 60L installed below the induction heating unit (also referred to as "heating port") arranged on the left side from the left-right center line CL1 (see FIG. 7). It has a shape. The maximum thermal power of the left heating coil 60L is 3000W. The maximum external dimension (diameter) RL is 210 mm. The right induction heating coil (heating source) 60R is hereinafter referred to as a "right IH coil". Further, the left induction heating coil (heating source) 60L will be hereinafter referred to as a "left IH coil".

In order to indicate the positions of the right IH coil 60R and the left IH coil 60L as a guide, circular marks 61L and 61R are formed on the upper surface of the top plate 55 by printing. The mark 61R on the right side cannot be seen in FIGS. 4 and 6.

The positions and sizes (diameter dimensions) of the circular marks 61R and 61L are determined according to the outer diameter dimensions of the left and right IH coils 60L and 60R. In FIGS. 7 and 8, the positions of the two IH coils 60L and 60R are indicated by circles, but since the top plate 55, which is opaque as described above, is actually on the top, these are indicated by the user. The IH coils 60L and 60R cannot be visually observed. Further, one or two of the two IH coils 61R and 61L may be replaced with a radiant electric heat source such as a radiant heater or an infrared heater.

As shown in FIG. 7, the left and right IH coils 60L and 60R are arranged symmetrically with respect to each other with the center line CL1 in between.

In FIGS. 4, 6, 7, and 9, 62 is a cooking utensil having an elliptical or rectangular planar shape (first cooking utensil), which is shown in detail in FIGS. 6, 11, and 15, respectively. As described above, it is composed of a plate portion 63 made of magnetic metal such as stainless steel or iron, and a lid 64 made of transparent heat-resistant glass that covers the upper portion of the plate portion. Reference numeral 65 denotes a knob for the user to carry the lid 64. Reference numeral 66 denotes a handle integrally molded at both ends of the dish portion 63.

The rectangular shape shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 7 indicates the range of the bottom surface of the dish portion 63, and does not indicate the outer shape of the dish portion 63. In other words, the minor axis dimension of the bottom surface of the dish portion 63 is as shown by reference numeral SS in FIG. The major axis dimension of the bottom surface of the dish portion 9A is as shown by reference numeral LS in FIG. The first cookware 62 is made exclusively for the cooker 8 (by the manufacturer of the cooker).

It has a main body case 53 formed of a thin metal plate to form other surfaces except the upper surface of the cooker 8.
As shown in FIG. 9, the main body case 53 is formed by bending a thin metal plate with a pressing device to form a U-shaped cross section, and the front side of the body case 53 is joined to the front side of the body by welding or screwing. A main body case having an entire upper surface opened is composed of a plate 53F and a rear plate 53H joined to the rear side of the body by welding or screwing. The top plate 55 covers the upper surface opening. The body portion 53U is composed of a left side surface portion 53L, a right side surface portion 53R, and a bottom surface portion 53B connecting the two in a series (see FIG. 10).

The rear surface plate 53H (see FIG. 9) may be formed by bending one metal thin plate, but is usually formed by joining two or three thin plates by welding or screwing. When the cooking cooker 8 is inserted into the installation port 15A (see FIG. 17), the 53J has an inclination formed so that the rear surface plate 53H does not hit the kitchen furniture 15 (on the rear surface plate 3H). It is a face part.

In FIG. 6, 58 is an intake port for the blower BM1 described later to introduce air from the outside of the main body case 53, and has a large number of small-diameter through holes on the back surface (rear surface) and the right side surface of the inclined surface portion 53J. Is formed in. The air introduced into the intake port is introduced from the gap GPU described later. That is, the fresh air in the living space 3 is sucked into the first blower BM1 via the gap GPU (see FIG. 14), and finally is discharged to the living space 3 again from the exhaust port 77.

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 70 denotes a storage chamber, which is one of the feature points of this embodiment. The storage chamber 70 is partitioned in the main body case 53. Here, "compartment formation" refers to a physical object (plate, wall, etc.) between the storage room 70 and the room of the cooling unit CU (see FIG. 10) in the lower space 112 described later. It is a state where air flow is not allowed by design because it is partitioned by metal or plastic).

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 71 denotes a cover (door) for closing the front opening of the storage chamber 70 so as to be openable and closable, and a tray 72 described later is connected to the cover (door). Reference numeral 73 denotes an insertion port that is openably and closably covered by the cover 71, through which an article can be put in and taken out of the storage chamber 70.

Since the outer shape of the first cooking utensil 62 has a simple structure in which handles 66 are integrally provided at both ends of the dish portion 63, when the first cooking utensil 62 is stored in the storage chamber 70 from the insertion port 73, and vice versa. Even when taking out through the insertion port 73, the user can move the dish portion 63 and the lid 64 at once, which is convenient.

If the handle 66 is provided at the uppermost portion of the dish portion 63 as shown in FIG. 6, the distance from the upper surface of the top plate 15 can be increased. That is, since the distance from the two IH coils 60L and 60R below the top plate 15 becomes large, it is possible to suppress the induction heating of the handle 66. It is desirable that the handle 66 is located at a position 5 cm or more away from the bottom surface of the dish portion 63 (the surface close to the upper surface of the top plate 15), but if the handle 66 is separated too much, the maximum height dimension of the dish portion 63 becomes larger. The height dimension of the storage chamber 70 and the insertion port 73 must be increased.

In FIG. 7, reference numeral 90 denotes a cooking utensil (second cooking utensil) having a circular planar shape, which is a large-diameter pot made of metal (at least the bottom surface is made of magnetic metal) which is generally commercially available. It is also possible to use a pot having a diameter smaller than that of the first cooking utensil 62 and the second cooking utensil 90.

In FIG. 14, the gap GPU is a gap formed between the lower surface of the cover 71 and the upper surface of the furniture surface material 80. This gap is formed in a size of about 2 cm to several millimeters (mm) in order to allow the cover 71 to move.

Since this gap GPU also communicates with the gap BS1 (see FIG. 13) described later, the first blower BM1 can introduce air from the gap GPU on the front side. Since the air intake is made by utilizing this gap, it is possible to omit installing the intake port on the upper surface of the main body case 53, so that the design of the upper surface can be expected to be improved. Further, it is possible to prevent inhalation of steam, oil smoke, etc. generated above the top plate 55. In FIG. 14, the GPT is formed to allow the cover 71 to move between the top surface of the handle portion 75 at the top of the cover 71 and the lower surface of the opening 15B on the front surface of the kitchen furniture 15. It is a gap of about 2 cm to several millimeters (mm).

In FIG. 6, 77 is two exhaust ports formed on the outer frame 54 at the rear portion fixed to the main body case 53, slightly separated from each other in the left-right direction. Reference numeral 78 is two exhaust covers placed on the exhaust port 77. As shown in FIG. 12, this exhaust cover has a cross-sectional shape in which the entire roof is curved so that the roof becomes higher toward the rear, and the exhaust flow can be changed to the rear. The exhaust cover 78 has a width dimension that covers the entire exhaust port 77, and is detachably fixed to the outer frame 54.

In FIG. 6, 84 is a right cover having a square front shape, and is entirely formed by integrally molding plastic. The right cover covers a portion on the front surface of the main body case 53 on the right side of the insertion port 73 of the storage chamber 70. The right cover has the same thickness as the cover 71, and is fixed to the front wall surface 53F of the main body case 53 so as to be adjacent to the right side of the cover 71. The height dimensions of the right cover 84 and the cover 30 are the same, and the surface colors of both are also the same. Note that FIG. 8 shows the outer shapes of the cover 71 and the right cover 84 for reference with broken lines. In FIG. 8, WD1 shows the width dimension of the cover 71, and is set to be larger than the width dimension of the insertion port 73, in other words, the frontage dimension.

In FIGS. 3, 5 and 6, the colors and surface morphologies (pattern, glossiness, unevenness, etc.) of the front surfaces 71F and 84F of the cover 71 and the right cover 84 constitute the front surface of the kitchen furniture 15. When combined with the color and surface morphology of the front surfaces of the furniture surface materials 80 and 81 to be used, a unified design feeling is further enhanced. For example, when the entire front surface of the furniture surface materials 80 and 81 is unified with a single color or wood grain design, the front surface 71F of the cover 71 and the front surface 84F of the right cover 84 are also unified with the same single color or wood grain design. For example, only the front 71F and 84F do not stand out in the kitchen furniture 15. The colors and patterns on the front surfaces of the cover 71 and the furniture surface materials 80 and 81 may be different to show the presence of the cover 71 that covers the insertion port 73 of the storage chamber 70.

Reference numeral 82 denotes a frame line printed on the front surface of the furniture surface materials 80 and 81, which does not form physical unevenness on the front surface of the furniture surface materials 80 and 81, but is a thin plate made of glossy metal. It may be a piece of furniture that has a high-class feel.

In FIG. 6, 109 shows the flow of the cooling air sucked into the intake port 58 of the cooking cooker 8 when the cooking cooker 8 is installed in the kitchen furniture 15 and the first blower BM1 is operated. Is.

Next, FIGS. 7 and 8 will be described.
As is clear from FIG. 7, on the upper surface of the top plate 15, a wide area from the front of the exhaust cover 78 to the rear end of the operation unit 93 described later is a cooking area 92 used for induction cooking. .. The meaning of this "heating area" does not mean that the entire area can be induced and heated by the IH coils 60L and 60R, and the first and second cooking utensils 62 and 90 and the like are temporarily placed when not cooking. Or, it can be placed for induction heating. AL indicates the length of the heating area 92 in the front-rear direction, that is, the depth dimension.

As is clear from FIG. 7, the central portions of the two IH coils 60L and 60R are located directly below the center line CL2 in the front-rear direction of the heating area 92. The installation heights of the two IH coils 60L and 60R are the same. In other words, it is arranged below the top plate 15 on the same horizontal plane.

In FIG. 7, the horizontally long rectangular portion shown by the broken line is the two exhaust ports 77. The width WB of these two exhaust ports 77 in the front-rear direction is unified to, for example, 30 mm or 40 mm. In other words, both the exhaust port 77 on the right side and the exhaust port 77 on the left side have a width WB of 30 mm or 40 mm in the front-rear direction.

In FIG. 7, WA1 is the width dimension of each of the two exhaust ports 77. For example, one dimension in the range of 200 mm to 250 mm.
As described above, the diameter RR of the IH coil 60R on the right side is 210 mm, and the diameter RL of the IH coil 60L on the left side is also 210 mm. WA2 is the distance between the coils measured with reference to the center point of the two IH coils. For example, WA2 is 300 mm.

WA3 is a width dimension (hereinafter, referred to as “first dimension”) measured with reference to the outer edges of the two IH coils, and is, for example, 510 mm.
WA4 is the maximum lateral width dimension (hereinafter, referred to as “second dimension”) from the right edge of the right exhaust port 77 to the left edge of the left exhaust port 77, and is, for example, 560 mm. This width dimension WA4 corresponds to about 93% or more of the maximum width dimension 598 mm (or 600 mm) of the top plate 55.

In FIG. 7, the CU is a cooling unit that cools the internal space of the main body 8A.
The outer case 107 of the cooling unit is composed of an upper lid portion 115 (see FIG. 10) formed of an electrically insulating plastic material and a lower side portion 116 combined with the upper lid portion 115 (see FIG. 10).
The lower side 116 is also made of an electrically insulating plastic material. There is a large opening behind the cooling unit CU, and the first blower BM1 is arranged so as to be in close contact with the back of the opening.

In FIGS. 7 and 9, reference numeral 93 denotes an operating portion formed on the front upper surface of the top plate 15, and as described below, the change in capacitance when the user lightly touches the top plate 15 with a finger or the like is used. Various input keys of the method that can be input by inputting are arranged in a straight line in the horizontal direction.
The operation unit 93 includes two, a right operation unit 93R and a left operation unit 93L.

In FIG. 7, reference numeral 94 denotes an operation button or operation key (touch input type) of the main power switch 95 that can supply and disconnect the commercial power supply 160 (see FIG. 16) to the control device 143 described later.

The positions of the left IH coil 60L and the right IH coil 60R and the storage chamber 70 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the storage chamber 70 is in the range on the left side of the right IH coil 60R, avoiding the position directly below the right IH coil 60R. In FIG. 8, the outer shape of the storage chamber 70 is shown by a broken line.
The main reason for this is that the magnetic influence from the right IH coil 60R is reduced as much as possible, and a space for separating the cooling unit CU and the storage chamber 70 is required. The cooling unit CU may be arranged on the left side, and the storage chamber 70 may be arranged in a range on the right side of the left IH coil 60L, avoiding the position directly below the left IH coil 60L.

Three touch-type input keys 96 are arranged on the right operation unit 93R. One or more input functions are assigned to these input keys 96. For example, the thermal power (power consumption) at the time of induction heating, the induction heating time, the induction heating pattern, and the like. The right operation unit 93R is for commanding the start and stop of operation of the right IH coil 60R and other energization conditions (time, thermal power, etc.). You can also select the type of cooking. For example, one of the cooking menus such as boiling water, fried food, and simmered food can be selected.

In the first embodiment, the operating conditions of the exhaust device 9 are determined according to the type of cooking (hereinafter referred to as "cooking type"). Since the type of cooking changes depending on the cooking menu (also referred to as "cooking mode"), an example of "cooking menu" will be described as follows.
(Boiler)
In the water heater, when the control device 143 commands the IH coil 60L (selected) to apply high frequency power with the thermal power (for example, 1 kW) set by the user in the operation unit 93, the temperature detection circuit 144 causes the object to be heated. The temperature of (for example, a pot, etc.) is measured from below the top plate 55 by an infrared temperature sensor at 1-second intervals and monitored.
The control device 143 heats the temperature toward a preset target temperature (for example, 98 ° C.), and the latest temperature information transmitted from the temperature detection circuit 144 becomes the target temperature (for example, 98 ° C.). If this is the case, it is determined that the coil has boiled, the energization of the IH coil 60L is stopped, and the voice synthesis notification unit 145 notifies that the coil has boiled.

Next, the control device 143 repeats stopping and starting heating so that the latest temperature information acquired from the temperature detection circuit 144 becomes a heat retention temperature (for example, 95 ° C.) lower than the above target temperature (S12). ). Alternatively, the heating power is lowered (for example, 100 W) to continuously energize.

In this way, if a command to stop heating or change the heating power is input from the user while maintaining the heat retention temperature, the heating will be performed in the "normal heating" mode after exiting the "boiler" mode. .. On the other hand, when a command from the user is not input and a certain time (for example, 10 minutes) has elapsed, the heating is stopped and the voice synthesizer 145 notifies the end.

(Fried food cooking)
Fried food cooking (also called "fried food cooking mode") is cooking performed by putting cooking oil in a heated container such as a metal pan. Usually, it is preferable that the amount of the oil is set to a predetermined amount or more and the temperature of the oil is controlled. In the first embodiment, the temperature of the oil is the temperature set in the fried food cooking mode (for example, 180 ° C.). It has an "automatic fried food" menu that controls the thermal power of the IH coils 60L and 60R so that the temperature rises to 200 ° C. in a short time.
Thawing tempura and croquettes is one type of fried food cooking. The most oily smoke is generated.

(Stew cooking)
In stew cooking, foods (ingredients) such as vegetables and meat are placed in a container to be heated, and the temperature is maintained at 60 to 70 ° C for several minutes together with water and cooking liquid, which is a temperature at which it does not easily collapse, and then 100 ° C. By heating to a nearby temperature, the vegetables do not crumble and the meat is cooked softly.

(Boiled)
This is a cooking menu for boiling vegetables, soba noodles, udon noodles, etc. Similar to the water boiling mode, optimum heating control is possible with respect to the amount of water at the initial stage of heating, and the heat retention state is maintained at a temperature of, for example, 98 ° C. or higher at a stage exceeding approximately 90 ° C. After that, the boiled food is added, and when the temperature of the hot water drops, the temperature is maintained at about 98 ° C. for heating. In the first embodiment, the energization method of the IH coils 60L and 60R is changed strongly or weakly, or turned on / off (intermittently) in order to prevent "blow-off" after the soba or udon is added. It is possible to keep the temperature of the hot water at about 97 ° C. and keep it constant at a temperature at which it is difficult for the water to blow out.

(Normal heating)
The control device 143 applies high-frequency power to the (selected) IH coil 60L with the thermal power (for example, 1 kW) set by the user in the operation unit 93, and the target temperature (for example, 98 ° C.) like a water heater is used. When the temperature becomes high, the energization of the IH coil 60L is stopped, the thermal power is automatically adjusted so as to maintain the temperature near the target temperature (for example, 95 ° C.), and the intermittent heating operation is performed. Absent. The temperature is monitored by the temperature detection circuit 144 to prevent overheating.

Since the first cooking utensil 62 is the largest as an article that can be freely taken out and stored in the storage chamber 70, the size of the insertion port 73 is determined in consideration of the external dimensions of the cooking utensil 62. Other articles that can be stored in the storage chamber 70 include, for example, an instruction manual attached to the cooking cooker 8 and a detergent that simply cleans the upper surface of the top plate 55 and the surface of the operation unit 93 after cooking. , Or another cooking utensil 90 (including the lid attached to it, if any).

The distance (height dimension) HS1 from the upper surface of the bottom wall 70B of the storage chamber 70 to the lower surface of the ceiling wall 70T is sufficiently larger than the maximum height dimension of the entire cooking utensil 62 including the knob 65, for example, 10 cm. .. Further, the dimensions from the insertion port 73 to the wall surface 70H on the back side are constant. The frontage (width dimension) of the insertion port 73 is, for example, 15 cm. Therefore, the planar shape of the storage chamber 70 is elongated and rectangular from the insertion port 73 toward the rear.

The size (width and height dimensions) of the insertion port 73 of the storage chamber 70 is set so that the dish portion 63 and the lid body 64 of the cooking utensil 62 described above can be inserted in an overlapping state. When the user stores the lid, it is not necessary to separate the lid 64 and the dish 63 or change the vertical direction, which is convenient.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the bottom surface portion 53B of the main body case 53, the range in which the storage chamber 70 can be installed is a range of a predetermined length 53K with reference to the front insertion port 73.

In FIG. 14, BS1 is a gap formed between the rear surface plate 53H and the back plate 15U of the kitchen furniture 15. The first blower BM1, which will be described later, sucks cooling air from this gap.

In FIG. 14, reference numeral 133 denotes a sealing material attached to the front surface of the main body case 53 at a position directly above the insertion port 73. This sealing material is made of a highly elastic material such as silicon rubber, and when the insertion port 73 is closed by the cover 71, the tip of the sealing material comes into contact with the back surface of the handle portion 75. The sealing material 133 does not have to keep the insertion port 73 side of the storage chamber 70 completely airtight. That is, with the cover 71 closed, the storage chamber 70 may have a gap (for example, a gap of about several mm) between the rim of the insertion port 73 and the cover 71 to allow air flow. ..

In FIG. 14, 71F shows the front surface of the cover 71, and this front surface is a decoration such as a door or a drawer that exists adjacent to the front surface of the cover 71 when the cooking cooker 8 is incorporated in the kitchen furniture 15.

The microcomputer is composed of four parts, an input unit, an output unit, a storage unit, and a CPU (arithmetic control unit), and the storage unit stores in advance an energization control program corresponding to various cooking menus. Is stored). In addition to the storage units (ROM, RAM) of the microcomputer, a large-capacity storage device 143R for recording abnormality monitoring information is built in.

During induction cooking, the control device 143 monitors the presence or absence of an electrical abnormality. Therefore, although not shown, the inverter circuit board 117 is provided with a plurality of voltmeters, ammeters (current sensors), and the like. Further, the control device 143 obtains temperature information from the temperature detection circuit 144 and monitors whether or not the main part of the cooker 8 has an abnormally high temperature. For example, the operation unit 93 and the IH coils 60L and 60R are monitored through the temperature detection circuit 144 so as not to exceed the predetermined temperature, and when the temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature, it is determined by the control device 143 that the state is in the "abnormal preliminary state". Will be done. Further, if the temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature (several ° C.), the risk increases, and the control device 143 recognizes it as a true abnormal state.

In the first embodiment, the "measurement object" of the temperature detection circuit 144 is an object to be cooked (foodstuff, cooking oil, etc.) placed in a container to be heated such as a pan, or a subject such as a metal pan or frying pan. Includes heated material (including first cooking utensil 62), top plate 55 and the like.

In this abnormal preliminary state, the heating operation does not stop immediately, but is improved by increasing the blowing capacity of the first blower BM1 that cools the internal space of the main body case 53. However, if the temperature rises further, it is determined by the control device 143 that it is in an abnormal state at that point, and the heating operation is stopped immediately. Therefore, for example, an inverter circuit that supplies high-frequency power to the right IH coil 60R that is in the heating operation. The power supply of 120R is cut off.

Then, at least the information indicating the electrical and physical change status of the main part of the cooking cooker 8 during the period from the abnormal preliminary state to the emergency stop (abnormality monitoring) is stored in the storage unit 143R of the control device 143. Stored inside. The abnormality monitoring information stored in the storage unit 143R reflects the history of electrical and physical changes from the time when the main power switch 95 is turned on to the start of acquisition and the time when cooking is stopped. Therefore, information on the cooking menu selected thereafter (for example, "boiled water", "simmered", "fried food", etc.) and the thermal power of induction heating is also recorded in chronological order. If an emergency stop occurs due to an abnormal condition on the way, the abnormality monitoring information will be stored in the storage device 143R up to that point.

Two inverter circuits 120L and 120R are built in the inverter circuit board 117.
The inverter circuit 120L is for supplying a high-frequency current to the left IH coil 60L, and is connected to a well-known resonance circuit to which a resonance capacitor or the like is connected.

The 120R is an inverter circuit for supplying a high frequency current to the IH coil 60R on the right side. The two inverter circuits 120L and 120R are driven independently of each other by the control device 143.

Reference numeral 145 is a voice synthesizer for synthesizing electronically created voice, and the speaker 146 notifies the user of operation guidance, notification information of abnormality occurrence, etc. each time by voice.

Reference numeral 144 is the temperature detection circuit described above. A plurality of temperature sensors (not shown) are connected to this temperature detection circuit.
The temperature detection circuit 144 includes the temperature of the first cooking utensil 62 on the top plate 55 heated by the two IH coils 60L and 60R, the temperature of the top plate 55, the atmospheric temperature of the upper space 113, and the inverter circuit 120L. , 120R, the temperature of the display screen 91, etc. is detected. Then, the temperature detection results are transmitted to the control device 143 as temperature detection information at any time. The temperature sensor (not shown) may be a non-contact type such as an infrared sensor or a contact type such as a thermistor, and they are used alone or in combination.

Reference numeral 147 is a clock circuit also called a real-time clock, which is supplied with power from a dedicated power supply (built-in battery) BT1 different from the power supply circuit 148 connected to the main power supply switch 95 described later, and is driven for a long period of time. It is supposed to be done. This may be, for example, a radio clock, which always informs the current date and the exact time in seconds if requested by the control device 143, and is set to the correct date and time at the manufacturing stage of the cooker 8. .. Therefore, even if the main power of the cooking cooker 1 is turned off and then turned on again, the time information of this clock circuit is not affected, and there is a function of always transmitting the latest correct time to the control device 143. Therefore, the abnormality monitoring information recorded in the storage device 143R of the control device 143 is also always recorded and stored at the same time with an accurate time.

Reference numeral 156 is a vibration-sensitive device that detects shaking when an earthquake occurs. When a predetermined seismic intensity (acceleration) or higher is detected, a vibration detection signal is sent to the control device 143, and the control device 143 receives the signal and causes an earthquake. It is determined that it has occurred, and the power supply of all the IH coils 60L and 60R in use is shut off instantly.

Reference numeral 150 denotes a wireless communication means. This wireless communication means may be built in the main body case 53 of the cooking cooker 8 or may be connected to the power supply circuit 148 of the cooking cooker 8 in the form of an adapter described later, but in the first embodiment , Adopts the adapter format.

The "adapter" refers to a control device provided between an individual home electric appliance such as a cooker 8 and a power source thereof. For example, the adapter referred to here refers to an adapter as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-205821 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-55523, and is an electric device having a power plug and an outlet and for controlling energization of the outlet. (In the first embodiment, the cooking device 8) is connected.
Then, when the adapter receives the power command signal by wireless communication, it limits or cuts off the power supply of the household appliance (heat cooker 8) to be controlled. In this way, an adapter is connected to an existing home appliance (heat cooker 8), and a power command signal is sent to the adapter from a power control device (not shown) that limits the total amount of power in the home, and the signal is used. Since the adapter controls the heating cooker 8, the power consumption can be centrally controlled by the power command device 10 by interposing the adapter on the power supply side of the existing heating cooker 8.

As shown in FIG. 7, the operation unit 93 has an input key 98. When the input key 98 is touch-operated, the control device 143 is connected to the integrated management device 10 via the wireless communication means 150, and is connected to the communication network 18 in the external space of the house 1 via the integrated management device 10. Information useful for using the first cooking utensil 62 is acquired from a server 19 which is connected and installed by an external organization such as an information provider. The acquired information is stored in the storage device 143R. The acquired information is displayed on the display screen 91, or in addition to this display, the voice synthesizer 145 notifies the speaker 146 by voice.

In FIG. 16, 148 is a drive circuit for driving the display screen 91. This drive circuit is connected to the control device 143. Although not shown, the drive circuit 148 includes a display memory, a display controller, an interface, a power supply circuit, a common driver, and a segment driver, respectively.

In FIG. 16, reference numeral 151 denotes a drive circuit for driving the motor 152 of the first blower BM1, and the operation is controlled by the control device 143.
Reference numeral 155 is a transmission unit whose transmission is controlled by the control device 143, and transmits an infrared signal. The infrared signal is a command signal including various operation information for the exhaust device 9. For example, the start of heating operation is 01, the cooking menu is 02 for "oil cooking", 03 for "boiler", 04 for stopping heating operation, 05 for high thermal power (operating intensity), and "medium" for exhaust operation intensity. The "medium operation mode" is 06, the "weak operation mode" which also means "weak (small)" of the operation intensity is 07, and so on. A code indicating the length of cooking time may be included. For example, the cooking time of 30 minutes is specified by a code such as 30 and 45 minutes by a code such as 45. However, in this case, a clock function such as a clock circuit is required on the exhaust device 9 side.
Reference numeral 154 is an infrared light emitting element that emits a signal.

Since it has the above configuration, the cooking operation will be described next.
The configuration of the control relationship of the cooking device 8 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, when the user turns on the main power switch 95, electric energy is supplied to the power circuit 148 via the main power switch. Then, a predetermined constant pressure current is supplied from this power supply circuit, and the control device 143 is started.

The control device 143 activates the temperature detection circuit 144, the speech synthesizer 145, and the display unit drive circuit 148, and when an abnormal temperature state is not detected by the temperature detection circuit and when an abnormal voltage or current is not detected. Completes the self-check operation at startup. Then, the fact that cooking can be started is displayed on the display screen 91, and the voice synthesizer 145 notifies through the speaker 146.

Therefore, the cover 71 of the storage chamber 70 is pulled out toward the front, and the first cooking utensil 62 is taken out and placed at a position directly above the left IH coil 60L, for example, as shown in FIG. The first cooking utensil 62 can be used for induction heating cooking only by the dish portion 63, but when the lid 64 is used at the same time, the food to be cooked (for example, fish, meat, etc.) does not scatter and the hot air. Does not escape, so the heating efficiency is improved.

When the reed switch 132 forming a part of the safety device SD is opened (OFF) after the control device 143 completes the self-check operation at the time of startup, the saucer 71 is set at the innermost part of the storage chamber 70. It is determined that it is pulled out from the position. After that, it is detected whether or not an object to be heated (including the first cooking utensil 62) such as a metal pot is placed on any of the two IH coils 60L and 60R (such a detection method). Since various methods have already been proposed, detailed explanations will be omitted).

When the control device 143 detects that the first cooking utensil 62 is on the left IH coil 60L or the right IH coil 60R, the display screen 91 and the voice synthesizer 145 set the cooking conditions to the operation unit 93. Encourage the user to input from.
When the first cooking utensil 62 is placed on the left IH coil 60L, the heating power, heating time, etc. are input using the three input keys 97 on the left operation unit 93L, and the input keys are used. If a command to start heating is input in one of 97, the inverter circuit 120L is driven by the control device 143, and (induction) cooking is executed.

When the input key 98 on the operation unit 93 is touch-operated before, during, or after the execution of such induction cooking, the control device 143 becomes an integrated management device via the wireless communication means 150. 10 is connected to the communication network 18, and information useful for using the first cooking utensil 62 is acquired in real time from the server 19, and the acquired information is stored in the storage device 143R while the display screen 91. In addition to this display, the voice synthesizer 145 notifies the user by voice from the speaker 146, so that the user can use useful external information when using the first cooking utensil 62. , Convenient. For example, when grilling fish, it is possible to know the thermal power of the heating coil 8L.

During the execution of such cooking, the user can stop the heating operation at an arbitrary timing, and the stop command can be given by one of the input keys 97. In an emergency, the automatic stop can be easily performed by pressing the operation key 94 of the main power switch 95.

As shown in FIG. 13, the first cooking utensil 62, which has finished cooking, pulls out the cover 71 of the storage chamber 70 toward the front, pulls the saucer 72 forward from the storage chamber 70, and then pulls the saucer 72 forward. The first cooking utensil 62 may be placed on top. Even if the first cooking utensil 62 is still immediately after cooking and the temperature is high, there is no problem because the saucer 72 is made of metal or heat-resistant plastic.

The control device 143 detects that the saucer 72 has been returned to a predetermined position at the innermost part of the storage chamber 70 when the reed switch 132 forming a part of the safety device SD is turned on. This state is also a state in which the cover 71 closes the insertion port 73. Therefore, the storage room 70 has returned to a closed space where there is no air communication with the outside. Therefore, as described above, due to the influence of the first cooking utensil 62 having a high temperature, the internal atmosphere of the storage room 70 It is expected that the temperature will rise. However, in the first embodiment, the storage chamber 70 is designed in consideration of such a temperature rise, and the outer temperature of the main body case 53 and the surface temperature of the cover 71 are not raised above a predetermined temperature. It is difficult to imagine that the first cooking utensil 62, which is actually used for cooking and is contaminated by the adhesion of foods, seasonings, etc., is stored in the storage chamber 70 as it is immediately after its use. Actually, the first cooking utensil 62 is stored in the storage chamber 70 after being cleaned, washed, or the like once and cooled.

As one of the measures to suppress the temperature rise of the internal atmosphere of the storage chamber 70, ventilation holes may be provided on the back surface, the ceiling surface, etc. of the storage chamber 70, and the storage chamber 70 may be communicated with the upper space 113 or the exhaust port 77. .. In that case, if the air is cooled more positively, a part of the cooling air of the first blower BM is introduced into the storage chamber 70 and discharged from the inside of the storage chamber 70, and finally the hot air of the storage chamber 70 is exhausted. However, the exhaust flow may be discharged from the main body case 53 to the outside in the same manner as the exhaust flow from the exhaust port 77 (see FIG. 13).

In the above description, the cooking was performed using the first cooking utensil 62, but other general cooking utensils such as metal pots and frying pans, that is, the above-mentioned second cooking utensil 90 can also be used for cooking. It is possible.

Next, the operation of the control device 143 when the touch-type input key 99 for the confirmation command requesting the existence result of the first cooking utensil 62 is operated with respect to the control device 143 will be described. When the input key 99 is operated, the control device 143 detects whether or not the first cooking utensil 62 is inside the storage chamber 70. Therefore, it is magnetically determined that the storage chamber 70 has a sensor for discriminating between the presence and absence of the first cooking utensil 62, for example, the first cooking utensil 62 at a predetermined position on the saucer 72. Alternatively, a sensor that detects optically or by weight is provided separately.

When the reed switch 132 detects that the cover 71 is opened and then closed, it determines the change in magnetic, optical or weight (the weight including the saucer 72 may be sufficient) before and after the opening. Therefore, the presence of the first cooking utensil 62, which is relatively heavy (for example, weighs 300 g or more), is detected. If there is a first cooking utensil 62, the presence or absence of the cooking utensil 62 is displayed on the display screen 91 or notified by the voice synthesizer 145 immediately after the input key 99 is operated. For example, even when another cooking is performed on the right IH coil 60R, the stowed state of the first cooking utensil 62 can be immediately confirmed without pulling out the cover 71 forward, so that cooking is interrupted. It is convenient for the user because there is no need to do it.

Next, the flow of the cooling air by the first blower BM1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8, 12, and 13.
When the inverter circuit 120L is driven by the control device 143 and cooking is executed, the control device 143 activates the motor drive circuit 151 in synchronization with this, and rotationally drives the motor 152 of the first blower BM1.

Then, the first blower BM1 generates an intake flow from the outside of the cooking cooker 8 (in FIG. 6) as shown by an arrow 109 from a large number of intake ports 58 provided at the rear of the main body case 53.
Therefore, fresh air in the living space 3 is sucked from the gap GPU formed below the decorative plate 84 to the first blower BM1 via the gap GPU. Since the air intake is made using the gap GPU in this way, it is possible to omit installing the intake port on the upper surface of the main body case 53, and it is expected that the design of the upper surface of the cooking cooker 8 will be improved. it can.

Fresh air outside the main body case 53 is sucked in from the suction port of the first blower BM1 and forcibly sent into the inside of the cooling unit CU. Since the sent air flows through the surface of the inverter circuit board 117 in the process of traveling from the rear to the front inside the cooling unit CU (outer case 107), aluminum on which the circuit element 117 that generates heat by electric power control is mounted. While cooling the heat radiation fin 118 manufactured by the manufacturer, it reaches the opening 101 on the ceiling surface of the cooling unit CU.

Then, the cooling air goes from the opening 101 to the right IH coil 60R just above the opening 101. Then, it collides with the right IH coil 60R in the upper space 113 and takes away the heat. Then, the cooled air turns 180 degrees backward and heads toward the exhaust port 77 behind. Finally, as shown by arrow 111R in FIG. 8, it passes through the exhaust port 77 through the ventilation window 129 on the right side and is discharged to the outside of the cooking cooker 8.

On the other hand, the remaining cooling air that has traveled to the front of the cooling unit CU is blown upward from the opening 102 formed on the ceiling surface at the front end of the cooling unit, and toward the left side as shown by the arrow 110 in FIG. Proceed and collide with the left IH coil 8R to remove its heat. This prevents the IH coil 60L from being overheated. Even when the left IH coil 60L is not driven and is not heated, such cooling air supply is continuously performed during cooking.

Further, the cooling air after cooling the left IH 60L also travels backward from the periphery of the left IH coil 60L as shown by arrow 111L in FIG. 8, and finally blows out from the exhaust port 77 into the living space 3. It will be.

As shown in FIG. 12, the air that has cooled the left coil 60L and the right coil 60R and has reached the ventilation window 129 is once turned upward from the horizontal direction and is formed under the exhaust cover 78. Guided by a gently curved surface. Then, as shown by the arrow 111L, the exhaust cover 78 is discharged diagonally upward from the rear end edge 128. That is, it is blown out in the direction of the vertical wall 11 of the kitchen or the like constituting the living space 3, but this exhaust flow contains smoke and odor after roasting conventional foodstuffs such as meat and fish. Since it is not a thing, oil smoke, burnt odor of foodstuffs, and the like do not adhere to the vertical wall 11.

Next, it will be described that the temperature rise of the storage chamber 70 is suppressed by the air flow from the first blower BM1 as described above.
Normally, the IH coils 60L and 60R are provided with a means for preventing leakage magnetic flux called a magnetic shield ring around the coil base 69 that supports them, but the ceiling wall 70T of the storage chamber 70 directly below the left IH coil 60L is provided. There is a concern that the temperature will rise due to the influence of the left IH coil 60L, which is induced and heated at a position directly above. Especially when the inverter circuit 120L is driven by a 200V power supply and heated with a particularly large thermal power (for example, 3000W), it is strongly affected by the high frequency magnetic field even below the left IH coil 60L, so it is made of the nearest metal. For example, the ceiling wall 70T will be heated. Further, when the temperature of the horizontal partition plate 100 rises, there is a concern that the storage chamber 70 in which the ceiling wall 70T is close to the horizontal partition plate 100 via the gap SP2 is also indirectly warmed.

Therefore, in the first embodiment, a gap SP1 (see FIG. 13) is provided between the left IH coil 60L and the horizontal partition plate 100, and the gap SP1 (see FIG. 13) provides heat insulation from the horizontal partition plate 100 to the storage chamber 70 side in this gap. Decided to improve. According to this configuration, since the cooling air flows under the entire lower side of the left induction coil 60L, the temperature rise of the horizontal partition plate 100 is suppressed.

By the way, the cooling air supplied from the cooling unit CU below the left IH coil 60L cools the inverter circuit 120L (when induction heating is performed only by the left IH coil 60L, only the inverter circuit 120L is driven. Since the room temperature of the air is raised by several ° C to 10 ° C, the air is not yet warm even when it reaches just below the left IH coil 60L. Therefore, the effect of suppressing the temperature rise of the horizontal partition plate 100 can be expected.

In the first embodiment, the first blower BM1 has a predetermined time (for example, several minutes to 10 minutes) even after the drive of one or both of the two inverter circuits 120L and 120R is stopped by the control device 143. Degree) The control program of the control device 143 is set so that the operation is continued.

Even after a certain period of time has passed since the heating operation of the IH coils 60L and 60R was stopped, a plurality of temperature sensors (not shown) that transmit the temperature measurement result to the temperature detection circuit 144 still display the ambient temperature inside the cooling unit CU. , The internal parts (including the display screen 91) of the upper space 113 above the horizontal partition plate 100, the temperature of the top plate 55, and the like are individually measured. Then, until the temperature detection circuit 144 determines that the temperature has dropped to a predetermined temperature, the control device 143 issues a drive command to the drive circuit 151 of the first blower BM1. Therefore, the inverter circuit 120L Even after the drive of the 120R is stopped, the cooling by the first blower BM1 is continued until the temperature of the upper space 113 is sufficiently lowered.

The first blower BM1 may reduce the rotation speed of the motor 76 to automatically switch to the energy-saving operation after the drive of the inverter circuits 120L and 120R is stopped, but for the purpose of improving the indoor air quality described later. Further, the predetermined rotation speed may be maintained, and the exhaust flow from the exhaust port 77 may be maintained. This will be explained later.

Next, the significance of the gap SP2 formed between the horizontal partition plate 100 and the storage chamber 70 will be described. Since the gap SP2 is set so that the distance from the left IH coil 8L is at least 5 cm, preferably 6 cm or more, the upper wall surface 70T is magnetically affected from the left IH coil 60L. I rarely receive it. Therefore, there is no concern that the storage chamber 70 itself is induced to be heated, and even if metal accessories, pots, etc. are stored inside the storage chamber 70, there is no concern that they are induced to be heated. Therefore, even if metal articles and glass containers or the like containing seasonings or the like that should avoid temperature rise are mixed inside the storage chamber 70, those seasonings or the like are deteriorated or deteriorated. You can avoid the problem of getting rid of it.

(Basic operation of cooker 8)
Next, the heating operation of the cooking device 8 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 19.
The flowchart shown in FIG. 18 shows the basic operation steps of the cooking device 8.
First, the user presses the push button 94 of the main power switch 95 to turn on the main power (S1). Then, power is applied to the control device 143 via the power supply circuit 148, and the control device 143 obtains temperature information from the temperature detection circuit 144 to check whether the main part of the cooker is at an abnormally high temperature. Self-check (S2).
In this step, the operation information signal L1 is transmitted to the integrated management device 10 that also serves as the power command device. The transmission is performed from the wireless communication means 150.

If no abnormality is found, the control device 143 activates the display unit drive circuit 148 of the display screen 91. Then, on the display screen 91, it is displayed that the cooking menu can be selected and cooking can be started. At the same time, the voice synthesizer 145 notifies the content similar to the content displayed on the display screen 91 by voice (S3).

After that, on the display screen 91, an object to be heated such as a metal pot is placed above any of the left and right IH coils 60L and 60R, and characters prompting the user to select a cooking menu are displayed (S4).

In this state, when the user touches, for example, a specific one of the three input keys 96 of the right operation unit 93R, the cooking menu is selected. In step S5, the right operation unit 93R checks whether the input key 96 has been operated (S5), and if this step is “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S7, and the operation information signal is sent to the integrated management device 10. Send L2R. The transmission is performed from the wireless communication means 150. Then, the process proceeds to the menu selection step S9 for cooking with the right IH coil 60R.

If step S5 is "No", the process proceeds to step S6, and in step S6, the left operation unit 93L checks whether the input key 97 has been operated.
When this step S6 is “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S8, and the operation information signal L2L is transmitted to the integrated management device 10. The transmission is performed from the wireless communication means 150. Then, the process proceeds to the menu selection step S10 for cooking with the left IH coil 60L.

Next, it is assumed that the cooking by the left IH coil 60L is selected in step S6 in the left operation unit 93L, and the following description will be given.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the control device 143 showing the process of selecting a menu for cooking, and is defined by an operation program of a microcomputer constituting the core of the control device 143.

First, the cooking menu is displayed in characters (including pictograms) on the display screen 91 (S11). In this case, four types of "boiled water", "simmered", "fried food", and "boiled" shall be displayed. Among them, "fried food" is a cooking that uses cooking oil from the beginning, and is distinguished from the other three. The reason for this will be explained later.

When the input key 97 is operated while the cooking menu is displayed and only one of "boiled", "stewed", "fried food", "fried food", and "boiled" is selected, the cooking menu is confirmed in step S12. It becomes.

Next, the control device 143 displays only the selected cooking menu on the display screen, and the voice synthesizer 145 notifies by voice that the cooking menu is confirmed. Further, the selection result of the cooking menu is notified to the integrated management device 10 by transmitting the operation information signal L3 (S13). The transmission is performed from the wireless communication means 150.

By the way, in step S13, the control device 143 transmits the information specifying the cooking menu by including it in the operation information signal, or immediately after the transmission.
In this embodiment, a specific code of 001 for "fried food", 002 for "boiled water", 003 for "simmered", and 004 for "boiled" is generated and transmitted from the transmitter 150, but this code 001 is exhaust. On the device 9 side, it can be deciphered as fried food cooking. It is preferable that the communication rules between the exhaust device 9 and the cooker 8 match in advance (often manufactured by the same manufacturer). However, when the kitchen furniture 15 is installed, a conformity test is first carried out between the exhaust device 9 and the cooking cooker 8, and the installer adjusts according to the manufacturer's installation manual and the like so as to cooperate with each other. That's fine. Alternatively, if the exhaust device 9 and the cooking cooker 8 are designed in accordance with one standard, it is possible to easily determine the contents of the cooking menu as described above.

The exhaust device 9 may not have a function of determining whether or not the fried food is cooked as described above. It suffices if the information that specifies the exhaust air volume from the cooking device 8 side can be identified.

In the next step S14, the control device 143 waits for the arrival of a "permission signal" permitting execution of the selected cooking menu. Since the integrated management device 10 also serves as a "power command device" for the heating cooker 8, the maximum power consumption permitted to be used in the house 1 is calculated. That is, the power consumption of another electric device EE, which is subject to power limitation, such as the air conditioner 5, and the power consumption when the selected cooking menu is executed by the heating cooker 8 are calculated. The system is such that it is determined whether or not the amount of electric power permitted by one breaker BK is exceeded, and if there is a predetermined margin, a driving permission signal is transmitted.

When the cooking menu is "fried food", the maximum power consumption used is 2000 W, so the heating cooker 8 requests the power command device (integrated management device) 10 to consume this power.
The power designation device calculates the maximum power consumption of the house 1 on the premise of this power consumption. However, two types of "fried foods" may be provided so that the user can select either "manual fried foods" in which the maximum heating power can be selected and "automatic fried foods" in which the user cannot select the maximum heating power. In this case, the integrated management device 10 determines that the former is "expected maximum power consumption of 2000 W", and the integrated management device 10 determines that "expected maximum power consumption is 1800 W" in the latter case.

The cooker 8 has a function of limiting its own power consumption so that the maximum consumption output of the "manual fried food" is 1800 W and the maximum consumption output of the "automatic fried food" is 2000 W. Therefore, when "automatic fried food" is selected in the cooking menu, the maximum power required from the cooking device 8 to the power command device (integrated management device) 10 is automatically determined to be 2000 W. Therefore, the integrated management device 10 may not have the function of determining the expected maximum power consumption as described above.

In the cooker 8 of the first embodiment, the safety of cooking fried food is emphasized, and only "automatic fried food" can be selected first. The following description is based on the premise of "automatic fried food". The automatic fried food is simply referred to as "fried food" and will be described below.

When the control device 143 receives the "permission signal" of the selected cooking menu from the integrated management device 10 in step S14, the control device 143 proceeds to the next step S15.
In the next step S15, an operation information signal L4 indicating that the cooking operation of the “automatic fried food” has been started is transmitted to the integrated management device 10. The integrated management device 10 knows the start of operation of the cooking device 8 and performs an operation of grasping a change in power consumption.

When cooking with the left IH coil 60L, high frequency power is applied to the left IH coil 60L in order to drive the inverter circuit 120L. At the same time as the start of cooking, the first blower BM1 is started to operate, and cooling air is introduced into the cooking device 8.

In the next step S16, the elapsed time from the time when the cooking is started is determined.
This judgment reference time is determined for each cooking menu. For example, "automatic fried food" and "fried food" take 30 seconds, and "boiled water" and "boiled food" take 60 seconds.

In step S16, when 30 seconds have passed in the case of "automatic fried food", a "Yes" determination is made and the process proceeds to the next step S17.
In step S17, the control device 143 commands the transmission unit 155 to transmit a command signal (control signal) F0 for starting the exhaust operation toward the exhaust device 9.

On the other hand, when the temperature detection circuit 144 that monitors the temperature of the object to be heated (including the first cooking utensil 62) detects a predetermined temperature T0 (see FIG. 22), the control device 143 determines the exhaust device 9 In response to this, the infrared light emitting element 154 transmits a command signal F0 for starting the exhaust operation.

In the first embodiment, as described above, the progress of the cooking process is monitored in terms of the elapsed time from the start of cooking and the temperature rise, and one of the conditions is satisfied. In this case, the command signal F0 for starting the exhaust operation is transmitted. Therefore, the operation of the exhaust device 9 is highly reliable and safe.

The control signal transmitted in step S17 causes the exhaust device 9 to operate in the "weak operation mode". Then, the process proceeds to step SA1 of FIG.

Next, FIG. 20 will be described.
FIG. 20 shows the operation of the control device 143 of the cooking device 8. Hereinafter, the operations after step S17 in FIG. 19 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 20.
Step SA1 is a step of determining whether or not the oil cooking menu is selected and the cooking is started.

In the case of oil cooking, this step SA1 is “Yes”, so next, “environmental information” of the living space (kitchen) 3 where the cooking device 8 is located is acquired from the integrated management device 10.
In addition, information indicating whether or not the air purifier 7 is in operation is acquired from the integrated management device 10 (SA2). The integrated environment detection unit 16 cooks oil in the integrated environment detection unit 16 when the cooking cooker 8 receives the operation information signal L4 instead of inquiring to the integrated management device 10 each time after the cooking starts. It may be possible to grasp this and automatically transmit the information on whether or not the air purifier 7 is operating to the cooking cooker 8.

If the air purifier 7 is in operation in step SA3, the process proceeds to step SA4, and a request signal is transmitted to the integrated environment detection unit 16 to stop the operation of the air purifier 7 (SA4). ..

Next, when the temperature detection circuit 144 that monitors the temperature of the object to be heated (including the first cooking utensil 62) detects a predetermined temperature T1 (see FIG. 22), the control device 143 is an exhaust device. A command signal for changing the conditions of exhaust operation is transmitted from the infrared light emitting element 154 to 9. The command signal transmitted here is indicated by F1.
In this case, the "weak operation mode" is changed to the "medium operation mode".

Next, when the temperature detection circuit 144 detects a predetermined temperature T2 (see FIG. 22), the control device 143 transmits a command signal for changing the exhaust operation conditions from the infrared light emitting element 154 to the exhaust device 9. (SA5). The command signal transmitted here is indicated by F2.
In this case, the "medium operation mode" is changed to the "strong operation mode". Then, the exhaust device 9 changes the operating conditions of the electric fan 26F, and as shown by the arrow FF1 in FIG. 2, sucks the air of the living space 1 from below more strongly and discharges it to the outside as shown by the arrow FF2. (SA5).

In the operation program of the control device 143, when the temperature of the object to be measured exceeds the second predetermined temperature T2, which is higher than the first predetermined temperature T1, in the preheating step, a second control signal (command signal) is used. After transmitting F2, proceed to the fried food process and the heating power up process. Then, during the execution of the fried food process and the heating power increasing process, the control device 143 does not transmit a control signal for changing from the "second operation" mode to the "first operation" mode. Therefore, once the mode is changed to the "strong operation mode", the mode is not returned to the "medium operation mode".

During cooking, the exhaust device 9 continues to operate in the "strong operation" mode. Therefore, warm air containing steam rising from the heating cooker 8 and the smell of heated food is indicated by the arrow FF1 in FIG. It rises as shown, is introduced into the exhaust device 9, and does not flow in the direction of the air purifier 7 as indicated by the arrow FF3. Further, since the air purifier 7 has already stopped, as shown by the arrow FF4 in FIG. 2, the hot air and odor of cooking do not flow to the farthest part from the cooking cooker 3 in the living space 3. Absent.

When the started cooking is stopped by the control device 143, it is determined whether or not 3 minutes have passed since the supply of the high frequency current to the left IH coil 60L was stopped (SA6).

In the exhaust device 9 of the first embodiment, when the heating operation is completed, the control device 143 monitors whether or not 3 minutes have elapsed from that time, and when 3 minutes have passed, the predetermined end command signal emits the infrared light. It is transmitted from the element 145 to the receiving unit (not shown) of the exhaust device 9 (SA7). Instead of measuring the passage of time on the cooking device 8 side, a heat sensing means such as a thermoelectromotive force element for measuring the temperature on the top plate 55 side is provided on the exhaust device 9 side to estimate cooking. The exhaust operation may be automatically terminated.

After that, the exhaust device 9 wirelessly transmits a signal of the end of operation from the communication unit 23 to the integrated management device 10, so that the integrated management device 10 receives the signal and the exhaust device 9 has stopped operating, and the latest environment. The information and the information are transmitted to the heating cooker 8 (SA11).

Then, when the control device 143 finds that the air is dirty and the air quality is poor, a predetermined signal requesting the start of operation of the air purifier 7 is transmitted to the integrated management device 10 (SA13).

Even after the operation of the exhaust device 9 is completed, the integrated environment detection unit 16 of the integrated management device 10 measures the air quality of the living space at predetermined time intervals, so that the heating cooker 8 is like step SA12. The operation of the air purifier 7 is automatically started as needed even if no operation is performed. Therefore, step SA12 may be omitted as the cooking cooker 8, and the cooking cooker 8 is not essential.

On the other hand, when other than oil cooking is started in step SA1, the process proceeds to step SA8, and the control device 143 reads out the environmental information of the living space 3 stored in the storage device 143R to see if the air is dirty. Whether or not (SA9). If the air is dirty, the process proceeds to step SA5, and the control device 143 sends a command signal F2 to the exhaust device 9 from the infrared light emitting element 154 to start the exhaust operation in the "strong operation" mode. (SA5).

If it is determined in step SA9 that the air is not contaminated, the process proceeds to step SA10, and the control device 143 exhausts the exhaust device 9 from the infrared light emitting element 154 to the "medium operation" mode. Sends a command signal to change.
After that, the process proceeds to step SA6 described above, and the following description will be omitted.

The operation mode of the exhaust device 9 is only three stages of "strong operation" mode, "medium operation" mode, and "weak operation" mode. The "medium operation" mode refers to an operation in which the exhaust air volume per unit time is smaller than that in the "strong operation" mode and the exhaust capacity is larger than that in the "weak operation" mode. Since the opening area of the exhaust port 77 does not change at all in each operation mode, the wind speed of the exhaust flow is the slowest in the "weak operation mode".

FIG. 21 shows that the cooking cooker 8 is a representative product of the home electric appliance EE, and operation information (execution of cooking menu, setting of thermal power, etc.) is provided at any time in the entire process from turning on the power of the cooking device to turning off the power. This is a timetable showing a situation in which the total electric energy of the house 1 is managed by being transmitted to the electric power command device 10 which also serves as an integrated management device. Even in another electric device EE registered in advance by the user as a target for limiting the amount of electric power used, for example, the air conditioner 7, operation information is transmitted to the electric power command device 10 at any time basically in the same manner as the heating cooker 8. doing.

In FIG. 21, L1 to L8 are typical operation information signals transmitted from the cooking device 8 to the power command device 10. L1 is a signal indicating that the main power is turned on (ON), and L2 is information on selecting a heating port. When the left IH coil 60L is selected, L2 becomes L2L.

FIG. 21 shows a case where the left heating port by the left IH coil 60L is selected. L3 is information on selecting a cooking menu, and indicates a case where (automatic) "fried food" is selected from various cooking menus such as boiling water, stewing, and cooking fried food.

L4 indicates the operation information in which the inverter circuit 120L is actually driven and the heating operation is started. L5 indicates the operation information in which the predetermined temperature T1 is detected. L6 detects the target temperature T2 (for example, 180 ° C.) of the preheating process shown in FIG. 22, and indicates the operation information in which the fried food process is started. In this cooking cooker 8, as described with reference to FIG. 22, the process from the fried food cooking process to the heating power up process is defined as the “priority cooking menu execution time zone”, and during this execution time zone, external operations and operations are performed. The directive prevents power reductions. That is, whether or not the cooking cooker 8 is actually in the "execution time zone of the priority cooking menu" is determined by whether or not this information L6 or later (however, the next information L6 is not received). ..

F0 is a command signal (control signal) for starting the operation of the exhaust device 9. F1 is a command signal (control signal) for operating the exhaust device 9 in the "medium operation" mode. These two signals are transmitted from the infrared light emitting element 154 toward the exhaust device 9 by the transmitting unit 155.
The control signal F0 is determined to be transmitted in step S16 of FIG. As described above, it is determined based on the elapsed time from the start of cooking and the temperature rise state.

The reference time for judging by the elapsed time is determined for each cooking menu. For example, "fried food" takes 30 seconds, and "boiled" and "boiled" take 60 seconds. That is, in the case of automatically fried food, the command signal (control signal) F0 is transmitted 30 seconds after the time of the operation information signal L4. Further, as described above, when the temperature detection circuit 144 detects that the predetermined temperature T0 has been reached before this time, the command signal (control signal) F0 is similarly transmitted.

As shown in FIG. 21, when the control signal F0 is transmitted, a special operation information signal (F0A) that requests the integrated management device 10 to start the operation of the exhaust device 9 from the cooking cooker 8). May be sent. With this signal, even if the control signal F0 from the heating cooker 8 does not reach the exhaust device 9 due to some trouble, the integrated management device 10 can start the operation of the exhaust device 9, and the exhaust device 9 can be started. It can be expected to improve the reliability of the exhaust system including.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 21, when the control signal F1 is transmitted, the heating cooker 8 to the exhaust device 9 are operated in the "medium operation" mode with respect to the integrated management device 10. A special driving information signal (F1A) may be transmitted. Even if the control signal F1 from the heating cooker 8 does not reach the exhaust device 9 due to some trouble, the integrated management device 10 changes the operation mode of the exhaust device 9 and sets the "medium operation" mode. It can be operated and can be expected to improve the reliability of the exhaust system including the exhaust device 9.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, when the control signal F2 is transmitted, the cooking cooker 8 requests the integrated management device 10 to change the operation mode of the exhaust device 9 to a larger air volume side. A special driving information signal (F2A) may be transmitted. This signal allows the integrated management device 10 to set the operation of the exhaust device 9 to the "strong operation" mode even if the control signal F2 from the heating cooker 8 does not reach the exhaust device 9 due to some trouble. It can be expected to improve the reliability of the exhaust system including the exhaust device 9.

L7 indicates information that the drive of the inverter circuit 120L is actually stopped and the heating operation is completed. L8 is information indicating that the main power switch 95 has been opened (OFF). Each of these information L1 to L8 includes the current time in seconds.

As is clear from FIG. 21, in the entire process from the power-on to the power-off of the cooking cooker 8, during the operation information signals L1 to L4 and in the time zone excluding the "priority cooking menu execution time zone", It is possible to support the power reduction operation in accordance with the power reduction request from the power command device 10. Between the signals L1 to L4, the cooking menu is not finalized, and there is a possibility that "fried food" cooking is selected immediately after this, so it is designated as a preliminary period without reducing power consumption. However, since the heating operation is not substantially started during the period of L1 to L4 and the power consumption is small, the period of L1 to L4 may be set as the power reduction target period, but the power reduction effect is almost the same. I can't expect it.

Therefore, for example, in the "boiler" process which is not defined in the "execution time zone of the priority cooking menu" as described above, the electric power can be reduced at any time in response to the electric power reduction request. In other words, in the process of executing "boiler" as a cooking menu, the power command device 10 can reduce the power consumption of the cooking device 8 (it can also be stopped) at any time even if the heating operation is started. ).

FIG. 22 is a timetable showing a state in which the “execution time zone of the priority cooking menu” is being executed when the (automatic) “fried food” is selected as the cooking menu. In FIG. 22, T2 is a preheating temperature set by the user, for example, 180 ° C. T1 is a temperature that determines the start of operation in the "medium operation" mode of the exhaust device 9, for example, 100 ° C. T0 is a temperature that determines the start of operation in the "weak operation" mode of the exhaust device 9, for example, 80 ° C.

When the inverter circuit 120L detects the preheating temperature T2, the heating power is automatically adjusted by the control device 143, and the inverter circuit 120L operates so as to maintain the preheating temperature.

The temperature detection circuit (temperature detection device) 144 indicates that the temperature of the object to be heated (metal pot) has reached a lower temperature (T1) before detecting the preheating temperature (T2) set by the user. , Control device 143 can detect.

Then, at the stage of the temperature T0 (for example, 80 ° C.) lower than the predetermined temperature T1, the command signal (control signal) F1 is transmitted from the cooking cooker 8 and the exhaust operation is changed from the "medium operation" mode to the "strong operation" mode. Change to.

That is, as shown in FIG. 21, the control device 143 maximizes the operation of the exhaust device 9 before the operation information signal L6 indicating that the preheating temperature has been detected is transmitted (the stage of step SA5 shown in FIG. 21). It is possible to issue a command signal F2 that starts in the "strong operation" mode of the ability of.

Then, the "priority cooking menu execution time zone" is started from the time of the operation information signal L6. Therefore, power is not reduced by external operations or commands during this execution time. If the heat is suddenly reduced during this "priority cooking menu execution time", the preheating temperature cannot be maintained and the user thinks that the temperature is at the desired temperature and cooks (for example, oil frozen croquette). If the temperature of the tempura pan is, for example, 140 ° C, it may lead to a situation where the temperature is too low to cook.

Since only the clean air that has cooled the substrate 117 or the like is exhausted, steam, oil smoke, or the like generated from the metal pot or the like placed on the top plate 55 and heated rises by itself and is introduced into the exhaust device 9. At the same time, a horizontally long band-shaped air wall can be formed behind the main body 8A.
Therefore, even if one or both of the two IH coils arranged side by side in the left-right direction are used at the same time for cooking, the exhaust flow is discharged from the exhaust port 77 behind the IH coils. Will be done.

(8) Part 8.
The cooking cooker 8 of the first embodiment detects a state in which the cover 71 is open in the control device 143, and prohibits the start of operation of the inverter circuits 120L and 120R in the state where the cover is open. Since the safety device SD (132) is provided, the start of operation of the inverter circuits 120L and 120R is automatically prohibited when the cover 71 is open, and the safety can be enhanced.

(9) Part 9
The cooker 1 of the first embodiment further includes a wireless communication means 150.
The tail operation unit 93 is provided with a command switch 98 for instructing the acquisition of cooking reference information via the wireless communication means 150 when the first cooking utensil 62 is used. Reference information can be obtained from the outside by wireless communication, and the convenience when using the first cooking utensil 62 can be enhanced.

In the first embodiment, the "medium operation" mode is called the first operation mode, and the "strong operation" mode is called the "second operation" mode, but the "weak operation" mode and the "medium operation" mode are 1 In turn, this may be referred to as the "first operation" mode. That is, the exhaust capacity of the exhaust device 9 is not limited to being set to two stages, and may be a variable capacity type having three stages or four or more stages.

Embodiment 2.
23 to 29 show the cooking utensil 8 according to the second embodiment. The feature of this embodiment is that the storage chamber 70 of the cooking device 8 is positively cooled. In addition, the operation program of the control device 143 has been partially changed so that it can be linked with the exhaust device 9 more quickly. Further, the first cooking utensil 62 is also characterized in that it is improved so as to transmit a temperature signal. The same or corresponding parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 22 are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description is omitted.

FIG. 23 is a plan view when viewed at the same position as in FIG. 8, and is shown in a state where the top plate 55 and the outer frame 54 are removed. As shown in FIG. 23, the cooking device 8 of the second embodiment is characterized in that the cooling unit CU and the storage chamber 70 are connected by a hollow tubular branch duct 160.

The width dimension W1 of the exhaust port 77 is a length equivalent to about 80% of the width dimension WE of the top plate 55. Further, the maximum width dimension of the main body case 53 is slightly narrower than the width dimension of the top plate 55. The width dimension W1 of the exhaust port 77 is preferably long, and is preferably at least 80% or more of the width dimension of the main body 8A or the width dimension WE of the top plate 55. For example, the width dimension W1 of the exhaust port 77 is 500 mm.

The first blower BM1 forms a large number of intake ports 58 at the rear portion of the bottom wall 53B of the main body case 53 and the rear portion of the body portion 53U. As shown in FIG. 23, the suction port side of the first blower BM1 is located directly above the intake port 58 formed at the rear portion of the bottom wall 53B.

The internal space of the main body case 53 is divided into two upper and lower parts by a horizontal partition plate 100. In FIG. 23, a part of the horizontal partition plate 100 and the cooling air duct 164 described later is broken and shown, and 165 shows the breaking line.

FIG. 24 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the YY line of FIG. 23. As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, one end (upstream side) of the branch duct 160 is connected to the left side surface of the outer case 107 constituting the cooling unit CU, and the other end (downstream side) is a storage chamber. It is connected to the upper part of the right side wall 70R of 70. As a result, a part of the cooling air supplied from the first blower BM1 to the inside of the cooling unit CU branches to the left side and flows into the branch duct 160 at the stage immediately before reaching the inverter circuit board 117.

The cooling air that has flowed into the branch duct 160 is introduced into the storage chamber 70 from the air outlet at the end of the branch duct 160 as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. 24. Further, the cooling air is guided into the guide duct 162 from the exhaust duct 161 provided so as to penetrate the top wall 70T of the storage chamber 70 after passing through the storage chamber 70. The guide duct 162 is provided long in the front-rear direction in the upper space 113 above the horizontal partition plate 100.

The end of the guide duct 162 extends to the back of the vertically extending rear partition plate 103A, as shown in the vertical cross section in FIG. 25, and the opening 162A at the end of the guide duct 162 has an exhaust port 77. It communicates with the space (exhaust air passage 104). The rear partition plate 103B is connected to the upper end portion of the rear partition plate 103A, extends horizontally, and forms an exhaust port 77 that is long in the left-right direction.

As shown in FIG. 25, the opening 162A of the guide duct 162 avoids the position directly below the exhaust port 77 and is slightly ahead of the position. This is to prevent such liquid from entering the opening 162A in the unlikely event that water, a liquid to be cooked, or the like flows in from the exhaust port 77.

In FIG. 25, 163 is a communication port formed on the side surface of the water receiving portion 130, and is located at a position facing the ventilation window 129 formed on the rear partition plate 103A.
The water receiving portion 130 is located directly below the exhaust port 77, is long in the left-right direction, and has a gutter-shaped vertical cross section.

With the above configuration, the cooling air that cools the left and right IH coils 60L and 60R toward the exhaust port 77 changes to an air flow that rises at the water receiving portion 130 via the ventilation window 129 and the communication port 163. However, the air from the inside of the storage chamber 70 is attracted from the opening 162A by the rising exhaust flow as shown by the arrow 171 and is discharged together with the outside of the main body 8A.

Returning to FIG. 24, reference numeral 164 is a plastic cooling air duct. This is installed on the upper surface of the horizontal partition plate 100, and as shown by the broken line, the cooling unit is passed through the communication port 166 provided on the front ceiling surface of the cooling unit CU and the opening 101 provided in the horizontal partition plate 100. Cooling air is introduced from the CU side. Then, the cooling air is guided to the lower part of the two IH coils 60L and 60R.
The two IH coils 60L and 60R, to which high-frequency power is applied by the inverter circuits 120L and 120R and become hot, are cooled by the cooling air blown from a large number of through holes (spout holes) 164A on the ceiling surface of the cooling air duct 164. Is done.

In FIG. 24, SP1 is a gap formed between the lower surface of the left IH coil and the upper surface of the horizontal partition plate 100, and is set to at least 4 cm or more. SP2 is a gap formed between the lower surface of the horizontal partition plate 100 made of metal or plastic and the ceiling wall 70T of the storage chamber 70, and is set to at least 1 cm or more. Therefore, even if the thickness of the horizontal partition plate 100 is excluded, the position of the ceiling wall 70T of the storage chamber 70 is at least 5 cm or more in a straight line distance in order to reduce the magnetic influence from the left IH coil 60L. It means that it is set to be in a distant position.

Since the first cooking utensil 62 has been modified to transmit a temperature signal, this will be described with reference to FIG.
It has already been proposed to provide a temperature detecting means and an IC tag for wirelessly transmitting the measured temperature of the temperature detecting means in a cooking container such as a metal pot.
As a typical example, Japanese Patent No. 4089545 includes a metal container for storing food and an induction heating cooker for heating the container, and a temperature detecting element is attached to the main body of the container. , The induction heating cooker provided with an IC tag on the handle portion of the container, and the induction heating cooker provided with a communication means for communicating with the IC tag and a high frequency current generating means for receiving a signal of the communication means is disclosed. Has been done.

Further, Japanese Patent No. 4848741 discloses an induction heating cooker that communicates with an IC tag attached to a metal pot (container). Specifically, a temperature detecting means is built in the bottom surface of the container placed on the top plate, and when the temperature of the temperature detecting means rises, the IC tag changes the resistance value of the temperature detecting means. It is configured to transmit to a reader on the main body side of the cooking cooker via an antenna, and the reader sends the signal to the control means for induction heating. The control means compares the measured temperature transmitted from the reader with the set temperature (for example, 180 ° C.), controls the high frequency output of the high frequency current generating means (inverter circuit), and keeps the temperature of the container at 180 ° C. It is a thing.

The first cooking utensil 62 in the second embodiment also has a function of transmitting a temperature signal.
In FIG. 26, the dish portion 63 of the first cooking utensil 62 is made of a magnetic metal casting or is formed by press molding iron or the like. Alternatively, strips of magnetic metal are regularly arranged and attached to the bottom surface of a container made of non-magnetic metal, for example, aluminum.
A temperature detection element 167 is attached to the side surface of the dish portion 63 of the first cooking utensil 62 in close contact with, for example, a heat-resistant adhesive (for example, silicon resin).

An IC tag 168 that receives a temperature detection signal from the temperature detection element 167 is attached to the handle 66.
On the other hand, an antenna 169 that receives a radio signal from the IC tag 168 is installed at a predetermined position on the lower surface of the top plate 55. Reference numeral 170 denotes a reader for reading the information received by the antenna, which is installed behind the operation unit 93.

The temperature detection circuit 144 is arranged under a contact-type temperature sensor (not shown) such as a thermistor that contacts the top plate 55 to adjust and detect the temperature, and passes through the top plate 55. An infrared temperature sensor (not shown) that detects the temperature of the object to be heated (including the first cookware 62 and the second cookware 90) placed on the top plate 55 from the amount of infrared rays that reach it, and the main body. The temperature measurement data of several temperature sensors such as the contact type temperature sensor (not shown) that detects the temperature of the internal space of the case 53 and the temperature of the inverter circuit board 117 is acquired.
Then, the temperature measurement data sent from the temperature detection element 167 via the IC tag 168 is also input to the temperature detection circuit 144.

Next, the flowchart of FIG. 27 will be described. This figure shows the operation steps of the control device 143 as in FIG. 20.
As shown in FIG. 27, after step SB1 in which oil cooking is started, the control device 143 transmits a command signal F1 for starting operation to the exhaust device 9 from the infrared light emitting element 154 (SB2). At the start of this operation, the exhaust device 9 is operated in the "normal operation" mode, which means the "medium" stage air volume, among the three stages (large, medium, and small) of the exhaust air volume. The command signal (control signal) F1 may be sent 30 seconds after the start of the heating operation as in the first embodiment, but may be performed at the same time as the start of the heating operation. In the former case, the operating time of the exhaust device 9 is shortened, so that the total power consumption can be suppressed to a small level.

Further, the operation information signal L4A is transmitted to the integrated management device 10. Then, in the next step SB3, it is determined whether or not the condition of the predetermined "strong driving" mode is satisfied. Here, when the condition of "strong operation" is satisfied, the command signal for starting the "strong operation" mode is sent to the exhaust device 9 without inquiring whether or not the air purifier 7 is operated to the integrated management device 10. Is transmitted from the infrared transmitting element 154. Further, a driving information signal L4B indicating that the integrated management device 10 has been switched to the "strong driving" mode is transmitted. The conditions for switching to the "strong operation" mode will be described in detail later.

After that, the same operation as step SA6 in FIG. 20 is performed, and the same step operation as steps SA7, SA11, and SA12 in FIG. 20 is performed. Then, when the air in the living space 3 is dirty, the integrated management device 10 is requested to operate the air purifier 7 as described in step SA13.

In the second embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 20 of the first embodiment, the environmental information and the operation information of the air purifier 7 are read from the storage device 143R, and the processing of whether or not the air purifier 7 is operated is performed. Since step SA2 performed by the control device 143 is omitted, the exhaust capacity of the exhaust device 9 can be quickly increased to cope with the exhaust of oil smoke and the like when the predetermined "strong operation" condition is satisfied. There are advantages.

Since the operation information signal L4B is transmitted to the integrated management device 10, the integrated management device 10 performs the following operations.
First, the integrated management device 10 always obtains the latest information on the start of oil cooking operation of the heating cooker 8 and the operation status of the air purifier 7 directly from the heating cooker 8 and the air purifier 7, respectively. When the air purifier 7 is in operation, the air purifier 7 is instructed to immediately stop the operation. Then, when it is found from the measurement result of the integrated environment detection unit 16 that the air in the living space 3 is dirty when the operation of the exhaust device 9 is stopped, the operation of the air purifier 7 is restarted. Therefore, an operation start command signal is sent to the air purifier 7.

With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the filter 33 of the air purifier 7 from sucking oil smoke generated in the oil cooking of the cooking cooker 8 and causing problems such as clogging. Note that step SB7 in FIG. 27 is a step when it is determined in step SA1 of determining whether or not oil cooking has started that oil cooking has not started. In this case, the exhaust device 9 is referred to as “ A command signal for starting "normal" operation is transmitted from the infrared light emitting element 154. Further, the operation information signal L4A is transmitted to the integrated management device 10.

FIG. 28 describes the condition of “strong operation” shown in step SB3 of the flowchart of FIG. 27.
In FIG. 28, the conditions that satisfy the start condition of the strong operation are described, but the first condition does not take precedence over the second condition or less, and each condition described in this table has no superiority or inferiority. When it is determined by the control device 143 of the cooking device 8 that any one of the conditions is satisfied, step SB3 becomes "Yes", and a command signal requesting "strong operation" is transmitted to the exhaust device 9. ..

The integrated management device 10 does not necessarily have a control function for starting or stopping energization of the air purifier 7 or the exhaust device 9 or changing the operating conditions. Therefore, even if the integrated management device 10 senses that the operation mode of the exhaust device 9 has changed from, for example, "weak operation" to "medium operation" or "strong operation", the exhaust device 9 is directly controlled based on the sense. It may not be possible. Even in such a case, in the second embodiment, the operating conditions of the exhaust device 9 can be changed via the cooking cooker 8, for example, the mode is changed from "medium operation" to "strong operation", and the air quality of the living space is changed. , Can maintain comfort.

The various conditions shown in FIG. 28 will be described below.
(1) First condition: A case where both the continuous elapsed time from the start of energization of the IH coil and the thermal power (500 W) are satisfied. For example, it is a case where the IH coil continues for 3 minutes or more continuously at a thermal power of 500 W or more.
(2) Second condition: The degree of temperature rise from the start of energization of the IH coil. The temperature referred to here means the temperature of at least one of the cooking oil, the object to be heated, and the top plate 55 when "oil cooking", which is one of the cooking menus, is performed. The magnitude of the temperature rise may be, for example, 70 degrees (except for cooking oil). Therefore, in the case where the temperature of the top plate 55 is 25 ° C. and cooking is started, the condition is satisfied when the temperature rises to 95 ° C. In the case of cooking oil, for example, the temperature is set to 50 degrees in consideration of safety in order to avoid ignition due to overheating.
(3) Third condition: The case where the IH coil is energized with a thermal power of 2 kW. It is assumed that when a small amount of oil is put into a frying pan or the like, the heating power is set to 2 kW or more and cooking is started, the frying pan or the like is heated rapidly and oil smoke is generated.
(4) Fourth condition: When the temperature of a generally commercially available object to be heated such as various pots, the first cooking utensil 62, and the first cooking utensil 90 exceeds 90 ° C. due to the start of energization of the IH coil. The temperature may be any as long as it is the detection temperature of the temperature detection circuit 144 as described above. For example, in the first cooking utensil 62, the detection temperature of the temperature detection element 167 attached to the first cooking utensil 62 may be used.
(5) Fifth condition: Similar to the fourth condition, but when the temperature detection circuit 144 detects that the temperature of the first cooking utensil 62 is 90 ° C. or higher.
(6) Sixth condition: When the temperature detection circuit 144 detects that the temperature of the top plate 55 is 90 ° C. or higher.
(7) Seventh condition: A case where a special command signal is received from the integrated management device (power command device) 10. The integrated management device (power command device) 10 has an integrated environment detection unit 16 and constantly monitors changes in air quality in the living space 3, so that exhaust from the living space 3 is required. When there is a change (deterioration) in air quality that exceeds the above, an operation start command signal or a command signal for changing operating conditions (for example, increasing the exhaust capacity) is sent to the air purifier 7 and the exhaust device 9 for improving the air quality. May be issued. In the integrated management device (electric power command device) 10 of the second embodiment, assuming that the command signal to the exhaust device 9 is not successful due to an abnormality in the communication state or the like, the command signal is passed through the transmitter 155 of the cooking cooker 8. It is configured to enable indirect control with an infrared signal, and is configured to be able to reliably control the exhaust device 9.

FIG. 29 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the storage chamber portion of the cooking cooker shown in FIG. 23.
In the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the pair of left and right support plates 122L and 122R are longer in the front-rear direction (depth of the storage chamber 70) below the right wall surface 70R and the left wall surface 70L of the storage chamber 70. It is installed (according to the dimensions).

The support plates 122L and 122R are fixed to the two left and right side walls 70R and 70L by screws 125.

Reference numeral 126 denotes a step portion formed at the uppermost end of the support plates 122L and 122R, which has a vertical cross-sectional shape bent at a right angle so as to spread in the lateral direction. The dish portion 63 of the first cooking utensil 62 is integrally formed with a lid receiving portion 63E on which the lid body 64 can be placed at the uppermost end portion thereof.

In the second embodiment, the position of the lid receiving portion 63E is higher than that of the first embodiment. That is, as shown in FIG. 29, it is formed at a position of a predetermined height HD from the bottom surface. This dimension HD is, for example, 50 mm to 60 mm. This dimension is set so that the linear distance from the IH coils 60L and 60R is at least 50 mm or more even when induction heating is performed. That is, since the lid receiving portion 63E and the handle 66 are separated from the bottom surface by a predetermined height HD, they are directly induced and heated by the IH coil to avoid high temperature.

Further, in the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the position of the lid receiving portion 63E is above the stepped portion 72E and is close to the left and right side walls 70L and 70R of the storage chamber 70. It is in.
Therefore, the effective inner diameters of the dish portion 63 and the lid portion 64 can be made larger than those in the first embodiment. Therefore, the first cooking utensil 62 having a large effective internal diameter can be used, and there is a secondary advantage that the amount that can be cooked at one time (grilled fish, dumplings, etc.) can be increased.

The lid receiving portion 63E maintains a gap GPX from the left side wall 70L of the storage chamber 70. This gap may be the minimum size as long as the cooking utensils 62, 90 and the like do not come into contact with the left side wall 70L and the right side wall 70R of the storage chamber 70 when the tray 72 is pulled out.

Since the step portion 72E extends above the support plates 122L and 122R as shown in FIG. 29, the support plates 122L and 122R are almost visible on both sides of the tray 72 even when the user pulls out the tray 72. Absent. That is, the support plates 122L and 122R, which are mechanical structures, are obscured and the design is improved. This point is the same as the effect of the first embodiment.

Summary of Embodiment 2.
As is clear from the above description, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be expected in the cooking cooker 8 of the second embodiment.
In the heating cooker 8 of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, a storage chamber 70 is secured inside the main body 8A, and articles such as accessories and cooking utensils are inserted and stored in the storage chamber 70. It can be taken out as needed, and the convenience during cooking can be improved. Moreover, since a command signal for controlling operation is transmitted to the exhaust device 9 that exhausts air from the indoor living space according to the cooking menu, oil smoke, hot air, etc. generated on the top plate 55 during cooking are exhausted. It can be expected that the exhaust flow from the mouth 77 guides the exhaust device 9 to the outside of the living space 3.

In the cooking cooker 8 of the second embodiment, a part of the cooling air supplied from the first blower BM1 to the inside of the cooling unit CU branches at a stage before reaching the inverter circuit board 117, and the branch duct 160 Inflow into. That is, since the cooling air before the temperature rises by taking the heat of the inverter circuit board 117 is directly supplied to the inside of the storage chamber 70 by the branch duct 160, the storage chamber 70 is directly supplied by the cooling air. It is cooled. Therefore, the effect of suppressing the temperature rise of the storage chamber 70 can be expected more effectively than that of the first embodiment.

It should be noted that, instead of the cooling air before cooling the inverter circuit board 117 as described in the second embodiment, a part of the cooling air after cooling is branched and introduced into the storage chamber 70. It may be discharged to the outside of the main body 8A. According to this, even if there is a scene where hot air stays in the internal space of the storage chamber 70, it can be eliminated.

Further, a part of the cooling air after cooling the inverter circuit board 117 may be branched, passed through the outside of the storage chamber 70, and discharged to the outside of the main body 8A. For example, if the cooling air is passed through the gap SP2 shown in FIG. 13, the storage chamber 70 can be cooled from the outside. Therefore, even if there is a situation where hot air stays in the internal space of the storage chamber 70, the temperature of the storage chamber 70 can be lowered to eliminate the situation.

Further, in the second embodiment, the following cooking cooker 8 is provided.
That is, the cooking utensil 8 is particularly described in FIGS. 27 and 28.
A heating source (IH coil 60L, 60L, IH coil 60L, 60R), a blower BM1 that introduces air, a control device 143 that controls energization of the heating source, and a transmitter 155 that transmits a control signal to an exhaust device 9 outside the main body 8A. Provide each
An exhaust port for discharging the air introduced by the blower is provided in the upper part of the main body.
The control device is at least one of the cumulative energization time, the temperature rise value of the object to be measured, the temperature rise width, the excess of the predetermined temperature, and the maximum thermal power value after the heating cooking process is started or the exhaust device is started. When one of the conditions is satisfied, the control signal F2 for switching to the operation for increasing the exhaust capacity of the exhaust device is transmitted from the transmission unit 155.

According to this, it is possible to improve the exhaust capacity of the exhaust device 9 assuming a situation where the heating process progresses and oil smoke or high-temperature steam is generated, so that the odor of cooking spreads in the living space 3 or It is possible to prevent oil smoke from staying.

Embodiment 3.
30 to 35 show the cooking cooker 8 according to the third embodiment.
The third embodiment is characterized in that the inside of the main body case 53 of the heating cooker 8 is divided into two spaces by a horizontal partition plate (first partition) 100 and a second partition 114. Further, the cooling air is discharged from the exhaust port 77 in the direction directly above. It is also a feature that the control device 143 of the heating cooker 8 is also changed to improve the timing of starting the operation of the exhaust device 9. The same or corresponding parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 22 are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description is omitted.

FIG. 30 is a perspective view showing the entire cooking device 8.
In this heating cooker 8, three IH coils 61L, 61M, and 61R are installed directly under the top plate 55 formed of heat-resistant glass. The vertical heights of all IH coils are the same.

In FIG. 30, the positions of the outer peripheral edges of the three IH coils 60L, 60M, and 60R are indicated by circles, but in reality, the IH coils 60L, 60M, and 60R cannot be visually recognized from above the top plate 55.
Reference numeral 60 is a right side IH coil, and 60L is a left side IH coil. The 60M is a central IH coil located at the rear of the main body case 53 at an intermediate position between these two IH coils.

The 91L, 91M, and 91R are display screens such as a liquid crystal display screen, respectively, and are arranged close to each other below the transparent window formed in a part of the top plate 55. The transparent window is formed by not printing only a part of the printing film provided so as to cover the lower surface of the top plate 55. The three display screens 91L, 91M, 91R display the input result of the operation unit 93, the cooking process, warning information, and the like.

Next, FIG. 31 will be described. FIG. 31 shows the heating cooker shown in FIG. 30 with the top plate removed.
The inside of the main body case 53 of the cooking cooker 8 is divided into two spaces by a horizontal partition plate (first partition wall) 100 and a second partition wall 114 (see FIG. 32), and is above the horizontal partition plate 100. The upper space 113 is formed in. Three IH coils 61L, 61M, and 61R are arranged in this upper space.

The ventilation window 129 that separates the upper space 113 from the exhaust port 77 is formed in the rear partition plate 103A (see FIG. 33).
The rear partition plate 103 is vertically attached to the rear portion of the metal horizontal partition plate 100.

In FIG. 31, six ventilation windows 129 are formed, but more may be formed. It is desirable to form the cooling air flowing through the upper space 113 from the front to the rear at equal intervals and with the same size (opening area and shape) so as to divide the cooling air as evenly as possible.

Reference numeral 175 is a closing plate provided so as to close the intermediate positions of the two exhaust ports 77.
This is a position directly behind the central IH coil 61M. By this closing plate 175, one opening is divided into two left and right, and becomes an exhaust port 77.
Reference numeral 176 is a standing wall formed horizontally long from the right side IH coil 61R at a position directly behind the right side IH coil 61R. It is installed at the top of the unit CU. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 34, the air passage 177 directly above the standing wall 176 is slightly narrowed.

The standing wall 177 also has a function as a bank that prevents a liquid such as water from dripping or entering from the exhaust port 77 from moving forward.

Next, FIG. 32 will be described. FIG. 32 is a vertical sectional view taken along line XX of the heating cooker shown in FIG. It has an outer case 107 that constitutes the outer shell of the cooling unit CU.
The outer case 107 is composed of two units, an upper lid portion 115 made of an electrically insulating material (plastic or the like) and a lower portion 116 made of an electrically insulating material (plastic or the like) to support the upper lid portion 115. It is configured.
Inside the outer case 107, the inverter circuit board 117 is horizontally installed.
The upper lid portion 115 and the lower side portion 116 are joined by screws to form a box-shaped cooling unit CU.

In FIG. 32, SP1 shows a (first) gap secured between the lower surface of the left IH coil 8L and the metal horizontal partition plate 100, and is set to at least 3 to 5 cm or more. SP2 is a (second) gap formed between the lower surface of the horizontal partition plate 100 and the upper wall surface 70T of the storage chamber 70, and is set to at least 1 to 2 cm.
The SP3 is a (third) gap formed between the right side wall 70R of the storage chamber 70 and the second partition wall 114, and has a size of about 3 cm to 5 cm.

Reference numeral 178 is a support plate having a flat area that covers the entire main body case 53, and has a frame shape. That is, a large window 178A is formed in the center, and the top plate 55 is placed from above so as to close the window.

Next, FIG. 33 will be described. FIG. 33 is a vertical sectional view taken along line YY of the cooking cooker shown in FIG. 31.
179 is a decorative frame made of aluminum or the like, and is a component corresponding to the outer frame 54 of the first embodiment. The decorative frame has a size that surrounds the periphery of the two exhaust ports 77, and is fixed to the support plate 178 so as not to move to the rear portion of the main body case 53.

Reference numeral 128 denotes a final exhaust port formed so as to penetrate the decorative frame vertically, and the final exhaust port is formed so as to match the position of the exhaust port 77.
The opening area (size) and shape of the final exhaust port 128 substantially matches the size and shape of the exhaust port 77.

In FIG. 34, reference numeral 173 is a top plate that supports the first blower BM1 in a connected state with respect to the cooling unit CU, and is made of an electrically insulating material (plastic or the like). The first blower BM1 is sandwiched between the lower portion 116 and the lower portion 116.
The standing wall 176 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the top plate.
Reference numeral 174 is a power supply board, which is connected to a commercial power supply. An electric component such as a noise removing filter is mounted on the power supply board so that a noise signal is not transmitted to the outside of the heating cooker 8 through the power cord.

Next, FIG. 35 is a timetable showing the operation of the entire process from the power-on to the power-off of the cooker 8 as a representative product of the home appliance EE.
In FIG. 35, operation information (execution of cooking menu, setting of thermal power, etc.) is transmitted to a power command device 10 also serving as an integrated management device at any time, and the total power amount of the house 1 is managed. This is because the user has registered the cooker 8 in advance as a target for limiting the amount of electricity used. Among the other electric device EEs, the electric device EE (for example, the air conditioner 7) that limits the amount of electric power used also basically transmits the operation information to the electric power command device 10 at any time in the same manner as the heating cooker 8. doing.

Further, in FIG. 35, L1 to L8 are operation information signals transmitted from the cooking cooker 8 to the power command device 10. L3 is an information signal indicating that the cooking menu has been selected, and indicates a case where "automatic fried food" is selected from various cooking menus such as boiling water, stewing, and fried food cooking.

L4 indicates an information signal in which the inverter circuit 120L is actually driven and the (induction) heating operation is started. L5 indicates an information signal at which the fried food process has started. Each of these operation information signals L1 to L8 includes information indicating the current time in seconds.

It is provided with the same temperature detection device as the temperature detection circuit 144 described in the first embodiment, and the temperature of the object to be heated (metal pot) is lower than that before detecting the preheating temperature (T2) set by the user. It can be detected that the temperature (T1) has been reached. Therefore, in the control device 143 that obtains the temperature detection information from the temperature detection device, the exhaust device is used before the operation information signal L5 indicating that the preheating temperature has been detected is transmitted (step SA5 shown in FIG. 35). The command signal F1 for starting the operation of 9 can be issued. However, in the third embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the exhaust device 9 is not required to start the operation by an infrared signal or the like, but the power command device 10 is once operated by the exhaust device 9. A signal is sent requesting. In this case, it is called "ventilation start recommendation" in FIG. 35.

When the power command device 10 receives the operation information signal L5 requesting the operation of the exhaust device 9 from the heating cooker 8, the power command device 10 starts the operation of the exhaust device 9 (however, the mode of "weak" operation in which the exhaust air volume is small). Command. When the exhaust device 9 receives this command signal F0, the operation circuit of the exhaust device 9 is activated (ON).

On the other hand, since the power command device 10 already knows that the cooking including oil is executed by the operation information signal L3 from the heating cooker 8, if the air purifier 7 is operated, the operation information signal L3 is used. A "pause command signal" is issued so that the operation is stopped after, for example, 10 seconds (FB in FIG. 35).

The power command device 10 further operates as follows.
(1) Notify that the air purifier 7 is to be stopped. For example, a voice guide device (not shown) automatically provides guidance such as "The operation of the air purifier will be stopped for a while."
(2) A message to the same effect is displayed in characters on the liquid crystal display screen 24 that also serves as an input unit of the power command device 10.
(3) If there is a TV receiver in the home appliance EE that can communicate information with the power command device 10, and the TV receiver is being viewed, a message to the same effect is displayed on a part of the display screen. Display in characters. This display command is given by the power command device 10.
(4) If you really want to keep the air purifier 7 running when displaying or notifying the above (1) to (3), press a specific key on the operation unit of the air purifier 7 or its remote controller. Notify you of pressing at the same time. For example, it is instructed to press the "#" key twice.
(5) If such a specific key is not pressed within a predetermined time (for example, 8 seconds) after the notification up to (4) above, the power command device 10 gives the air purifier 7 a "pause command". No signal is issued to cancel the "signal".

By the above operation, the air purifier 7 is automatically stopped (OFF) 10 seconds after the notification of the above (4) is performed, unless the user indicates the intention to continue the operation. Even if the air purifier 7 is turned off, the wireless communication unit 31 is in a standby state so that communication with the power command device 10 can be performed at any time. Further, the air purifier 7 reports to the power command device 10 by a predetermined operation information signal that the operation has been stopped as instructed.

When the air purifier 7 is temporarily stopped due to the above circumstances, the power command device 10 does not accept remote control of the air purifier 7 for the terminal device 43 whose unique number is registered in advance. The signal FC is transmitted. From this point to the time when the signal FH described later is transmitted, remote control (for example, start of operation) of the air purifier 7 from the terminal device 43 is not accepted at all. The terminal device 43 cannot be remotely controlled by directly transmitting an operation signal to the air purifier 7. This is because the air purifier 7 does not have a receiving unit that directly receives wireless communication from the outside of the house 1.
When a remote control signal is transmitted to the power command device 10, the air purifier 7 can be remotely controlled indirectly via the power command device 10.

When the operation information signal L3 transmitted from the cooking device 8 contains information indicating oil cooking, the power command device 10 receives the signal L3 and then starts the heating operation. The air purifier 7 is completely locked from the time when the operation information signal L4 indicating the above is received.
That is, if the control unit 22 of the power command device 10 is stopped at that time (when the signal L4 is received), the control unit 22 does not issue a command signal permitting the start of the operation thereafter. .. That is, even if a remote control signal for starting the operation of the air purifier 7 is received from the terminal device 43 before the time when the signal FC is transmitted, the operation of the air purifier 7 is started in response to the signal. There is no such thing.

In the third embodiment, when the air purifier 7 is temporarily stopped due to the start of operation of the heating cooker 8, the power command device 10 performs a process of not accepting the remote operation of the air purifier 7 from the terminal device 43. Even if a resident or the like outdoors specifies remote operation (for example, start of operation) of the air purifier 7 from the terminal device 43 without knowing such circumstances, the air purifier 7 actually operates as it is. Not done. Therefore, it is possible to prevent problems such as the air purifier 7 being inadvertently started to operate, oil smoke and the like accumulated during oil cooking, and the performance of the filter 33 being deteriorated.

When a little time has passed from the start of the heating operation, the temperature of the cooking utensil on the top plate 55, for example, the first cooking utensil 62, rises due to the IH coils 61L and 61R that have started to be used. Therefore, the control device 143 detects that the temperature of the object to be heated (metal pot) has become lower than that (T1) before detecting the preheating temperature (T2) set by the user, and "medium operation". Mode) is instructed.

It should be noted that the exhaust air volume was slightly increased with respect to the ventilation device 9 one minute after the time when the operation information signal L4 was received without switching to the "medium operation" when the temperature (T1) was reached. The mode of "medium operation" may be instructed. Alternatively, these two may be combined and the earlier one may be adopted to change to the "medium operation" mode.
When the exhaust device 9 receives the command signal F4 for changing the operation mode from the integrated management device 10, the exhaust device 9 is changed to the "medium operation" mode, and the exhaust air volume increases.

As the heating step further progresses, the control device 143 can detect that the temperature of the object to be heated (metal pot) has reached the preheating temperature (T2) set by the user. Then, the control device 143 can issue a command signal F5 to the exhaust device 9 to switch to the "strong operation" mode.

When the heating process proceeds and the control device 143 stops energizing the IH coil 61L in use, the heating cooker 8 transmits an operation information signal L7 to the power command device 10. After that, since the cooking device 8 still detects the temperature of the top plate 55, it monitors whether the temperature has dropped to less than 50 ° C, for example, and when it is detected that the temperature has dropped to less than 50 ° C, As shown in FIG. 35, the operation information signal L7A "recommended ventilation end" is transmitted.

Since the power command device 10 can know that the cooking has been completed by the operation information signal L7A from the cooking device 8, it issues a "stop designation signal" to the ventilation device 9 (FE in FIG. 35). ..

When the exhaust device 9 receives the signal FE, the exhaust device 9 stops the exhaust operation.
Further, when the operation of the exhaust device 9 is stopped due to the above circumstances, the power command device 10 transmits an information signal FG indicating that the operation of the air purifier 7 can be restarted.

After that, the power command device 10 notifies the specific terminal device 43 that has notified that the remote control cannot be accepted that the air purifier 7 can be remotely controlled (for example, start operation) (for example). FH in FIG. 35). If the air quality of the living space 3 is improved at the time of transmitting the information FG indicating that the operation can be resumed, the integrated environment detection unit 16 detects such an improvement in the air quality, so that the air is cleaned. Before restarting the machine 7, the control device 143 determines whether or not the air purifier 7 needs to be operated, and the operation of the air purifier 7 may not be started.

In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, a rear partition plate 103 is provided at the rear portion of the horizontal partition plate 100, and the cooling air flowing through the exhaust port 77 on the left side is laterally blown by a plurality of ventilation windows 129. After being dispersed, it reaches the exhaust port 77. Therefore, the exhaust flow can be discharged upward from the entire width of the exhaust port 77. As a result, hot air, oily smoke, etc. above the top plate 55 can be guided upward in a wide range.

Further, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, a standing wall 176 formed horizontally long from the right side IH coil 61R is provided at a position directly behind the right side IH coil 61R, and the cooling air after cooling the right side IH coil 61R is on the right side. The amount of the air reaching the exhaust port 77 is adjusted. That is, since the air passage 177 directly above the standing wall 176 is a little narrow, the cooling air supplied from the cooling unit CU to the periphery of the right side IH coil 61R is sent to the exhaust port 77 located near the rear side. It is adjusted so that the air volume flowing around the left IH coil 61L due to excessive flow is suppressed from decreasing, and the air volume and the wind speed finally discharged from the two exhaust ports 77 do not differ greatly.

(Summary of Embodiment 3)
Also in the third embodiment, basically the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.
Further, the air quality improvement system of the third embodiment is
The rear part of the main body 8A is in a state of cooling air that forcibly introduces the air of the living space 3 into the internal space of the main body 8A fixed at a predetermined position of the living space 3 and does not heat the food to be cooked such as food. The cooker 8 that discharges into the living space from the exhaust port 77 provided in
An exhaust device 9 above the cooking cooker 8 that discharges hot air generated on the cooking cooker 8 side to the outside of the space.
An air purifier 7 that purifies the air in the living space 3 where the cooker 8 is located, and
An integrated management device 10 that collects information on the operating state of the cooker 8 and the air purifier 7 and controls the operation of the cooker 8 and the air purifier 7, respectively.
An environment detection unit 16 that transmits the results of measuring air quality such as air pollution, odor, and temperature in the living space where the cooking device 8 is located to the integrated management device 10.
A terminal device 43 that is connected to the integrated management device 10 via a communication network 18 and gives an operation start command to the air purifier 7 via the integrated management device is provided.
The integrated management device 10 controls the operation of at least one of the air purifier 7 and the exhaust device 9 based on the information indicating the result of measuring the air quality from the environment detection unit 16.
Further, the integrated management device 10 is at least one of the operation start, operation stop, operation time, and exhaust capacity of the air purifier 7 and the exhaust device 9 based on the operation information transmitted from the heating cooker 8. Control and
The integrated management device 10 is stopped by giving an operation stop command to the air purifier 7 according to the operating state of the heating cooker 8 from the terminal device 43 to the air purifier 10. When an operation start command for 7 is received, it is prohibited to emit an operation start command signal corresponding to the command to the air purifier 7.

Therefore, according to the air quality improvement system of the third embodiment, when the integrated management device 10 temporarily stops the air purifier 7 with the start of the operation of the heating cooker 8, the air purifier from the terminal device 43 Since the process of not accepting the remote control of the air purifier 7 is performed, even if a resident or the like outdoors tries to remotely control the air purifier 7 without knowing such circumstances, such an operation is not performed. Therefore, the air purifier 7 is inadvertently started to operate, and it is possible to prevent a problem that the performance is deteriorated due to oil smoke or the like due to cooking.

Further, as shown in FIG. 35, the integrated management device 10 for the home electric appliance according to the third embodiment is
A heating cooker 8 installed at the installation port 15A of the kitchen furniture 15 and intensively discharging the air sucked from the inside of the kitchen furniture 15 as cooling air from the horizontally long exhaust port 77 formed in the upper part of the main body 8A, and its Operation of two home appliances, an exhaust device 9 that sucks steam, oil smoke, etc. generated from an object to be heated placed on the upper surface of the cooker 8 and the cooling air and discharges the cooling air to the outside of the living space 3. Equipped with a control unit 22 to be linked
The control unit 22 acquires an operation information signal from the cooking device 8 and transmits a cooking start permission signal to the cooking device 8.
Further, the operation information signal received by the control unit 22 from the cooking device 8 indicates that the first signal L5 recommending the start of operation of the exhaust device 9 and that the cooking process has proceeded to a predetermined stage. There are at least two of the second signals L6,
When the control unit 22 receives the first signal L5, the control unit 22 transmits a control signal F0 in the "first operation" mode for operating the blower 26F of the exhaust device 9 with the first exhaust capacity. When the second signal is received, the control signal F2 in the "second operation" mode for operating with an exhaust capacity larger than that of the first exhaust capacity is transmitted.

Therefore, according to the integrated management device 10 of the third embodiment, the exhaust device 9 is initially operated in the "first operation" mode such as the "weak operation" mode when the operation of the heating cooker 8 is started. When the operation is started and then the operation of the exhaust device 9 is switched to the "second operation" mode such as the "strong operation" mode and exhausted when the preheating temperature is reached at the stage of the preheating process. The amount can be increased. As a result, even if the amount of steam or oil smoke generated increases due to cooking, it can be expected that the exhaust device 9 collects them together with the exhaust flow from the exhaust port 77 and discharges them to the outside of the living space 3. There is.

Further, in the integrated management device 10 for home appliances according to the third embodiment, the control unit 22 has home appliances (for example, an air purifier 7) whose operation should be stopped when the heating cooker 8 is operated. In this case, the home electric appliance (air purifier 7) is provided with a configuration characterized in that an operation stop command signal FB is transmitted at a stage prior to the transmission of the control signal F2 in the "second operation" mode. Was there.

Therefore, since the air purifier 7 can be automatically stopped when the heating cooker 8 starts operation, the effect that the air purifier 7 sucks oil smoke and the like and the performance deteriorates can be prevented. It plays.

Embodiment 4.
36 to 41 show the cooking utensil 8 according to the fourth embodiment.
In the fourth embodiment, the exhaust air passage 104 near the exhaust port 77 is further improved. That is, one of the features is that the gutter-shaped water receiving portion 130 forming the terminal portion of the exhaust air passage 104 is formed as one unit. The same or corresponding parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 22 are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description is omitted.

FIG. 36 is a plan view showing the cooking device 8. In this example, the top plate 55 is a built-in induction heating cooker provided with only one heating port at the center of the left and right sides.

In FIG. 36, the IH coil 60 is arranged at a position straddling the left and right center lines CL1 of the top plate 55. Actually, since the IH coil 60 is below the top plate 55, it cannot be visually recognized as shown in FIG. 36. Since the IH coil 60 is also arranged so as to straddle the front-rear center line CL2, the substantially center position of the top plate 55, which is close to a square, and the center of the thin circular (doughnut-shaped) IH coil 60 match. ing. The maximum external dimension A of the IH coil 60 is, for example, 250 mm.

Reference numeral 70 denotes a storage chamber having a cover 71 (not shown) that can be opened and closed on the front side where the operation unit 93 is located, and is entirely made of a thin metal plate. The IH coil 60 is horizontally installed at a position separated from the ceiling wall 70T (not shown) of the storage chamber 70 by about 60 mm.

Reference numeral 180 denotes a short-range wireless communication unit (hereinafter, referred to as “NFC communication unit”) that constitutes a part of the operation unit 93. Here, communication can be performed by approaching or contacting a terminal device 43 such as a smartphone having a short-range wireless communication function.

The first blower BM1 is arranged in the space on the right side inside the main body case 53, and is formed from an intake port (not shown) formed in the lower side surface and the bottom surface portion 53B of the main body case 53 to form the kitchen furniture 15. The air in the living space 3 is sucked through the internal space.

The exhaust air passage 104 formed on the downstream side of the first blower BM1 penetrates the upper space 113 where the IH coil 60 is located without passing through the inside of the storage chamber 70 in the lower space 112, and finally. Leads to an exhaust port 77 formed in a horizontal straight line at the rear of the top plate 55.

The width dimension W1 of the exhaust port 77 is a length equivalent to about 80% of the width dimension WE of the top plate 55. Further, the width dimension W1 of the exhaust port 77 is more than twice as large as the external dimension A of the IH coil 60.

In FIG. 36, the arrow 111 indicates the flow of the cooling air discharged from the exhaust port 77, and the arrow indicated by the broken line indicates the cooling air flowing through the upper space 113. The arrow 111 shown by a solid line is drawn horizontally in FIG. 36, but is actually cooling air flowing in a substantially vertical direction from the exhaust port 77.

FIG. 37 shows a gutter-shaped water receiving portion 130 forming the terminal portion of the exhaust air passage 104, and the water receiving portion 130 is manufactured from a thin metal plate or plastic.
In the fourth embodiment, a thin plate of stainless steel or aluminum is press-molded so as not to be corroded or rusted by water or the like, and the bottom surface is a curved surface.

In FIG. 37, the width dimension W5L of the water receiving portion 130 is formed to be half of the width dimension W1 of the exhaust port 77 shown in FIG. That is, directly below the exhaust port 77, two water receiving portions 130 are arranged side by side in series. As described above, since the width dimension W1 of the exhaust port 77 is 500 mm, the width dimension W5L of the water receiving portion 130 is slightly shorter than 250 mm.

In FIG. 37, the width dimension B in the front-rear direction of the water receiving portion 130 is formed to be slightly narrower than the width dimension WB in the front-rear direction of the exhaust port 77 as shown in FIG. 38.
Reference numeral 163 is a large number of communication ports provided on the front wall of the water receiving portion 130.

On the front side of the communication port 130, there is a rear partition plate 103 provided so as to partition the entire upper space 113 back and forth. Unlike the second embodiment shown in FIG. 25, the rear partition plate 103A is not provided with a large number of ventilation windows 129 corresponding to the individual communication ports 163, and a large ventilation window 129 long in the lateral width direction is provided. One or two are provided.

In FIG. 37, 181 is a partition wall provided inside the water receiving portion 130 so as to partition the inside into a plurality of spaces. In FIG. 37, two partition walls 181 are provided so as to partition the three portions. Due to the presence of this partition, the cooling air that has entered the internal space of the water receiving portion 130 from the ventilation window 129 does not concentrate on the right corner or the left corner of the exhaust port 77, and the cooling air is released from the entire exhaust port 77. It will blow out. The height of the partition wall 181 may extend from the lowest bottom surface of the water receiving portion 130 toward the exhaust port 77, and it is not necessary to bring the partition wall 181 close to the extent that the upper end surface of the partition wall 181 comes into contact with the exhaust port 77.

In FIG. 38, reference numeral 78 denotes an exhaust cover made of plastic, metal, or the like, and as shown in FIG. 38, a continuous passage 182 serving as an end portion of the exhaust air passage 104 is on the back surface. It is formed in the direction.
As shown in FIG. 38, the connecting passage 182 is open to the back surface 78B side, and the back surface is an inclined surface that descends as it goes backward, so that the kitchen furniture 15 is cooked by standing on the front side. The exit of the communication passage 182, that is, the final exhaust port 128 cannot be seen by the user. Therefore, the design is not impaired.

In FIG. 38, several to 10 or more of the communication passages 182 are provided in the lateral width direction of the exhaust port 77 in the shape of independent through holes. If the opening area of the communication passage 182 is increased, foreign matter and the like will enter. Therefore, the final exhaust ports 128 having a constant opening area are arranged so as to be regularly arranged.

(Basic operation of integrated management device)
Next, the basic operation of the integrated management device (power command device) 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 39.
As shown in FIG. 39, the heating cooker 8 and the air conditioner 5 are registered in advance in the power command device 10 as "electric power control target devices" whose power consumption is limited by the power command device 10. Has been done.
The priority of securing electric power is higher in the cooker 8 than in the air conditioner 5. Therefore, if the cooker 8 is started to be used during the operation of the air conditioner 7, a command signal may be output to reduce the electric energy of the air conditioner 7.

As shown in FIG. 39, the air purifier 7 and the exhaust device 9 will be described below on the premise that they are not registered as “electric power control target devices”.
The case where the cooking device 8 is started to be used in the situation where one air conditioner 5 is started in operation will be described.

When one air conditioner 5 is started to operate, an operation information signal is transmitted from the air conditioner to the power command device 10. After that, when the cooker 8 is to be used, when the main power switch 95 is closed, the process proceeds to the selection step of the cooking menu as described in the first embodiment. If "automatic fried food" is selected from the cooking menus such as "boiler", "automatic fried food", and "simmered food" on the operation unit 93, the operation information signal indicating that "automatic fried food" is selected is the power command device. It is transmitted to 10. At that time, the cooking device 8 also transmits information indicating that the maximum power consumption used is 2000 W.

The electric power command device 10 performs a determination process of whether or not to allow electric power (maximum 2000 W) for cooking "automatic fried food". In this step ST1, information on the power consumption of the air conditioner 5 and "other home appliances" (for example, indoor lighting fixture 6 and refrigerator) that are not registered in the "electric power control target device" is also obtained. That is, since power information is always obtained from the power sensor (not shown) inserted in the power supply circuit of each of these "other home appliances", the power consumption of these "other home appliances" is also taken into consideration. Determine if the upper limit allowed by the breaker BK is not exceeded. This determination is performed by a power excess amount determination circuit (also referred to as a “comparator”, not shown) inside the power command device 10.

Then, when the upper limit value is exceeded, the power reduction width is determined by the power consumption reduction width determining means (not shown) (ST2).

Next, in the control device 143 of the electric power command device 10, the "environmental data" of the temperature, humidity, and air cleanliness (dust amount, etc.) of the living space 3 where the heating cooker 8 is located is externally obtained through the integrated environment detection unit 16. Obtained from the composite sensor 13 and the temperature sensor 14 of the above.

In the next step ST3, the air quality of the living space 3 is determined using the environmental data acquired through the integrated environment detection unit 16. For example, it is judged that the air in the living space is clean with few harmful substances and dust, and that the temperature and humidity are not harsh conditions that are harmful to the health of the resident by comparing with the predetermined standard values. To do.

Further, as described in the first embodiment, the latest operating status of "air quality improving devices" such as the air conditioner 5, the air purifier 7, and the exhaust device 9 can be grasped by the operation information signals from each of the devices. To do. Then, the air purifier 7 in operation has a condition of "avoid simultaneous operation" with the air purifier 7 in both "automatic fried food" and "manual fried food" in the cooking menu of the cooking cooker 8. Is included in the control program of the control unit 22 of the power command device 10 in advance, so in step ST3, a determination result is obtained that the air purifier 7 is temporarily stopped at an appropriate timing. Further, the power reduction width determined in ST2 is transmitted to the air conditioner 5 as a command signal (power reduction command signal).

In response to this power reduction command signal, the air conditioner 5 reduces the power consumption (ST4). When the power reduction width is 300 W, the air conditioner 5 changes the cooling target temperature from 26 ° C to 28 ° C, so that the air conditioner 5 consumes the most electric power. The rotation speed of the machine (not shown) will be reduced, and the operation will be changed to energy-saving operation with less power consumption. From the correlation between the target temperature and the current room temperature, the amount of power used when the rotation speed of the electric compressor is reduced is obtained in advance by experiments, etc., and the data is stored in the air conditioner 5 side. Therefore, the operating conditions of the electric compressor (not shown) for the power reduction operation are instantly determined according to the power reduction request from the power command device 10.

After that, the air conditioner 5 notifies the power command device 10 that the power consumption has been reduced by 300 W as an operation information signal. After that, the electric power command device 10 transmits to the cooking cooker 8 a signal (a heating cooking start permission signal) permitting the cooker 8 to start cooking the requested "automatic fried food".

Then, the cooking cooker 8 drives a predetermined inverter circuit and starts the heating operation. This starts the preheating step (see FIG. 22).
It is possible to instruct the exhaust device 9 to start operation at the same time as the start of operation of the cooking device 8, but since it is not normal for oil smoke and steam to be generated at the same time as the start of cooking, the consumption of electricity is suppressed. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, the timing of the operation start command of the exhaust device 9 is delayed by a certain time from the start of the operation of the cooking cooker 8. For example, one minute after the cooking start permission signal is transmitted, the exhaust operation start command signal is transmitted to the exhaust device 9.

In the first stage, the exhaust device 9 is operated in "weak operation" mode. After that, when the temperature detection circuit 144 of the heating cooker 8 detects a predetermined temperature TX (for example, 80 ° C.) at which the exhaust operation is started, the heating cooker 8 issues a "first exhaust operation recommended signal" to the power command device 10. Send to. In the fourth embodiment, since the electric power command device 10 has already transmitted the start command signal for the exhaust operation one minute after the transmission of the heating cooking start permission signal at this point, the heating cooker 8 Although the "recommended signal for exhaust operation" is not required, depending on the type of power command device 10, it is assumed that the start command signal for exhaust operation as described above may not be automatically transmitted, and such safety measures are taken. ing.

Next, the electric power command device 10 transmits a pause command signal to the air purifier 7 30 seconds after transmitting the cooking start permission signal. Then, the air purifier 7 temporarily stops the operation.

After that, when the temperature detection circuit 144 of the heating cooker 8 detects a predetermined temperature TY (for example, 100 ° C.) for switching the exhaust operation to the "medium operation" mode, the heating cooker 8 receives a "second exhaust operation recommended signal". Is transmitted to the power command device 10.
Further, in the fourth embodiment, for example, one minute after the cooking start permission signal is transmitted, the cooking cooker 8 transmits the exhaust operation start command signal to the exhaust device 9. If the predetermined temperature TY is detected before the lapse of 1 minute, the "second exhaust operation recommended signal" is transmitted to the power command device 10 at that time.

In the fourth embodiment, regardless of the transmission of the "second exhaust operation recommended signal" from the heating cooker 8, the power command device 10 itself also transmits the heating cooking start permission signal 90 seconds later. , Sends a command signal to the exhaust device 9 to switch the exhaust operation to the "medium operation" mode.
If the signal transmission function on the heating cooker 8 side fails, or the communication status between the heating cooker 8 side and the power command device 10 fails, the "second exhaust operation recommended signal" is powered. Even when the command device 10 cannot be received, the exhaust device 9 is automatically switched from the "weak operation" mode to the "medium operation" mode, and the exhaust capacity can be enhanced before a large amount of oil smoke, steam, or the like is generated.

With the above configuration, the cooling air that cools the left and right IH coils 60L and 60R toward the exhaust port 77 passes through the ventilation window 129 and the communication port 163 at the water receiving portion 130, and its curved bottom surface. It changes to an rising air flow.

Further, the cooking cooker 8 of the fourth embodiment has a main body case 53 supported at a predetermined position of the kitchen furniture 15, and inside the main body case 53, a heated object (heated object) placed above the main body case ( It is provided with an IH coil 60 for heating (the first cooking utensil 62 and the like) and an exhaust air passage 104 for which cooling air from the first blower BM1 is supplied to forcibly cool the upper space 113 of the main body case. An exhaust port 77, which is a terminal portion of the exhaust air passage 104, is provided at the rear portion of the main body case 53, and the exhaust port 77 continuously extends over a predetermined length W1 in the lateral width direction of the main body case 53. The configuration is characterized in that it is open and the width dimension W1 of the exhaust port is formed larger than the maximum outer diameter dimension A of the IH coil (heating portion) 60.

According to the heating cooker 8, an exhaust flow wall is formed behind the steam, oil smoke, etc. generated from an object to be heated such as a cooking utensil placed above the IH coil 60 which is a heating unit. It can be expected to effectively prevent contamination of the wall around the cooking cooker 8.

Further, if the storage room 70 is provided, it is possible to store articles, seasonings, etc. used during cooking, and it is expected that the convenience of the user will be improved.

Further, the heating cooker 8 has a main body case 53 supported at a predetermined position of the kitchen furniture 15, and an object to be heated placed above the main body case 53 is placed inside the main body case (upper space 113). An IH coil 60 for heating and an exhaust air passage 104 for which cooling air from the first blower BM1 is supplied to forcibly cool the internal space of the main body case 53 are provided.
The IH coil 60 is arranged on the center line CL1 that divides the main body case into left and right, and further arranges on the center line CL2 that divides the main body case 53 into front and rear.
An exhaust port 77, which is an end portion of the exhaust air passage 104, is provided at the rear portion of the main body case 53, and the exhaust port 77 is continuous in the lateral width direction of the main body case 53 and divides the main body case into left and right. The exhaust port 77 is formed to have a wider width dimension W1 than the maximum outer diameter dimension A of the IH coil 60, which is symmetrically opened over a predetermined length W1 on both sides of the center line CL. ing.

According to the cooking cooker 8, an exhaust flow is generated behind the steam, oil smoke, etc. generated from an object to be heated such as a cooking utensil placed in the center of a top plate 55 covering the upper part of the main body case 53. It can be expected that a wide wall can be formed and the wall around the cooking device 8 can be effectively prevented from being contaminated.

Moreover, since the exhaust ports 77 are arranged at equal lengths in the left-right direction with the central portion of the main body case 53 as a boundary, the exhaust flow can be supplied without being biased to one side behind the cooking cooker 8. It can be expected that the exhaust of steam, oil smoke, etc. generated from the heated material is stably performed without being affected by the position of cooking.

(Configuration of terminal equipment)
Next, the configuration of the terminal device 43 will be described with reference to FIG. 40.
The terminal device 43 is a high-performance mobile phone called a smartphone, a portable tablet-type personal computer, or the like.
The terminal device 43 includes a display unit 183 having a liquid crystal display screen, an operation input unit (operation unit) 184 having a plurality of input keys operated by the user, a wireless interface unit (communication unit) 185, and an attitude detection unit 186. And a control unit 187 with a built-in microcomputer, and a notification unit 188 with a built-in small vibrator that outputs a plurality of types of synthetic voices according to the operation scene and generates vibration as needed. When this vibrator emits (rings) a sound, it can be vibrated in synchronization with it, so that even in a situation where the display unit 183 alone cannot reliably convey the operation status to the user, the sound and vibration can be used. It can be expected to make up for it.

The communication unit 185 is composed of two input / output units, one of which is a wireless interface unit 185A that performs predetermined communication with the communication network (communication network) 18. The other is a wireless interface unit 185B for short-range wireless communication between the communication unit 23 of the power command device 10 and the short-range wireless communication unit 180 of the cooking cooker 8.

The display unit 182, the operation unit 184, the wireless input / output unit 185, the attitude detection unit 186, the control unit 187 described later, and the notification unit 188 are connected to each other by a signal line (not shown). The posture detection unit 186 is provided with a gyro sensor, detects the posture when the user tilts the terminal device 44 (left-right / front-back direction), and outputs a signal indicating the posture to the control unit 187. To do.

The control unit 187 is roughly divided into a central processing unit (CPU) 189 and a storage unit 190 formed mainly of semiconductor storage elements. The CPU 189 executes the processing of the entire terminal device 43 according to the control program stored in the ROM and the RAM unit 191 in the storage unit 190, and the data required in the process of executing the processing is stored in the ROM. Data read from the RAM unit 191 or generated in the process of executing the process is stored in the ROM and the RAM unit 191.

The storage unit 190 includes an application processing unit 192 capable of storing application software for home electric appliances EE (at least the cooking device 8 in the fourth embodiment). The application processing unit 192 also stores application software for the input unit (liquid crystal display screen) 24 of the power command device 10. The software of the application processing unit 192 may be installed from the outside of the terminal device 43, or may be stored in the storage unit 190 from the time of manufacture / shipment of the terminal device 43.

The terminal device 43 can download desired application software from an external server 19 via a communication network 18 and store it in the application processing unit 192 of the storage unit 190. ..

When the CPU 189 executes processing according to the application processing unit 192, the functions of the predetermined reception processing unit 193, transmission processing unit 194, communication establishment unit 195, display control unit 196, and selection confirmation unit 197 are realized. To.

The terminal device 43 includes a position detection unit 198 that detects the current position of the terminal device itself, a position information storage unit 199, and a distance information calculation unit 200, respectively.
The position detection unit 198 has a function of receiving a GPS signal transmitted from the GPS satellite 201, analyzing the received signal, and calculating the current position of the terminal device 43 on the earth. That is, the position detection unit 198 grasps the current position of the terminal device 43 on the earth in real time.

The distance information calculation unit 200 reaches the target object based on the position information of the object (referred to as “target object”) registered in the position information storage unit 198 in advance and the information of the current position with the terminal device 43. It has a function to calculate the distance. The calculated distance information is output to the control unit 187 as a “distance determination information signal”. Then, the distance determination information signal is transmitted from the control unit 187 to the outside via the wireless input / output unit 185. In this embodiment, the calculated distance information is, for example, in units of 100 m, but other information may be used. This can be set by the user by operating the input unit 184 to select from a certain unit.

When the power command device 10 is registered and set as a kind of target object, the terminal device 43 includes all home electric appliances EE existing in the living space 3 in which the power command device 10 is installed, for example, a heating cooker 8. Since the distance between the two is only a few meters, it is not necessary to set and register each home appliance EE as a target. However, in the fourth embodiment, since the terminal device 43 transmits the "remote control signal indicating the reserved operation condition" and the "inquiry signal for executing the reserved operation" to the individual home appliances EE, the individual home appliances EE is set and registered as a target. This setting registration may be performed once for each home electric appliance EE unless the terminal device 43 is changed or the living space 3 is changed due to a move, but details will be described later.

When using the power command device (integrated management device) 10, it is not always necessary to individually register the information on the installation position of each home electric appliance EE in the terminal device 43, and the power command device (integrated management device) 10 The registration may be performed collectively by reading the installation position information of the above into the terminal device 43 only once.

The control unit 187 also has a function of monitoring a temporal change of the distance determination information signal, and has a function of calculating the moving speed of the terminal device 43 from the change value at regular time intervals. For example, the change in the distance indicated by the distance judgment information signal is calculated at 1-minute intervals to generate "movement speed information" such as "minute speed 100 m" and "minute speed 300 m", which are simultaneously used as the "distance judgment information signal". The operation of transmitting or transmitting the signal is performed thereafter. Therefore, in the power command device 10 that has received the "distance determination information signal" and the "movement speed information" from the terminal device 43, the power command device 10 calculates the estimated time for the terminal device 43 to move to its own position and reach it. Can be found at.

In the fourth embodiment, the power command device 10 is interposed between the terminal device 43 and the cooking cooker 8, and the direct communication is not performed. However, a method of direct communication is used. Even when adopted, the terminal device 43 moves to the installation position of the cooking cooker 8 by receiving the "distance determination information signal" and the "moving speed information" on the cooking cooker 8 side of the fourth embodiment. It has a function that can determine the time to reach.

(Initial settings for terminal devices and home appliances)
When a "remote control signal indicating reserved operation conditions", a "reserved operation execution inquiry signal", or a "reserved operation execution inquiry signal" is transmitted from the specific terminal device 43, in the fourth embodiment, these various signals are transmitted. Is directly received by the power command device 10 instead of the home appliance EE such as the heating cooker 8.

First, the unique information that identifies the terminal device 43 can be read and registered in the control unit 22 through the NFC input / output unit (not shown) of the power command device 10. As a result, various communications can be subsequently performed from the communication network 18 to the power command device 10 through the router 17. Further, the terminal device 43 also has a control program installed from the power command device 10 side for cooperative operation, and can acquire unique information of the power command device 10.

In the fourth embodiment, the heating cooker 8 is used to transmit the “remote control signal indicating the reserved operation condition” and the “inquiry signal for executing the reserved operation” described later from the terminal device 43 to the individual home electric appliance EE. Is set and registered as one of the targets. In this case, the unique information for identifying the terminal device 43 can be first read and registered in the control unit 22 through the NFC communication unit 180 (see FIG. 36) of the cooking cooker 8. In addition, a control program for cooperating with the cooking cooker 8 is installed on the terminal device 43 side as well, whereby various communications can be performed from the communication network 18 via the router 17 and the power command device 10. .. The terminal device 43 can also acquire the unique information and the identification information of the cooking device 8.

As described with reference to FIG. 40, the terminal device 43 accesses the information server 19 to download the control application software for the power command device 10 and the heating cooker 8, and then joins the power command device 10 and the heating cooker 8. You may install the control program for the cooperative operation.

One method of setting and registering the cooking cooker 8 and the power command device 10 as a target object (target position) is to use the terminal device 43 in the living space 3 to activate the current position information detection function of the terminal device 43. .. Then, the current position information is displayed on the display unit 182 on the terminal device 43, and in that state, it is read into the control device 143 through the NFC communication unit 180 of the cooking cooker 8 and registered. As a result, the terminal device 43 registers the installation position information of the cooking device 8.

Similarly, in a state where the current position information is read by the terminal device 43, the control unit 22 is made to read and register the current position information through the NFC input / output unit (not shown) of the power command device 6. As a result, the installation position information of the power command device 10 is registered in the terminal device 43. As another method, the information of the house in which the living space is actually located (latitude / longitude information, address code based on accurate address information, etc.) is directly sent to the control unit 134 by the input unit 131 of the terminal device 43. There is a way to input.

A case where the operation of the cooking cooker 8 is started by using the terminal device 43 will be described.
One of the features of the fourth embodiment is that the cooking menu can be selected by the terminal device 43, and the selection result can be input to the control device 143 via the NFC communication unit 180 of the cooking cooker 8. ..

The terminal device 43 downloads the application software for the cooker 8 from the server 19 in advance. Before cooking by heating, the application software is started (step SS1), and the display unit 183 displays a screen for setting cooking conditions of the cooking cooker 8 (SS2).

On the display screen 183, for example, three types of cooking menus, "boiled water", "simmered food", and "fried food", are displayed in icon format (SS3). Then, by touching one of the icons, the desired cooking menu can be selected (SS4).

Next, a message confirming whether or not the selected cooking menu is acceptable and an icon displaying the selected menu name are displayed on the display unit 183, and the icon is touched (SS5 to SS7). Now that the selection of the cooking menu on the terminal device 43 side is completed, the terminal device 43 is brought closer to the NFC communication unit 180 of the heating cooker 8 according to the voice guide from the notification unit 188. In this case, the cooking cooker 8 turns on the main power switch 95 first. By bringing the terminal device 43 closer, the NFC communication unit 180 can start communication and cause the cooking cooker 8 side to read the information of the selected cooking menu (SS8).

For safety reasons, the cooker 8 does not start cooking just by bringing the terminal device 43 closer, so by pressing the start key (not shown) of the operation unit 93 provided on the front side of the upper surface of the top plate 55. , Cooking starts.

As described with reference to FIG. 39, when the cooking cooker 8 is registered in the power command device 10 as a “power control target device”, the start key (not shown) of the operation unit 93 as described above is pressed. Cooking does not start just by pressing. The electric power command device 10 determines whether or not the selected cooking menu can be executed, and the cooking can be started only when the heating cooking start permission signal is received from the electric power command device.

Also in the cooking device 8 of the fourth embodiment, the same effect as that described in the first embodiment can be obtained.
Further, in the cooking device 8 of the fourth embodiment, the main body case 53 has an inclined surface portion 53J at the corners of the back surface and the bottom surface, which are the rearmost portions thereof.
An end portion of the exhaust air passage 104 leading to the exhaust port 77 is arranged above the inclined surface portion 53J.
At the end portion, a component (water receiving portion 130) constituting a bent space portion for changing the direction of the cooling air after cooling the heating sources 60L and 60R upward is arranged. Therefore, the cooling air that passes through the upper space 113 and moves in the horizontal direction is changed horizontally just before the end portion of the exhaust air passage 104, and the air flow that flows vertically or diagonally upward from the rear portion of the top plate 55. Can be formed.
This can be expected to help the ascending movement of hot air and oil smoke to the exhaust device 9 side and improve the exhaust efficiency.

Further, since the bottom of the water receiving portion 130 is formed with a recess for receiving the liquid if there is a liquid that infiltrates through the exhaust port 77, the inner lower portion of the heating cooker 8 and the cooling unit CU are formed. It can also be expected to have the effect of preventing such foreign matter (liquid) from entering the high-voltage electrical parts and the like arranged inside the device.

Embodiment 5.
FIG. 42 is a plan view showing the cooking device of the fifth embodiment. The cooking cooker 8 is a built-in induction cooking cooker in which heating ports separated from each other at predetermined intervals are provided on the left and right sides of the top plate 55. The same or corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 22 are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description is omitted.

In FIG. 42, the first blower BM1 is arranged inside the main body case 53, and two IH coils use the air in the kitchen furniture 15 sucked from the lower side surface, the lower back surface, etc. of the main body case 53 as cooling air. It is distributed and supplied to 60L and 60R. For the distribution, air passage guide plates, ducts, etc., which are not shown, are installed in the upper space 113.

The heating cooker 8 has a main body case 53 supported at a predetermined position of the kitchen furniture 15, and the upper space 113 of the main body case 53 heats an object to be heated placed above the main body case 53. The main body case 53 is provided with two IH coils 60L and 60R and an exhaust air passage 104 to which cooling air from the first blower BM1 is supplied to forcibly cool the upper space 113 of the main body case 53. At the rear portion, two exhaust ports 77 serving as end portions of the exhaust air passage 104 are provided.
That is, the two exhaust ports 77 are formed in a horizontal row with the interval W4 interposed therebetween, and the overall width dimension including the non-exhaust portion of the interval W4 is W3.

The IH coils 60L and 60R are separated from each other in the left-right direction of the main body case 53, the exhaust port 77 is composed of two exhaust ports 77, and each of the exhaust ports 77 is in the lateral width direction of the main body case 53. It has predetermined lengths W5L and W5R, respectively, and forms the maximum width dimension W3 in which the two exhaust ports 77 are lined up larger than the maximum width dimension W2 including the two IH coils 60L and 60R, respectively. It is a composition.
The width WB of the exhaust port 77 in the front-rear direction is constant over the entire exhaust port 77.

According to this heating cooker 8, an exhaust flow wall is provided behind the steam, oil smoke, etc. generated from an object to be heated such as a cooking utensil on two heating portions (IH coils 60L, 60R). It can be formed and can be expected to effectively prevent contamination of the walls surrounding the cooker 8.

Further, if the storage room 70 is provided, it is possible to store articles, seasonings, etc. used during cooking, and it is expected that the convenience of the user will be improved.

Further, the cooking cooker 8 has a main body case 53 supported at a predetermined position of the kitchen furniture 15.
Inside the main body case, IH coils 60L and 60R for heating the object to be heated placed above the main body case and cooling air from the first blower are supplied to forcibly force the internal space of the main body case 53. With an exhaust air passage 104 for cooling,
The heating source composed of the IH coil is arranged at one location symmetrical with each other on both sides of the center line CL1 that divides the main body case 53 into left and right.
An exhaust port 77, which is a terminal portion of the exhaust air passage 104, is provided at the rear portion of the main body case 53.
The exhaust port 77 is composed of two exhaust ports, and each of the exhaust ports 77 has predetermined lengths W5L and W5R symmetrically with respect to the center line CL1 and in the lateral width direction of the main body case 53. Have each
The configuration is characterized in that the maximum width dimension W3 in which the two exhaust ports 77 are arranged is formed larger than the maximum width dimension W2 including the two IH coils (heating portions).

According to the cooker 8, steam, oil smoke, etc. generated from objects to be heated such as the first cooker 62 and the second cooker 90 placed directly above the left and right IH coils 60L and 60R of the main body case 53. Can be effectively guided to the exhaust device 9 side.
That is, according to the fifth embodiment, an updraft can be created in the rear part of the main body case 53 by the clean air from the exhaust air passage 104. Therefore, steam, oil smoke, and the like generated from the above-mentioned object to be heated can be efficiently guided to the exhaust device 9 side.

Moreover, since the exhaust port is arranged with the center of the main body case as the boundary, the exhaust flow can be supplied without being biased to one side (left side and right side) behind the cooking cooker, and the steam generated from the object to be heated. It can be expected that the exhaust of oil and oil smoke is stably performed without being affected by the position of cooking, and it is possible to prevent the wall 11 and furniture of the living space adjacent to the kitchen furniture 15 from being soiled.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the induction heating cooker 8 is provided with an IH coil, but a fast-heating heater called an infrared heater or a radiant heater may be used for the heating unit. It may also be used in combination with an IH coil. Further, a cooking device using a burner that uses city gas, LP gas, or the like as fuel as a heating source may be used.

In addition, the temperature of the object to be heated (first cooking utensil 62, etc.) and the top plate 55 were measured to detect the preheating temperature during automatic fried food cooking, but the object to be cooked was placed in the object to be heated. And the temperature of cooking oil may be directly measured by a measuring means such as a temperature probe to control the cooking state and the process.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-125992 proposes a temperature detection unit that comes into direct contact with a cooked food in a cooking container.
Similarly, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-125992 supplies electric power to a temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature of an object to be measured, a wireless communication means for transmitting the temperature information detected by the temperature detecting means, and the wireless communication means. It includes a power supply unit, a temperature detecting means, a wireless communication means, and a housing that houses the power supply unit in a watertight state. The power supply unit stores a power receiving coil that receives electric power by electromagnetic induction and a power receiving coil that receives electric power. A heating cooker having a storage battery is proposed.
Therefore, in the temperature detection circuit 144 described in the first embodiment of the present invention, such a direct temperature measurement method may be adopted.

Further, the exhaust port 77 is not limited to the case where the exhaust port 77 is formed in the outer frame 54 as in the first embodiment. When the outer frame 54 is not provided, it may be formed on the rear partition plate 103 or may be formed on another member. For example, the upper end portion of the rear surface plate 53H of the main body case 53 may be extended horizontally behind the top plate 55 to form an exhaust port 77 at that portion. The end portion of the exhaust air passage 104 may be covered with an exhaust cover 78 from above, and the exhaust port 77 may be directly formed on the exhaust cover 78. Further, the top plate 55 may be provided with an exhaust port 77, and the exhaust port may also be used as the final exhaust port 128. That is, in this case, no cover or the like is installed above the exhaust port 77 of the top plate 55, and the air is directly exhausted from the exhaust port 77 to the living space.

Further, a second blower is provided inside the lower space 112 and the storage chamber 70, and the air sucked from the outside of the main body 8A is supplied to the storage chamber 70 by this blower, and the air sent into the storage chamber 70 is finally supplied. The exhaust air passage 104 may be discharged to the outside of the main body 8A via the exhaust port 77. In this case, since the air inside the storage chamber is positively discharged, the air does not stay in the storage chamber 70. Therefore, even if there is hot air inside the storage chamber, there is an advantage that it can be discharged from the exhaust air passage.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the size of the exhaust capacity is distinguished for the exhaust device 9 by the classification of "weak operation" mode, "medium operation" mode, and "strong operation" mode. The exhaust device 9 is not limited to being operated in such three categories, and may have two levels of strength or may be controlled in four or more levels.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, since the central partition plate 105 for partitioning the rear of the rear partition plate 103 into two left and right is provided, the end portion of the exhaust air passage 104 is the left window 104L. And it is divided into the window 104R on the right side. That is, the downstream side of the rear partition plate 103 due to the flow of cooling air is substantially partitioned into two air passages by the central partition plate 105, and the final openings thereof are the left and right windows 104L and 104R. .. Therefore, the cooling air in the upper space 113 that has passed through the ventilation window provided in the rear partition plate 103 does not mix immediately after the passage.

On the other hand, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the cooling air that has passed through the ventilation window 129 and the air passage 177 provided in the rear partition plate 103 may be mixed immediately after the passage. It reaches two exhaust ports 77.

Further, in the fourth embodiment, since the inside of the water receiving portion 130 has partition walls 181 at several places in the left-right direction thereof to regulate the flow of the cooling air in the lateral direction, as in the second embodiment. It doesn't mix. That is, the partition wall 181 is positively partitioned at the end of the exhaust air passage 104. In addition, the positive meaning means that the structure does not maintain airtightness to the extent that the air flow is completely blocked by a sealing material or the like.

Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, if a foreign substance (such as a rag) is placed directly above the left exhaust port 77 (77L) and the exhaust is hindered, the cooling air is cooled in the water receiving portion 130. Is rarely moved to the right and concentratedly discharged from the exhaust port 77 (77R) on the right side.

However, when the exhaust on the downstream side from the ventilation window 129 provided on the rear partition plate 103 is stagnant, the flow of the cooling air to the right side naturally increases in the upper space 113 immediately before reaching the rear partition plate 103. As a result, the air after cooling the IH coils 60R, 60L, the inside of the cooling unit CU, and the like is discharged from the right exhaust port 77 (77R) into the upper space 113 without abnormal stagnation.

Therefore, even if an abnormal situation occurs in which the exhaust port 77 on one side is blocked by foreign matter as described above, the IH coils 60R and 60L inside the main body 8A, the inverter circuit board 117 in the cooling unit CU, etc. It is avoided to cause overheating. Further, since the exhaust flow of clean air is maintained from the exhaust port 77, the effect of guiding steam, oil smoke, etc. generated from the object to be heated on the top plate 55 in the direction of the exhaust device 9 can be expected.

Even in the case of such an abnormal situation, as described in the embodiment, the exhaust port 77 has a size longer than the maximum outer diameter of the IH coils 60R and 60L (for example, about 20 cm). Because it is provided, for example, the air after cooling is vigorous from a narrow exhaust port with a width of about 10 cm, and it does not blow out locally (intensively), so that it is directly above or at the rear part of the main body 8A. A wall of a clean air flow that goes diagonally upward or the like can be formed in a wide range in the lateral direction.

In addition, as described above, it is detected that an abnormal situation has occurred in which the exhaust port 77 on one side is blocked by foreign matter, and the operation is automatically changed to enhance the blowing capacity of the first blower BM1 or a voice synthesizer. A warning notification (including prompting an inspection to see if the exhaust port 77 is not blocked) may be given to the user by 145 or the like. For example, when a pair of barometric pressure sensors are installed to detect the barometric pressure in the right half and the left half of the water receiving unit 130, and a barometric pressure difference of a certain value or more occurs between the barometric pressures measured by the two barometric pressure sensors. , The control device 143 may perform a corresponding operation such as a change in air flow amount or a warning as described above.

A partition wall is provided so as to completely partition the end portion on the outlet side of the exhaust air passage 104 into the exhaust port 77 (77R) on the right side and the exhaust port 77 (77L) on the left side, and the downstream side from the upper space 113. The exhaust air passage 104 may be branched into two on the left and right to form two independent exhaust air passages. The partition wall referred to here is a partition wall that divides the end portion of the exhaust air passage 104 up to the exhaust port 77 into two, like the central partition plate 105 shown in the first embodiment.

Further, the left and right IH coils 60L and 60R may be used not only as one coil wound in a donut shape (annular shape) but also in combination of a plurality of coils wound in two or three or more layers. Further, the copper plate may be cut out in a circular shape or the like to form one coil, and the coil is not limited to a coil wound with a thin copper wire or an aluminum wire.

Further, in each embodiment, the planar shapes of the IH coils 60L and 60R are close to a perfect circle, but they may be rectangular or elliptical. For example, when an elliptical IH coil is installed so as to be long in the front-rear direction, the maximum minor axis dimension of the elliptical IH coil becomes the maximum width dimension of the IH coil.

It should be considered that the embodiments disclosed this time are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. The substantive scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of claims, not the above description, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.

The cooking cooker according to the present invention can be widely used not only in the kitchen of a general house but also in a kitchen such as a public facility or a store.
