That is, when imaging the heating cooking chamber E, the imaging unit 40 images the heating cooking chamber E via the first light transmitting unit 71 and further via the second light transmitting unit 72.
As an image of the heating cooking chamber E by the imaging unit 40, at least the flame 7F of the upper burner 7U and the object to be heated 9 are imaged. In the present embodiment, the imaging unit 40 images the range including the marks α1 to α6 shown in FIG. 7, and images the object to be heated 9 placed in the range.

Two cameras for imaging are provided in the imaging unit 40, and the left camera 41 (one camera) images the heating cooking chamber E from a different imaging direction from the right camera 42 (the other camera).
In the present embodiment, the left-hand camera 41 takes an image in a direction facing the right-hand camera 42 in the left-right direction X when viewed in the vertical direction Z.

Hereinafter, a specific operation of imaging by the gas stove GC of the present embodiment will be described.
First, the user places the object to be heated 9 on the mounting portion 51 of the cooking container K (see FIG. 4). The object to be heated 9 is, for example, a saury. In the present embodiment, the user places the object to be heated 9 in a range including the marks α1 to α6 shown in FIG. The range is predetermined by selecting the range covered by the heating power of the grill burner 7 most appropriately for cooking.

The user places the cooking container K on which the object to be heated 9 is placed on the cooking container support portion L and accommodates the cooking container K in the heating cooking chamber E of the grill storage 6. Then, when the user instructs the control unit 100 to start cooking via the input display unit D, the control unit 100 opens the grill gas amount adjusting valve 19, energizes the spark plug P, and ignites the grill burner 7.

When the user instructs the control unit 100 to start cooking via the input display unit D, the control unit 100 instructs the image pickup unit 40 to start imaging.
In the present embodiment, the imaging unit 40 images images 10 times per second. The control unit 100 acquires the image information of the image Ph of the cooking chamber E imaged by the image pickup unit 40 from the image pickup unit 40, and sequentially records it in the storage unit 110.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of four or more marks, for example, marks α1 to marks α6 are marked on the mounting portion 51. The left side camera 41 and the right side camera 42 of the image pickup unit 40 take images of the flame 7F of the grill burner 7 and the object to be heated 9, respectively, and also take images including the marks α1 to α6 which are a part of the background image. ..

The control unit 100 reads the image information from the storage unit 110 again, acquires the image information, synthesizes the converted image information of the converted image, and stores the converted image information in the storage unit 110.

Supplementary information on the composition of converted image information.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of four or more marks, for example, marks α1 to marks α6 are marked on the mounting portion 51. The left side camera 41 and the right side camera 42 of the image pickup unit 40 take images of the flame 7F of the grill burner 7 and the object to be heated 9, respectively, and also take images including the marks α1 to α6 which are a part of the background image. ..

The left-side camera 41 captures, for example, the image Ph on the left side shown in FIG.
The control unit 100 reads and acquires the image information of the image Ph on the left side as shown in FIG. 7 from the storage unit 110, and recognizes at least four marks from the mark α1 to the mark α6 from the image Ph on the left side. The image was deformed so that the marks α1 to the mark α6 included in the image corresponded to the actual arrangement of the marks α1 to the mark α6, and the image was deformed as if the image was taken by looking down from above in the vertical direction Z. The converted image on the left side is obtained, and the image information is stored in the storage unit 110.

In the case of the right-side camera 42, the opposite is true of the case of the left-side camera 41, so the description thereof will be omitted.

Then, when instructed by the user via the graphical user interface 21, the control unit 100 reads out the image information of the converted image on the left side and the converted image on the right side from the storage unit 110, and marks α1 and marks of the converted image. A composite image (Fig.) By combining the range surrounded by α2, mark α3, and mark α4 and the range surrounded by mark α3, mark α4, mark α5, and mark α6 in the converted image on the right side at the marks α2 and mark α3. (Not shown), it is displayed on the input display unit D. It should be noted that this composite image substantially matches the image shown in FIG. 6 corresponding to the state of the range surrounded by the mark α1, the mark α2, the mark α5, and the mark α6.

During cooking, smoke is generated from the object 9 to be heated. The smoke generated from the object 9 to be heated pollutes the left and right wall plates 62, the back plate 69, the grill door 8, the bottom 67, and the inner surface side of the ceiling 68 that divide the cooking chamber E. This smoke is discharged to the outside through the exhaust passage Ex that is connected to the cooking chamber E in communication.

Since the smoke generated from the object 9 to be heated during cooking rises inside the cooking chamber E, the ceiling portion 68 is most likely to be contaminated.
Since the first light transmitting portion 71 is located on both side surfaces of the cooking chamber E in the left-right direction X and is covered by the container wall portion 52, the first light transmitting portion 71 is shielded from smoke generated from the object to be heated 9.
The second light transmitting portions 72 are located on both side surfaces of the cooking chamber E in the left-right direction X, and are less likely to be exposed to the smoke rising inside the cooking chamber E and are less likely to be soiled.

During cooking, the control unit 100 uses a control method corresponding to the cooking plan selected by the user on the input display unit D to capture the image Ph of the cooking chamber E imaged by the imaging unit 40 or the value of the container temperature sensor 11. According to this, the grill gas amount adjusting valve 19 is adjusted to adjust and control the heat amount of the flame 7F of the grill burner 7.
The cooking plan may be selected from those stored in the storage unit 110 in advance, or may be sequentially set by the user.

The gas stove GC of the present embodiment is controlled by the following method during cooking.
The image pickup unit 40 of the gas stove GC of the present embodiment images and controls the heating cooking chamber E from outside the heating cooking chamber E via the first light transmitting portion 71 (light transmitting portion) and the second light transmitting portion 72. The unit 100 stores the image Ph1 as the image Ph acquired by being imaged by the image pickup unit 40 when the (heating unit) starts heating in the storage unit 110 as the first image information Pd1, and stores the first image information Pd1 in the storage unit 110. The image Ph2 as the image Ph2 acquired by being imaged by the imaging unit 40 after being stored is stored in the storage unit 110 as the second image information Pd2, and the control unit 100 stores the first image information Pd1 and the second image from the storage unit 110. The information Pd2 is read out, and the brightness M1 of the flame 7F in the first image information Pd1 is compared with the brightness M2 of the flame 7F in the second image information Pd2, and the brightness of the flame 7F in the second image information Pd2 is compared. An image captured by the imaging unit 40 when M2 determines that the brightness is equal to or higher than the first predetermined ratio t1 (first predetermined ratio) with respect to the brightness M1 of the flame 7F in the first image information Pd1. The heating of the grill burner 7 is controlled based on the image of the object 9 to be heated in Ph.
At the same time, the control unit 100 controls the heating of the grill burner 7 based on the value of the container temperature sensor 11.

In the present embodiment, when the user instructs the control unit 100 to start cooking via the input display unit D, the image Ph1 is stored in the storage unit 110 as the first image information Pd1.
In the present embodiment, the control unit 100 is continuously transmitted from the image pickup unit 40 for a predetermined time (for example, one minute as a predetermined time) from the time when the user instructs the control unit 100 to start cooking via the input display unit D. The image Ph1 is acquired, and the average value of the information of the image is stored in the storage unit 110 as the first image information Pd1.

That is, the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 is compared with the first predetermined ratio t1, and if the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 is equal to or greater than the first predetermined ratio t1, the control unit 100 takes an image. The heating of the grill burner 7 is continuously controlled based on the image of the object to be heated 9 in the image Ph captured by the unit 40 and the value of the container temperature sensor 11.
In this embodiment, the first predetermined ratio t1 is 0.9.

In the present embodiment, as a control of heating the grill burner 7 based on the value of the container temperature sensor 11, the control unit 100 sets the value of the container temperature sensor 11 to an upper limit set in advance in the cooking plan selected by the operator. If the temperature exceeds the temperature, the heating of the grill burner 7 is stopped.

In the control unit 100, the brightness of the flame 7F in the second image information Pd2 is less than the first predetermined ratio t1 and the brightness of the second predetermined ratio t2 or more with respect to the brightness of the flame 7F in the first image information Pd1. In a certain case, the heating control of the grill burner 7 based on the image of the object to be heated 9 of the image Ph captured by the imaging unit 40 is stopped.

That is, the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 is compared with the first predetermined ratio t1 and the second predetermined ratio t2, and the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 is less than the first predetermined ratio t1 and the second predetermined ratio t1. If the ratio is t2 or more, the control unit 100 controls the heating of the grill burner 7 based on the value of the container temperature sensor 11 without being based on the image of the object 9 to be heated in the image Ph.

When the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 is less than the first predetermined ratio t1 and the second predetermined ratio t2 or more, the first light transmitting portion 71 to the second light transmitting portion 72 become dirty, and the imaging unit 40 appropriately images. Because it cannot be done.

The control unit 100 has a second predetermined ratio t2 (third) in which the brightness M2 of the flame 7F in the second image information Pd2 is smaller than the first predetermined ratio t1 with respect to the brightness M1 of the flame 7F in the first image information Pd1. When the brightness is less than (2) predetermined ratio), the heating of the grill burner 7 is stopped.
In the present embodiment, the second predetermined ratio t2 is 0.8.

That is, the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 is compared with the second predetermined ratio t2, and if the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 is less than the second predetermined ratio t2, the control unit 100 cooks. To cancel.

This is because when the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 is smaller than the second predetermined ratio t2, the first light transmitting portion 71 to the second light transmitting portion 72 are severely soiled, and the imaging unit 40 cannot properly image. Further, it is not appropriate to control the heating of the grill burner 7 based on the value of the container temperature sensor 11 and continue the cooking because the inside of the refrigerator is excessively dirty.

When the ratio of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 becomes smaller than the first predetermined ratio t1, the control unit 100 determines that the first light transmitting unit 71 or the second light transmitting unit 72 is contaminated, and the contamination occurs. Is notified. This is to inform the user that the cooking is not performed based on the image of the object to be heated 9 of the image Ph captured by the imaging unit 40.
In the present embodiment, the input display unit D blinks the liquid crystal touch panel of the input display unit D to notify the occurrence of contamination.

Next, the control unit 100 acquires the image Ph from the image pickup unit 40 and stores the image information in the storage unit 110 as the first image information Pd1 (step # 11). After that, the control unit 100 stores the image information of the image Ph acquired from the image pickup unit 40 immediately before as the second image information Pd2 in the storage unit 110 (step # 12).

Next, the control unit 100 reads out the image information from the storage unit 110 as the first image information Pd1 and the second image information Pd2, and obtains the ratio (M2 / M1) of the brightness M2 to the brightness M1 (step). # 13).
Then, when M2 / M1 is compared with the first predetermined ratio t1 and M2 / M1 is equal to or higher than the first predetermined ratio t1 (step # 14: YES), the image Ph immediately before being imaged by the imaging unit 40 is heated. The heating of the grill burner 7 is controlled based on the image of the object 9 and the value of the container temperature sensor 11 (step # 15).

If M2 / M1 is less than the first predetermined ratio t1 (step # 14: NO), the process proceeds to step # 21.
When the predetermined cooking plan is completed (step # 16: YES), the cooking is finished (step # 17). If the cooking plan has not expired (step # 16: NO), the process returns to step # 12.

In step # 21, M2 / M1 and the second predetermined ratio t2 are compared, and if M2 / M1 is the second predetermined ratio t2 or more (step # 21: YES), the image of the object to be heated 9 in the image Ph is displayed. The heating of the grill burner 7 is controlled based on the value of the container temperature sensor 11 without being based (step # 22).
When the predetermined cooking plan is completed (step # 23: YES), the cooking is finished (step # 24). If the cooking plan has not expired (step # 23: NO), the process returns to step # 21.

If M2 / M1 is less than the second predetermined ratio t2 (step # 21: NO), the process proceeds to step # 31 and cooking is interrupted (step # 31).
