Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2017-9206

By the way, when a user such as an elderly person cooks using a cooking device, even if the user's behavior is normal, the user's behavior may be sluggish, slow to move, misunderstanding of the cooking procedure, or the like. As a result, a situation is likely to occur in which the continuous operation time of the heat generating portion of the cooking device or the heating time of the cooked food becomes too long. As a result, a situation is likely to occur in which the abnormality detection function of the cooking device is automatically activated.

However, in the conventional system as seen in Patent Document 1, when the occurrence of an event such as an abnormality of the cooking device is detected, the occurrence of the event is notified to the person concerned of the user regardless of the behavior mode of the user. Will be done. Therefore, even if the user's behavior is normal, even if the occurrence of an abnormality in the cooking cooker is detected simply due to the sluggishness of the user's behavior, the relevant person is notified. .. Therefore, the notification to the person concerned of the user of the cooking cooker is likely to be given more frequently than necessary.

The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and it is highly necessary to notify related persons such as the family of the user of the cooking cooker when an abnormality occurs in the cooking cooker. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking device which can be carried out only in.

In the heating cooker according to the first aspect of the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, the relationship between the heating unit, the abnormality detecting unit that detects the occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality during the operation of the heating unit, and the user. It is a heating cooker provided with an information transmission unit that transmits notification information that can be received by an external terminal used by a person.
It is equipped with a first timekeeping unit that measures the non-operation time, which is the duration of the state in which the heating cooker is not operated while the heating unit is operating.
When the abnormality detection unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, the information transmission unit transmits the first notification information that can be received by the external terminal regarding the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality. The first execution is performed on the condition that the non-operation time before the abnormality, which is the non-operation time measured by the first timekeeping unit before the detection of the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, is A predetermined time or more. The basic configuration is that it is configured to have a notification information transmission unit .

In the present invention (1st to 8th inventions), the "user" means the user of the cooking device of the present invention. Further, the fact that an arbitrary amount X such as the non-operation time before abnormality is Y or more means that X ≧ Y or X> Y. For example, in the above basic configuration , "the non-operation time before abnormality is the time equal to or longer than the A predetermined time" means that the non-operation time before abnormality ≥ the predetermined time A, or the non-operation time before abnormality>. A means that it is a predetermined time. Further, in the present invention, the "operation of the cooking cooker" is not limited to the operation of the components of the cooking cooker, but the operation of the heated object heated by the operation of the heat generating portion of the cooking cooker (for example, the cooking container). Operation of moving the ingredients, operation of putting ingredients into the cooking container, etc.) may also be included.

According to the present invention having the above basic configuration, the first notification information transmission unit of the information transmission unit transmits the first notification information when the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected. It is executed on the condition that the non-operation time before the abnormality is the time equal to or longer than the A predetermined time.

Here, the non-operation time before the abnormality is the time equal to or longer than the A predetermined time, because the predetermined type of abnormality occurs in a state where the cooking device is not operated for a long time of the A predetermined time or longer. If you do. Therefore, it is highly possible that the user has forgotten that the cooking cooker is being operated (the heat generating portion is being operated).

Then, according to the present invention having the above basic configuration, the first notification information can be transmitted in such a case. As a result, the user's related person receives the first notification information on his / her own external terminal, so that the user forgets that the cooking cooker is being operated for a relatively long time. It is possible to recognize that an abnormality has occurred in the cooking device. As a result, the person concerned can call attention to the user and take a corresponding process such as confirming the state of the user. Further, for example, when the non-operation time before the abnormality is the time equal to or longer than the A predetermined time, if the first notification information is promptly transmitted, the attention of the related party to the user can be drawn at an early stage. It is possible.

On the other hand, when the non-operation time before the abnormality is not the time equal to or longer than the A predetermined time, the user is operating the cooking cooker at a relatively short time before the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected. It can be considered that a predetermined type of abnormality of the cooking device has occurred in a situation where the user normally recognizes that the cooking device is being operated. Further, according to the present invention having the above basic configuration, in such a case, the first notification information is not transmitted, so that the frequency of transmission of the first notification information is prevented from becoming excessively high. can.

Therefore, according to the present invention having the above basic configuration, it is highly necessary to notify related persons such as the family of the user of the cooking cooker when an abnormality occurs in the cooking cooker. It can be executed in a limited way.

In the present invention having the above basic configuration, in one aspect of the first notification information transmission unit of the information transmission unit, it is a necessary and sufficient condition that the non-operation time before the abnormality is a time equal to or longer than the A predetermined time. It may be configured to transmit the first notification information.

In addition, in the present invention having the above basic configuration , the first notification information transmission unit is of the predetermined type by the abnormality detection unit in a situation where the non-operation time before the abnormality is equal to or longer than the A predetermined time. The embodiment is adopted in which the first notification information is transmitted when the occurrence of the abnormality occurs at a frequency of the first predetermined number of times or more within the first predetermined period. Can also be done ( first invention).

According to this, when the non-operation time before the abnormality is longer than the A predetermined time, the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detecting unit relatively frequently. The first notification information is transmitted to.

Therefore, the first notification information can be transmitted in a situation where the user forgets to operate the cooking cooker relatively frequently. As a result, it is possible to call the attention of the concerned parties to the user at an appropriate timing.

Further, in the present invention having the above basic configuration , the first notification information transmitting unit is of the predetermined type by the abnormality detecting unit in a situation where the no-operation time before the abnormality is equal to or longer than the A predetermined time. When the occurrence of an abnormality occurs at a frequency of the first predetermined number of times or more within the first predetermined period, or when the non-operation time before the abnormality is longer than the A predetermined time, the B predetermined It is also possible to adopt an embodiment in which the first notification information is transmitted when the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit in a situation where the time is longer than the time. Yes ( second invention).

According to this, in a situation where the user forgets to operate the cooking cooker and the operating state of the heat generating portion is left unattended for an excessively long time of B predetermined time or longer, the first notification is promptly made. Information can be sent. As a result, it is possible to call the attention of the concerned parties to the user at an early stage.

Further, even if the non-operation time before abnormality has not reached the predetermined time B or more, the predetermined non-operation time before abnormality is relatively long than the predetermined time A. When the occurrence of the type of abnormality is detected relatively frequently, the first notification information can be transmitted. As a result, it is possible to call the attention of the concerned parties to the user at an appropriate timing.

In the present invention having the above basic configuration, when the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, the heat generating unit is forcibly put into an abnormal stop state until a predetermined abnormality response operation is performed. After the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality response control unit to be held and the abnormality detection unit, the second operation time after the abnormality, which is the duration in the state where the abnormality response operation is not performed, is measured. Further, the information transmitting unit further includes a time measuring unit, and the information transmitting unit receives the predetermined type of abnormality after the abnormality detecting unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality in a state where the necessary condition regarding the non-operation time before the abnormality is not satisfied. Transmission of the second notification information that can be received by the external terminal regarding the occurrence of a type of abnormality is such that the total time of the pre-abnormal operation non-operation time and the post-abnormal non-operation time is a predetermined C predetermined time or more. It is also possible to adopt an embodiment in which the second notification information transmitting unit is configured to further have a second notification information transmitting unit that executes the above as a necessary condition ( third invention). The above-mentioned "abnormal stop state" means an automatic operation stop state of the heat generating portion caused by the occurrence of the preceding predetermined type of abnormality. Further, the above-mentioned "abnormality handling operation" means an operation for returning the heat generating portion in the abnormally stopped state to a state in which it can be operated normally.

According to this, the second notification information transmission unit of the information transmission unit has the necessary condition (requirement condition for the first notification information transmission unit to transmit the first notification information) regarding the no-operation time before the abnormality. Even if it is not satisfied, that is, even if the non-operation time before the abnormality is shorter than the A predetermined time, the second notification information is transmitted after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected. The transmission is performed on the condition that the total time of the no-operation time before the abnormality and the no-operation time after the abnormality is a time equal to or longer than the C predetermined time.

Here, even if the non-operation time before the abnormality is shorter than the predetermined time A, in the situation where the total time is longer than the predetermined time C, the user is before the occurrence of the abnormality in the cooking device (abnormality). There is a possibility that the cooker may not be aware that an abnormality has occurred in the cooker for a relatively long time, forgetting that the cooker was operated (operating the heat generating part) from a relatively close time when the cooker occurred. Is high. Then, according to the third invention, the second notification information can be transmitted in such a case.

As a result, even if the non-operation time before the abnormality is short, the person concerned with the user cooks the food relatively close to the time when the abnormality occurs before the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality (for example, immediately before the occurrence of the abnormality). If you forget that you were operating the device and do not recognize the occurrence of the abnormality for a relatively long time, the user will be alerted by receiving the second notification information on your own external terminal. Then, it is possible to take a corresponding process such as confirming the state of the user.

On the other hand, when the total time is not the time equal to or longer than the C predetermined time, the user performs the abnormality response operation at a relatively early time after the detection of the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, so that the user performs the abnormality response operation. It can be considered that the occurrence of the abnormality of the cooking device is normally recognized. According to the third invention, in such a case, the second notification information is not transmitted, so that it is possible to prevent the frequency of transmission of the second notification information from becoming excessively high.

In the third aspect of the invention, in one aspect of the second notification information transmitting unit, after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detecting unit, the total time is set to a time equal to or longer than the C predetermined time. The second notification information may be configured to be transmitted, subject to the necessary and sufficient conditions.

In addition, in the third invention, after the abnormality detection unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality in the state where the necessary condition regarding the pre-abnormal operation non-operation time is not satisfied. , The second notification information is transmitted when the total time becomes the time of the C predetermined time or more at a frequency of the second predetermined number of times or more within the second predetermined period. It is also possible to adopt the aspect of being ( fourth invention).

According to this, after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected, the second notification information is transmitted when the frequency that the total time becomes the time of the C predetermined time or more is relatively high.

Therefore, even if the no-operation time before the abnormality is short, the user forgets that the cooking device has been operated and does not recognize the occurrence of the abnormality in the cooking device for a long time (and by extension,). , The total time becomes longer than the second predetermined time) relatively frequently (the situation occurs at a frequency of the second predetermined number of times or more within the second predetermined period). Information can be sent. As a result, it is possible to call the attention of the concerned parties to the user at an appropriate timing.

Further, in the third invention, after the abnormality detection unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality in a state where the necessary condition regarding the pre-abnormal operation non-operation time is not satisfied, the second notification information transmission unit When the total time becomes the time of the C predetermined time or more at a frequency of the second predetermined number of times or more within the second predetermined period, or the total time is longer than the C predetermined time. D It is also possible to adopt an embodiment in which the second notification information is transmitted when the time reaches a predetermined time or longer ( Fifth Invention).

According to this, the user forgets that he / she was operating the cooking cooker and does not recognize the occurrence of the abnormality of the cooking cooker for an excessively long time (by extension, the total time is the D predetermined time). In such a situation (which is an excessively long time, which is longer than the time), the second notification information can be promptly transmitted. As a result, it is possible to call the attention of the concerned parties to the user at an early stage.

Further, even if the total time does not reach the time equal to or longer than the D predetermined time, the total time is relatively frequently longer than the predetermined time C (second). The second notification information can be transmitted in a situation where it occurs at a frequency of a second predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period). As a result, it is possible to call the attention of the concerned parties to the user at an appropriate timing.

Further, in the heating cooker according to the second aspect of the present invention, the heating unit, the abnormality detecting unit that detects the occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality during the operation of the heating unit, and the abnormality detecting unit provide the predetermined type of abnormality. When the occurrence of A cooker with an information transmitter that transmits possible notification information.
The first timekeeping part that measures the non-operation time, which is the duration of the state in which the cooking device is not operated while the heat generating part is operating, and
After the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, it is provided with a second timing unit that measures the no-operation time after the abnormality, which is the duration in the state where the abnormality response operation is not performed.
When the abnormality detection unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, the information transmission unit transmits abnormality-related notification information which is notification information that can be received by the external terminal regarding the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality. That is, the non-operation time before the abnormality, which is the non-operation time measured by the first timekeeping unit before the detection of the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, and the second after the detection of the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality. It is characterized in that it is configured to be executed on the condition that the total time with the non-operation time after the abnormality timed by the timekeeping unit is the time C predetermined time or more as a necessary condition (the sixth invention). In the sixth aspect of the invention, the total time being the C predetermined time or more includes the case where the non-operation time before the abnormality is the C predetermined time or more.

According to the sixth invention, the information transmitting unit transmits the abnormality-related notification information after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected, so that the total time is equal to or longer than the C fixed time. Execute it as a necessary condition. For this reason, in a situation where the user forgets to operate the cooking cooker for a relatively long time (a situation in which the non-operation time before the abnormality becomes the C predetermined time or more), the cooking cooker is used. When an abnormality occurs, the abnormality-related information can be transmitted in the same manner as in the case where the first notification information is transmitted in the invention having the basic configuration . Further, even if the non-operation time before the abnormality is shorter than the C predetermined time, when the total time becomes longer than the C predetermined time, the second notification information is transmitted in the third invention. As in the case, anomaly-related information can be transmitted.

For this reason, when a predetermined type of abnormality occurs in the cooking cooker in a situation where the user forgets that the cooking cooker is being operated for a relatively long time, or the person concerned with the user causes an abnormality of the cooking cooker. Forgetting that the user had been operating the cooker from a point relatively close to the time of the occurrence of the abnormality (for example, immediately before the occurrence of the abnormality) before the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, the occurrence of the abnormality was relatively high. If it is not recognized for a long time, the reception of the abnormality-related notification information on its own external terminal calls attention to the user, and it is possible to take a corresponding process such as confirming the state of the user.

On the other hand, when the total time is not the time equal to or longer than the C predetermined time, it is possible that the cooking cooker has not been operated for a long time before the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, and the predetermined time is not specified. Since the abnormality response operation is performed relatively early after the occurrence of the type of abnormality, it can be considered that the user normally executes the operation of the cooking cooker or recognizes the occurrence of the abnormality. In this case, since the abnormality-related notification information is not transmitted, it is possible to prevent the abnormality-related notification information from being transmitted excessively frequently.

Therefore, according to the sixth invention, when an abnormality occurs in the cooking device, the notification to the related persons such as the family of the user of the cooking device is limited to the situation with high necessity. can do.

In the sixth aspect, as one aspect of the information transmission unit, after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detection unit, the total time becomes the time equal to or longer than the C predetermined time. It may be configured to transmit the abnormality-related notification information, provided that the above condition is necessary and sufficient.

In addition, in the sixth invention, after the abnormality detection unit detects the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality, the information transmission unit may have a total time of the C predetermined time or more. It is also possible to adopt an embodiment in which the abnormality-related notification information is transmitted when the occurrence occurs more than a predetermined number of times within a predetermined period ( 7th invention).

Further, in the sixth invention, it is predetermined that the information transmission unit has a total time equal to or longer than the C predetermined time after the occurrence of the predetermined type of abnormality is detected by the abnormality detecting unit. When the occurrence occurs more than a predetermined number of times within the period, or when the total time becomes a time equal to or longer than a predetermined time D, which is longer than the predetermined time C, the abnormality-related notification information is transmitted. It is also possible to adopt the aspect of being configured ( 8th invention).

According to these 7th inventions or 8th inventions, the same effects as those of the 4th invention or the 5th invention can be obtained, respectively.

In the present embodiment, the information transmission processing unit 24 of the control device 20 and the communication device 30 constitute the information transmission unit of the present invention.

Here, in the present embodiment, the abnormality detected by the abnormality detection unit 21 is caused by forgetting to turn it off or the like, and the continuous operation time (duration of combustion operation) of any of the burners 3 is a predetermined upper limit time. It is said that one of the burners 3 will misfire due to an abnormality of exceeding (for example, 2 hours for the stove burner 3L, 3R, 3B, for example 15 minutes for the grill burner), spillage of cooked food during heating, and the like. Detection of the temperature of the object to be heated by any of the stove burners 3R, 3L, 3B, or the temperature inside the grill 4 due to abnormalities, empty cooking of the cooking container, burning of the cooked food, etc. It includes an abnormality that the value rises excessively. These abnormalities are basically abnormalities that occur or are likely to occur when the duration of continuous combustion operation of the burner 3 is long.

The abnormality to be detected by the abnormality detection unit 21 is not limited to the above abnormality, and the cooking cooker 1 is left unattended after the operation of the cooking cooker 1 is started (after the combustion operation of any burner 3 is started). Matters caused by this may also be included. For example, when the cooking cooker 1 can perform automatic cooking operation or timer operation, after the automatic cooking operation or the combustion operation of the burner 3 by the timer operation is automatically stopped, for a predetermined time or more. The matter that the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3 is not pressed (fire extinguishing operation) may also be included in the abnormality of the detection target by the abnormality detection unit 21.

Further, the operation control unit 25 has a function as an abnormality response control unit in the present invention, and when the abnormality detection unit 21 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, the fuel for the burner 3 related to the generated abnormality is used. The supply is forcibly cut off to keep the burner 3 in a fire extinguishing state. This fire extinguishing state corresponds to the abnormal stop state in the present invention. Then, in the present embodiment, the abnormality canceling operation is a fire extinguishing operation for the burner 3 forcibly put into a fire extinguishing state in response to the detection of the occurrence of an abnormality (pressing operation of the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3). , The operation of turning off the power switch 8 (the operation of turning off the power of the cooking cooker 1).

Further, the notification information transmitted from the communication device 30 by the information transmission processing unit 24 includes the first notification information in which transmission is determined according to the pre-abnormal operation non-operation time Ta, and the pre-abnormal operation non-operation time Ta. There is a second notification information in which transmission is determined according to the total time (= Ta + Tb) with the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality. Then, the information transmission processing unit 24 includes a first notification information transmission unit 24a that executes a process related to the transmission of the first notification information, and a second notification information transmission unit 24b that executes a process related to the transmission of the second notification information. including.

Next, the operation related to the occurrence of an abnormality in the cooking device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The control device 20 executes the processes shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 and 4 while the power of the cooking cooker 1 is turned on (the power switch 8 is turned on).

In STEP 1, the control device 20 monitors whether or not the ignition operation of any burner 3 (the operation of pressing the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3) has been performed. Then, when the ignition operation of any of the burners 3 is performed (when the determination result of STEP 1 becomes affirmative), the control device 20 executes the processes of STEP 2 to 7 by the first timing unit 22. In addition to executing the processing of the first timing unit 22, the control device 20 also executes an ignition processing for igniting the burner 3 on which the ignition operation has been performed to start the combustion operation of the burner 3.

In STEP2, the first timekeeping unit 22 starts the timekeeping of the non-operation time Ta before the abnormality. Further, the first time measuring unit 22 monitors whether or not any operation of the cooking cooker 1 is performed by the user in STEP 3 after the start of the time counting of the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality.

More specifically, in this STEP 3, for example, an ignition operation of another burner 3 in a fire extinguishing state (a push operation of an operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3), a thermal power adjustment operation of the burner 3 during a combustion operation (the burner). (Rotation operation of the operation button 7 corresponding to 3), fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3 during combustion operation (pressing operation of the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3), operation of the operation units 10 and 11, and to the cooking container. The operation of loading the ingredients is regarded as the operation to be monitored, and it is monitored whether or not any of these operations is performed.

In this case, the loading operation of the filling operation of the ingredients into the cooking container is detected based on, for example, a sudden drop in temperature detected by the temperature sensor 12 corresponding to the stove burner 3L or 3R or 3B during the combustion operation. obtain. For example, when the heating cooker 1 is provided with a sensor capable of detecting the cooking container placed on each of the stove burners 3L, 3R, 3B, the cooking container is based on the output of the sensor. Since the movement operation (movement such as shaking the pot) can be detected, the movement operation of the cooking container can be included in the operation to be monitored. Further, for example, when the cooking cooker 1 is provided with a sensor capable of detecting the opening / closing of the grill door 9, the opening / closing operation of the grill door 9 can be included in the operation to be monitored.

When these monitoring target operations are not performed, the determination result of STEP 3 becomes negative. In this case, the first timekeeping unit 22 further determines in STEP 6 whether or not the occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality (abnormality to be detected) is detected by the abnormality detecting unit 21 in the output of the abnormality detecting unit 21. Judgment is made based on the above, and if this judgment result is negative, the process from STEP 3 is repeated. In this case, the first timekeeping unit 22 advances the timekeeping of the pre-abnormal operation non-operation time Ta while repeatedly executing the determination processes of STEPs 3 and 6.

If any of the operations to be monitored is performed in the state where the determination processes of STEPs 3 and 6 are repeated (progress state of timekeeping of the operation time Ta before abnormality), the operation of STEP 3 is performed. The judgment result becomes positive. In this case, the first timekeeping unit 22 determines in STEP 4 whether or not all the burners 3 have been extinguished.

Here, if the fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3 is performed in STEP 3 in the combustion operation state of only one of the burners 3, the determination result of STEP 4 becomes positive. In this case, the control device 20 ends the processing of the first timing unit 22 and restarts the processing from STEP 1.

In STEP 4, when the combustion operation of one or more burners 3 is continued, the judgment result of STEP 4 becomes negative. In this case, the first timekeeping unit 22 resets (initializes to zero) the pre-abnormal operation non-operation time Ta in STEP 5, and then executes the process from STEP 2 again. As a result, the timekeeping (timekeeping from zero) of the non-operation time Ta before the abnormality is restarted again.

On the other hand, in a state where the determination processing of STEPs 3 and 6 is repeated as described above (progress state of timing of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality), the abnormality detection unit 21 generates a predetermined type of abnormality (abnormality of the detection target). Is detected, the determination result of STEP 6 becomes affirmative.

In this case, the first time measuring unit 22 ends the time counting of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta in STEP 7 (holds the time measuring value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta). When the abnormality detection unit 21 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, the control device 20 causes the operation control unit 25 to cut off the fuel supply to the burner 3 related to the generated abnormality as described above. The burner 3 is forcibly extinguished.

As described above, the first timekeeping unit 22 operates the cooking cooker 1 (the monitoring target) until the abnormality detecting unit 21 detects the occurrence of a predetermined type of abnormality during the combustion operation of any of the burners 3. The operation time Ta before the abnormality, which is the duration of the state in which the operation) is not performed, is measured.

Next, the control device 20 executes the processing of STEPs 8 to 13 by the first notification information transmission unit 24a of the information transmission processing unit 24.

In STEP 8, the first notification information transmission unit 24a sets the final time value of the non-operation time Ta before abnormality (the time value at the end of time measurement in STEP 7) to the first predetermined time T1 (for example, 0.5 hour). By comparison, it is determined whether or not the final time value of the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality is a time equal to or longer than the first predetermined time T1. The first predetermined time T1 corresponds to the first predetermined time A in the present invention.

When the determination result of STEP 8 is positive (Ta ≧ T1), the first notification information transmitting unit 24a further sets the final time value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta in STEP 9 to the second. Compared with the predetermined time T2, it is determined whether or not the measured value of the non-operation time Ta before the abnormality is the time equal to or longer than the second predetermined time T2. The second predetermined time T2 corresponds to the B predetermined time in the present invention, and is longer than the first predetermined time T1 in STEP 9 (for example, 1 hour).

If the determination result of STEP 10 is affirmative, it means that the final clock value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality is excessively long, so that the user operates the cooking cooker 1 (combustion of any burner 3). It is highly possible that you have already forgotten that you are doing (driving).

Therefore, in this case, the first notification information transmission unit 24a assumes that the first notification information regarding the occurrence of an abnormality should be notified to the person concerned of the user in STEP 10, and the first notification information is transmitted from the communication device 30 to the relation. The communication device 30 is operated so as to transmit the information to the person's external terminal 40 (or to the server). The first notification information transmitted in this case is, for example, information indicating the type of abnormality that has occurred, the date and time when the abnormality has occurred, and the final timed value (or the degree of the length thereof) of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta. Includes information, information to draw attention to users, etc.

The first notification information transmitted in this way is received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned. At this time, it is highly possible that the person concerned continues the operation while forgetting that the user is operating the cooking cooker 1 for an excessively long time from the received first notification information. Can be recognized. As a result, it is possible to promptly take countermeasures such as confirming the user's condition.

If the judgment result of STEP10 is negative, the final timed value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality is relatively long (to the extent that caution is required) (T1 <Ta <T2). If. In this case, the first notification information transmission unit 24a stores the abnormality information indicating the type of the abnormality that has occurred, the date and time when the abnormality has occurred, and the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality in STEP 11.

Further, in STEP 12, the information transmission processing unit 24 has a situation in which the final clock value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta becomes long enough to require attention within a predetermined period before the present (for example, within a period of 7 days). In (a situation where T1 <Ta <T2), the number of times Na in which the abnormality of the cooking device 1 occurs (hereinafter referred to as the first number of times Na) is calculated.

Then, in STEP 13, the first notification information transmission unit 24a compares the first number of times Na with the predetermined value N1, and whether or not the first number of times Na reaches the predetermined value N1 (whether or not Na ≧ N1). Or) is judged. When the judgment result of STEP 13 is affirmative (when Na ≧ N1), the final timed value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta becomes long enough to require attention (T1 <Ta <T2). It can be considered that the frequency of occurrence of the abnormality of the cooking device 1 is relatively high. Therefore, there is a possibility that the user is likely to forget that he / she is operating the cooking cooker 1.

Therefore, when the determination result of STEP 13 is affirmative, the first notification information transmitting unit 24a uses the first notification information regarding the occurrence of an abnormality in STEP 10 as in the case where the determination result of STEP 9 is affirmative. The communication device 30 is operated so as to transmit the first notification information from the communication device 30 to the external terminal 40 of the related party (or to the server).

The first notification information transmitted in this case is, for example, information indicating the type of each abnormality that occurred in the predetermined period, the date and time when the abnormality occurred, and the final pre-abnormal operation time Ta corresponding to each occurrence of the abnormality. It includes information indicating a timed value (or the degree of its length), information indicating the number of occurrences of an abnormality Na in the predetermined period, information for calling attention to a user, and the like.

The first notification information transmitted in this way is received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned. At this time, it is relatively frequent that the person concerned continues the operation while forgetting that the user is operating the cooking cooker 1 for a relatively long time from the received first notification information. It is possible to recognize that it is occurring in. As a result, it is possible to take countermeasures such as confirming the user's status.

On the other hand, when the determination result of STEP 8 is negative (Ta <T1), the final timed value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta is relatively short, so that it is relatively before the abnormality occurs. At a near point, operations such as thermal power adjustment operations are being performed.

If the determination result of STEP 13 is negative (Na <N1), the final timed value of the no-operation time Ta before abnormality becomes long enough to require attention (T1 <Ta <. Since the abnormality of the cooking device 1 occurs at a low frequency in the situation of T2), such an abnormality is unlikely to occur during normal operation of the cooking device 1.

Therefore, in these cases, the user normally recognizes that the cooking cooker 1 is in operation (during the combustion operation of any of the burners 3) (that the cooking cooker 1 is in operation). It is highly possible that the cooker 1 is being operated (without forgetting it).

Therefore, if the determination result of STEP 8 or STEP 13 is negative, the first notification information transmitting unit 24a does not need to notify the person concerned of the user of the first notification information regarding the occurrence of the abnormality. Do not execute the process.

As described above, in the information transmission processing unit 24, when an abnormality occurs in the cooking device 1 in a situation where the final time value of the non-operation time Ta before the abnormality becomes excessive (a situation where Ta ≧ T2), or , The number of occurrences of anomalies (first number Na) in a situation where the final timed value of the no-operation time Ta before an abnormality is long enough to require attention (a situation where T1 <Ta <T2) becomes a predetermined value N1. When it reaches, the first notification information that can be received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned is transmitted, while in other cases, the information transmission processing unit 24 does not transmit the first notification information.

The control device 20 executes the processing of the first notification information transmission unit 24a in STEPs 8 to 13 as described above, and then in STEP 14 shown in FIG. 4, the first notification information is transmitted by the first notification information transmission unit 24a. It is determined whether or not transmission has been performed (whether or not the process of STEP 10 has been executed).

If the determination result of STEP 14 is affirmative, the control device 20 omits the processing of STEP 15 to 23 described below. On the other hand, when the determination result of STEP 14 is negative (in other words, when the determination result of STEP 8 or STEP 13 is negative), the control device 20 then performs the second step of STEP 15 to 17. It is executed by the timing unit 23.

In STEP 15, the second timing unit 23 starts timing of the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality. The timekeeping of the no-operation time Tb after an abnormality may be started immediately after the determination result of STEP 6 becomes affirmative.

Further, the second time measuring unit 23 performs an abnormality response operation (fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3 (operation button 7 of the burner 3) related to the burner 3 in which the abnormality has occurred in STEP 16 after the start of the time counting of the non-operation time Tb after the abnormality. The process of determining whether or not the push operation) or the power switch 8 off operation) is sequentially executed until the abnormality response operation is performed. In this case, in the state where the abnormality response operation is not performed (the state in which the determination result of STEP 16 is negative), the time counting of the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality proceeds.

Then, when the determination result of STEP 16 becomes affirmative by performing the abnormality response operation regarding the burner 3 in which the abnormality has occurred, the second timing unit 23 ends the time counting of the post-abnormal operation non-operation time Tb in STEP 17 ( The timed value of the no-operation time Tb after an abnormality is maintained). After the abnormality handling operation for the burner 3 in which the abnormality has occurred is performed, the combustion operation of the burner 3 can be restarted by performing the ignition operation of the burner 3. When the power switch 8 is turned off as an abnormality response operation, more specifically, the power switch 8 is turned on again, and the operation button 7 corresponding to the burner 3 in which the abnormality has occurred is further executed. By performing the pressing operation (fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3) and then performing the ignition operation of the burner 3 again, it is possible to restart the combustion operation of the burner 3.

As described above, the second timing unit 23 is in a state where the abnormality response operation is not performed until the abnormality response operation is performed for the burner 3 in which the abnormality has occurred (the burner 3 forcibly extinguished the fire). The no-operation time Tb is measured after the abnormality.

Next, the control device 20 executes the processing of STEP 18 to 23 by the second notification information transmission unit 24b of the information transmission processing unit 24.

In STEP 18, the second notification information transmission unit 24b has the final time value of the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality (the time value at the end of the time measurement in STEP 7) and the final time value of the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality (STEP 16). The total time (Ta + Tb) with the timed value at the end of the timekeeping in is compared with the third predetermined time T3 (for example, 0.5 hour), and the total time (Ta + Tb) is the time of the third predetermined time T3 or more. Determine if it exists. The third predetermined time T3 corresponds to the C predetermined time in the present invention. In the present embodiment, the third predetermined time T3 is the same length as the first predetermined time T1, but may be a time different from T1.

If the determination result of STEP 18 is affirmative, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b further compares the total time (Ta + Tb) with the fourth predetermined time T4 in STEP 19, and the total time (Ta + Tb) is the second. 4 Determine whether or not the predetermined time is T4 or longer. The fourth predetermined time T4 corresponds to the D predetermined time in the present invention, and is longer than the third predetermined time T3 in STEP 18 (for example, 1 hour). In the present embodiment, the fourth predetermined time T4 is the same length as the second predetermined time T2, but may be different from T2.

If the determination result of STEP 19 is affirmative, the final timed value of the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality is not so long (in the present embodiment, it is at least shorter than the second predetermined time T2), but before the abnormality. This is a case where the total time (Ta + Tb) of the final timed value of the no-operation time Ta and the final timed value of the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality is excessively long. For this reason, the user forgets that the cooking cooker 1 (burning operation of any burner 3) has been operated from a relatively short time before the abnormality occurs (for example, immediately before the abnormality occurs). It is highly possible that the cooker 1 has been separated from the cooker 1 and, by extension, has not noticed that the burner 3 has been forcibly extinguished due to the occurrence of an abnormality.

Therefore, in this case, the second notification information transmission unit 24b assumes that the second notification information regarding the occurrence of an abnormality should be notified to the person concerned of the user in STEP 20, and the second notification information is transmitted from the communication device 30 to the relation. The communication device 30 is operated so as to transmit the information to the person's external terminal 40 (or to the server).

The second notification information transmitted in this case is, for example, information indicating the type of abnormality that has occurred and the date and time when the abnormality has occurred, information indicating the value of the total time (Ta + Tb) (or the degree of the length thereof), and caution for the user. Includes information, etc. to arouse the concerned parties.

The second notification information transmitted in this way is received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned. In this case, the first notification information is not transmitted because the pre-abnormal operation time Ta is short (shorter than the first predetermined time T1), or the pre-abnormal operation time Ta is relatively long (the situation). Even if the first notification information is not transmitted because the frequency of occurrence of T1 <Ta <T2) is low, the total time (Ta + Tb) is excessively long (longer than the fourth predetermined time T4). In addition, the related party can receive the second notification information via the external terminal 40.

Then, from the second notification information received, the person concerned forgets that the user was operating the cooking cooker 1 even before the occurrence of the abnormality, and the cooking cooker 1 is used for an excessively long time. It can be recognized that it is highly likely that the occurrence of the abnormality is not noticed. As a result, it is possible to promptly take countermeasures such as confirming the user's condition.

If the determination result of STEP 19 is negative, it means that the total time (Ta + Tb) is relatively long (to the extent that caution is required) (T3 <Ta + Tb <T4). In this case, the second notification information transmission unit 24b stores the abnormality information indicating the type of the abnormality that has occurred, the date and time when the abnormality has occurred, and the total time (Ta + Tb) in STEP21.

Further, in STEP 22, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b has a situation in which the total time (Ta + Tb) becomes long enough to require attention (T3 <Ta + Tb < The number of times Nb (hereinafter referred to as the second number of times Nb) in which the situation of T4 occurs) is calculated.

Then, in STEP23, the second notification information transmission unit 24b compares the second number of times Nb with the predetermined value N2, and whether or not the second number of times Nb reaches the predetermined value N2 (whether or not Nb ≧ N2). Or) is judged. When the judgment result of STEP23 is affirmative (when Nb ≧ N2), the total time (Ta + Tb) becomes long enough to require attention (T3 <Ta + Tb <T4), and the frequency is relatively high. Can be regarded. For this reason, it is relatively difficult for the user to forget that the cooking cooker 1 was being operated (combustion operation of any of the burners 3), and the burner 3 was forcibly extinguished due to the occurrence of an abnormality. It is highly possible that a situation in which the cooker 1 is not noticed for a long time (a situation in which the cooker 1 is forgotten to operate for a relatively long time before and after the occurrence of an abnormality in the cooker 1) is likely to occur.

Therefore, when the determination result of STEP 23 is affirmative, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b uses the second notification information regarding the occurrence of an abnormality in STEP 20 as in the case where the determination result of STEP 19 is affirmative. The communication device 30 is operated so as to transmit the second notification information from the communication device 30 to the external terminal 40 of the related party (or to the server). The second notification information transmitted in this case is, for example, information indicating the type of each abnormality that occurred in the predetermined period in STEP 22 and the date and time when the abnormality occurred, and the value of the total time (Ta + Tb) corresponding to each occurrence of the abnormality (Ta + Tb). It also includes information indicating (or the degree of the length thereof), information indicating the number of occurrences of abnormalities Nb within the predetermined period, information for calling attention to the user, and the like.

The second notification information transmitted in this way is received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned. In this case, the first notification information is not transmitted because the pre-abnormal operation time Ta is short (shorter than the first predetermined time T1), or the pre-abnormal operation time Ta is relatively long (the situation). Even if the first notification information is not transmitted because the frequency of occurrence of T1 <Ta <T2) is low, the total time (Ta + Tb) is relatively long (T3 <Ta + Tb <T4). Since the frequency of occurrence of the situation is high, the related party can receive the second notification information via the external terminal 40.

Then, from the second notification information received, the person concerned forgets that the user was operating the cooking cooker 1 even before the occurrence of the abnormality, and the cooking cooker 1 is used for a relatively long time. It can be recognized that it is easy to be unaware of the occurrence of an abnormality. As a result, it is possible to take countermeasures such as confirming the user's status.

On the other hand, when the determination result of STEP 18 is negative (Ta + Tb <T3), the total time (Ta + Tb) is relatively short, so that the no-operation time Ta before abnormality is relatively short (at least the first). (2) It is shorter than the predetermined time T2), and the abnormality response operation regarding the burner 3 forcibly extinguished due to the occurrence of the abnormality is performed at a relatively early time after the occurrence of the abnormality.

Further, when the judgment result of STEP23 is negative (Nb <N2), a situation (a situation where T3 <Ta + Tb <T4) occurs in which the total time (Ta + Tb) is long enough to require attention. Since the frequency is low, such a situation is unlikely to occur during normal operation of the cooker 1 by the user.

Therefore, in these cases, the user can operate the cooking cooker 1 in a period before and after the combustion operation of any burner 3 of the cooking cooker 1 is forcibly stopped due to the occurrence of an abnormality. There is a high possibility that the state can be recognized normally.

Therefore, if the determination result of STEP 18 or STEP 23 is negative, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b does not need to notify the person concerned of the user of the second notification information regarding the occurrence of the abnormality. Do not execute the process.

As described above, in the second notification information transmission unit 24b, when a situation occurs in which the total time (Ta + Tb) becomes excessive (a situation in which Ta + Tb ≧ T4), or the total time (Ta + Tb) is long enough to require attention. When the number of occurrences (second number Nb) of the situation (the situation where T3 <Ta + Tb <T4) reaches the predetermined value N2, the second notification information that can be received by the external terminal 40 of the person concerned is transmitted. On the other hand, in cases other than these, the second notification information transmission unit 24b does not transmit the second notification information.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the control device 20 has a non-operation time Ta before the abnormality when an abnormality occurs during the operation of the cooking cooker 1 and the combustion operation of the burner 3 is forcibly stopped. Or, only when the total time (Ta + Tb) is excessively long, or when the frequency of occurrence of the situation where the pre-abnormal operation time Ta or the total time (Ta + Tb) becomes long to some extent is high, the first notification information to the user concerned. Alternatively, the second notification information is notified.

Therefore, in a situation where there is a high need for the user to easily forget to operate the cooking cooker 1, it is possible to notify the user's related parties of the occurrence of an abnormality, and the notification is excessively frequent. It can be prevented from being done in.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, only a part of the processing of the control device 20 is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the matters different from those of the first embodiment will be mainly described and the same as those of the first embodiment. The explanation of the matter is omitted.

In the present embodiment, after the control device 20 executes the process of FIG. 3 described in the first embodiment, in STEP 14 shown in FIG. 5, the first notification information transmission unit 24a is used as in the first embodiment. 1 It is determined whether or not the notification information has been transmitted (whether or not the process of STEP 10 has been executed).

If the determination result of STEP 14 is affirmative, the control device 20 omits the processes of STEP 15 to 18 and 20 to 24 shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the determination result of STEP 14 is negative (in other words, when the determination result of STEP 8 or STEP 13 is negative), the control device 20 then performs the processes of STEP 15 to 17, 24. It is executed by the second timekeeping unit 23. In this case, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the second timing unit 23 starts timing the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality in STEP 15, and then responds to the abnormality regarding the burner 3 in which the abnormality occurs in STEP 16. A process of determining whether or not an operation (a fire extinguishing operation of the burner 3 or an operation of turning off the power switch 8) has been performed is executed.

Then, when the determination result of STEP 16 is negative, the second time measuring unit 23 sets the final time value of the pre-abnormal operation time Ta and the time value of the post-abnormal operation time Tb in STEP 24. It is determined whether or not the total time (Ta + Tb) has reached the fourth predetermined time T4, and if the determination result is negative (Ta + Tb <T4), the process from STEP 16 is repeated.

Therefore, in the second timing unit 23, the no-operation time Tb after the abnormality is reached until the determination result of STEP 16 becomes affirmative due to the abnormality response operation or the total time (Ta + Tb) reaches the fourth predetermined time T4. Advance timekeeping.

When the total time (Ta + Tb) reaches the fourth predetermined time T4 (when the determination result of STEP 24 becomes affirmative) without performing the abnormality response operation, the control device 20 immediately sets the second of the information transmission processing unit 24. The notification information transmission unit 24b executes the process of STEP 20 described in the first embodiment (process of transmitting the second notification information to (or to the server) the external terminal 40 of the person concerned).

Further, if the abnormality response operation is performed before the total time (Ta + Tb) reaches the fourth predetermined time T4 (when the determination result of STEP 16 becomes affirmative), the control device 20 sends the second notification information. The transmission unit 24b executes the processes of STEP18, 21, 22, 23, 20. In this case, in STEP 18, the second notification information transmission unit 24b determines whether or not the total time (Ta + Tb) is the third predetermined time T3 or more, as in the first embodiment. Then, when the determination result of STEP 18 is affirmative (when Ta + Tb ≧ T3), the second notification information transmitting unit 24b executes the processes of STEP 21 to 23 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and performs the processing of STEP 23 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. When the determination result becomes affirmative (when Nb ≧ N2), the process of STEP 20 (the process of transmitting the second notification information to the external terminal 40 of the person concerned (or to the server)) is executed.

Further, the second notification information transmitting unit 24b has a negative determination result in STEP 18 (Ta + Tb <T3) or a negative determination result in STEP 23 (Nb <N2). In, the process of STEP 20 is not executed because it is not necessary to notify the person concerned of the user of the second notification information as in the first embodiment.

Also in this embodiment, when an abnormality occurs during the operation of the cooking cooker 1 and the combustion operation of the burner 3 is forcibly stopped, the control device 20 has no operation time Ta or total time before the abnormality. Only when (Ta + Tb) is excessively long, or when the frequency of occurrence of the situation where the pre-abnormal operation time Ta or the total time (Ta + Tb) becomes long to some extent is high, the first notification information or the second notification information or the second Notification information is notified.

Therefore, in a situation where there is a high need for the user to easily forget to operate the cooking cooker 1, it is possible to notify the user's related parties of the occurrence of an abnormality, and the notification is excessively frequent. It can be prevented from being done in.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second notification information is transmitted immediately when the total time (Ta + Tb) reaches the fourth predetermined time T4, so that the second notification information can be promptly notified to the persons concerned. can.

[About other embodiments]

When the corresponding operation is performed), the process of FIG. 5 may be terminated without transmitting the second notification information. In this case, the fourth predetermined time T4 in STEP 23 corresponds to the C predetermined time in the present invention.

Alternatively, for example, in STEP 24 of the process of FIG. 5, when the total time (Ta + Tb) is compared with the third predetermined time T3 instead of the fourth predetermined time T4, and Ta + Tb ≧ T3, from STEP 21. In addition to executing the processing, the processing from STEP 16 is executed when Ta + Tb <T3, and further, when the judgment result of STEP 16 is positive (before Ta + Tb ≧ T3, the abnormality corresponding to the occurrence occurs). When the operation is performed), the process of FIG. 5 may be terminated.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the first predetermined time T1 and the second predetermined time T2 to be compared with the timed value of the no-operation time Ta before the abnormality, or the predetermined value N1 to be compared with the first number of times Na is generated, for example. The value set for each type of abnormality may be used. This also applies to the third predetermined time T3 and the fourth predetermined time T4 to be compared with the total time (Ta + Tb), or the predetermined value N2 to be compared with the second number of times Nb.
