Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The purpose of this invention is to prevent the cooking from losing sales by emitting a notification sound when the timer is set on the cooker, so that the presence or absence of the timer setting is recognized by emitting a notification sound when the cooking operation starts. It concerns a cooking device with a

Conventionally, when using a cooker such as an electric pot, when you want to set the timer to a desired time, you press the rice cooking switch according to the setting scale of the timer setting time to start timer cooking. There was a drawback that if you forgot to press the start switch, you could not start the timer operation.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its object is to provide a cooker that prevents the user from forgetting to press the start switch to start the cooking operation. In order to achieve this purpose, the output supplied to the notification device is a control element that has a correlation between the timer setting time and the notification sound of the start of operation, so that when the start switch is pressed at the start of cooking, the notification will always sound. This provides a cooking device that notifies you of the start of cooking.

An electric kettle will be described below as an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a control element, which has electric power,
It controls signals such as time and temperature. For example, it has an output that correlates the timer setting time and the alarm sound of the start of operation and supplies it to the alarm device. It has built-in memory. Reference numeral 2 denotes a notification device which has a sound function to notify the start of rice cooking via the control element 1 when the start switch 4 is operated. 3
is a timer setting switch that allows you to set the timer to cook rice at the desired time. Reference numeral 5 denotes a power control device which controls the supply of electricity to the heating heater 6 for heating the rice via a signal from a control element. 7 is a heat sensitive element that detects the temperature inside the inner pot (not shown) and inputs a signal to the control element 1 to indicate the end of rice cooking when this temperature reaches a certain temperature;
Moreover, it is for moving to the next unevenness process.

The function of the present invention will be described.

When cooking rice on a timer as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, set the timer setting switch 3 to the desired timer setting time and press the start switch 4.
A signal is output from the control element 1 to the notification device 2, a notification sound is sounded twice as shown in FIG. 3, and timer cooking starts. Also, when starting rice cooking other than when the timer is activated, a notification sound will sound only once as shown in Figure 2, and the rice will start cooking.
When the set timer setting time is reached, control element 1
A control signal is output from the power control device 5, and power supply control to the heater 6 starts via the power control device 5. When the heat-sensitive element 7 reaches the operating temperature at the end of rice cooking and a rice cooking end signal is input to the control element 1, the process starts from rice cooking to shading. In this way, when rice cooking is started, the notification sound is made smooth, and in the case of timer rice cooking, the rice cooking start switch 4 is not pressed in order to distinguish the number of notification sounds.

According to the present invention, by using a control element that correlates the output supplied to the notification device with the timer setting time and the notification sound of the start of operation, it is possible to avoid forgetting to press the rice cooking switch, and it is possible to avoid timer cooking and normal rice cooking. It is possible to prevent mistakes when cooking rice, and it is possible to provide an easy-to-use cooking device. The same effect can be obtained by changing the frequency, notification time, tone color, etc. in addition to the number of notification sounds.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Fig. 1 is a control block diagram of a cooking device showing an embodiment of the present invention, and Figs. 2 and 3 show examples of waveforms of notification sounds indicating the start of cooking in the case of normal rice cooking and in the case of timer rice cooking. It is a diagram. 1...Control element, 2...Notification device, 3...Timer setting switch, 4...Start switch.

Claims (1)
