Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable bad workmanship or the other nonconformity of bread to be eliminated, even if bread-making is interrupted, by mistake, by means of a canceling means after the starting of bread-making, by restarting bread-making by twice inputting a signal by means of a start means, so that bread-making can be immediately restarted from the next condition by the action of a halfway process storing means. CONSTITUTION:When bread materials are put in the inside of a vessel 1 and then bread-making is started by a starting means 5, a control means 6 controls a kneading means 2 and a heating means 3 in response to the output of a temperature detecting means 4 for carrying out bread-making. If bread-making is started by mistake, a canceling means 7 outputs a signal to the control means to stop bread-making. Then, a halfway process storing means 8 stores the condition at the time of bread-making process in the control means. It is so constituted that, at that time, if a signal is twice input by the starting means, the bread-making process in the control means is restarted from the above stored condition. Thus, even if bread-making is interrupted by mistake after the starting of bread-making, when a signal is twice input by the starting means, bread-making can be restarted from this condition by the action of the haflway process storing means.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application Page 2 The present invention relates to an automatic bread maker for general household use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, automatic bread making machines called home bakeries have gained popularity in the market. An example of the operating section of this conventional automatic bread maker is shown in FIG. 11 is a start key, and the user presses this key switch when starting bread making. 1
2 is the cancel key, and this cancel key 12 is the bread making 9
This cancel key 12 can be used if the operation is stopped during operation or if the conditions are set incorrectly with the timer set key 13, etc.
It is now possible to cancel the operation.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above conventional automatic bread making machine, after the user presses the start key 11 to start bread making, there are cases where the user accidentally presses the cancel key 12 some time later, or when a child presses the cancel key 12. If the user accidentally presses the cancel key 12, the bread making process will stop halfway.

3.

In such a situation, even if the start key 11 is pressed immediately, the conventional automatic bread maker will start making bread from the beginning again, making it impossible to make satisfactory bread, which is very inconvenient.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic bread maker capable of solving the above-mentioned conventional problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the automatic bread maker of the present invention has a feature that allows the user to stop bread making in response to a canceling means for stopping bread making during bread making. It has an intermediate process storage means for storing the state at the time, and a start means for the user to start bread making, and when the start means is input twice, the process starts from the state stored in the intermediate process storage means. It is designed to restart bread making.

Operation According to the above configuration, even if the user accidentally stops bread making using the canceling means after starting bread making using the start means, if the user restarts bread making by inputting twice using the start means, Since the intermediate process storage means stores the state stopped by the canceling means, bread making can be restarted from this state.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an automatic bread maker according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a container in which bread ingredients are stored. Reference numeral 2 denotes a kneading means for kneading the bread ingredients in the container 1.

A heating means 3 heats the bread ingredients by heating the container 1. Reference numeral 4 denotes a temperature detection means, which detects the temperature of the bread ingredients by detecting the temperature of the container 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a start means, which is used when the user starts making bread. Reference numeral 6 denotes a control means, and when the user starts making bread by the output of the start means 5, the control means 6 detects the temperature of the temperature detection means 4.
5.-1 Bread is made by controlling the kneading means 2 and heating means 3 according to the output.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a canceling means, which outputs an output to the control means 0 to stop bread making when the start means 5 accidentally starts bread making.

This is used, for example, when you start without adding bread ingredients. Reference numeral 8 denotes an intermediate process storage means, and when bread making is stopped by the canceling means Y after the bread making is started by the start means 5 and before the bread making is completed, the intermediate process storing means 8 is used to store the information of the control means 6. It stores the state at that point in the bread making process. Here, when the start means 5 inputs twice, the bread making process of the control means 6 is restarted from the state stored in the intermediate state storage means 8.

FIG. 2 shows the operating section of an automatic bread maker in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2(a) shows the entire operating section,
21 is a display liquid crystal display element (hereinafter referred to as LCD); 22
is a part of starting means 6, 6be.

The start key 23 is a cancellation key that is part of the cancellation means. When the user wants to start making bread, he/she only has to press the start key 22, and then the LCD 2
1 is displayed as shown in FIGS. 2(b) and 2(c). If the cancel key 23 is pressed by mistake after the start, for example, if the cancel is canceled 1 hour and 46 minutes after the start, the display disappears as shown in FIG. 2 (-). If you press the start key 22 once, the display will appear as shown in Figure 2 (0)), but if you immediately press the start key 22 again, the display will appear as shown in Figure 2 (C). Bread making can be started again from the state stored by the intermediate state storage means 8.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, according to the present invention, even if the user accidentally stops bread making using the canceling means after starting bread making using the start means, When the process is restarted by inputting twice using the start means, the intermediate process storage means remembers the state stopped by the cancel means, so it can be restarted immediately from the continued state, and as a result, It is possible to solve problems such as the bread being unfinished and having to take out only the bread dough and bake it in another oven.
