Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a bread maker that can automatically bake bread simply by adding bread ingredients.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, bread making machines have become popular, which automatically bake bread when bread ingredients are placed in a container and the machine is started. Moreover,
There is a demand for a bread maker that can bake not only white bread but also a variety of breads such as French bread and soft-skinned commercially available bread.

With conventional bread machines, these various bread menus are often confused with courses, which are bread making methods that involve baking the bread to the end or stopping the bread making process in the middle of the bread making process to make the dough. , the user was allowed to choose.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional bread making machines, the menu, which is the type of bread, and the course, which is how to make bread, are confused, and furthermore, the timer is set depending on each bread menu and course. In order to use the device, the user was forced to perform complicated operations.

The object of the present invention is to provide a bread making machine that solves these problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the bread making machine of the present invention comprises a container for storing bread ingredients, a heating means for heating the container, and a kneading means for kneading the bread ingredients. a bread means, a temperature detection means for detecting the temperature of the container, a loaf of bread;
A menu input means for inputting a menu for a given type of bread, such as French bread, and how to make bread, such as the color of the bread, whether to bake the bread, or whether to stop in the middle of bread making to make bread dough. A course input means for inputting a course and a timer for bread making,
a timer input means for inputting a timer time; a menu storage means for storing the menu outputted by the menu inputting means; a course storage means for storing the course outputted by the course inputting means; and the timer. timer storage means for storing the timer time outputted by the input means; course initialization means for initializing the course storage means in response to the output of the menu input means; the menu input means; and the course input means. a timer initializing means for initializing the timer storage means in response to an output from the means; a start means for starting bread making; Depending on the output of
The apparatus includes a control means for controlling the bread making means according to the output of the temperature detection means, and a display means for receiving the output of the control means and displaying the current menu, course, and remaining cooking time. be.

Effects (According to M-Sei), menus, courses, and timers are set so that the menu, which is the type of bread, and the course, which is how the bread is made, can be input separately, and the course that corresponds to each bread is input. Since the inputs are prioritized in the order of , the user can easily make bread according to their wishes.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a bread making machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. This bread making means consists of a motor for kneading ingredients and a kneading means composed of blades and the like. Reference numeral 2 denotes a temperature detection means for detecting the temperature of the container, and controls the motor and heater based on the detected temperature. 3 is French bread? 4 is a menu input means for selecting a menu that is a type of bread such as white bread, and 4 is a course for selecting a bread making course such as changing the baking color of bread or stopping bread making before baking. It is an input means.

5 is a timer input means for setting a timer time when performing timer bread making; 6 is a menu storage means for storing the menu selected by the menu input means 3; and 7 is a timer input means for storing the menu selected by the course input means 4. A course storage means 8 is a timer input means for storing the timer time set by the timer input means 6.

9 is a menu input means 3, which initializes the course stored in the course storage means 7 when a new menu is selected; 10 is a menu input means 3;
11 is a course initializing means for initializing the course stored in the timer storage means 8 when a new menu is selected at , or when a new course is selected at the course input means 4; This is a starting means to do so.

12 is a control means, and this control means 12 stores menus and courses stored in the menu storage means 6, the course storage means 7, and the timer storage means 8.

In the bread making process according to the timer, the heater and motor of the bread making means 1 are controlled by the input of the temperature detection means 20. 13 is a display means for displaying the menu, course, and remaining cooking time at that time.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the bread mold making machine in one embodiment of the present invention, and the operation will be explained based on this flowchart.

First, in step 21, the menu, course, and timer are initialized. The menu and courses are the 1st in each.
The th menu and course are stored in the menu storage means 6 and the course storage means 7.

In step 22, it is determined whether a menu has been input by the menu input means 3, and if a menu has been input, the process proceeds to steps 23, 24, and 25. At this time, if the course or timer is other than the initial setting, it is initialized in steps 24 and 26, respectively.

In step 26, it is determined whether a course has been input by the course input means 4, and if a course has been input, the process proceeds to steps 27 and 28. At this time, if the timer is other than the initial setting, it is initialized in step 28. In steps 29 and 30, the timer time is input.

In step 31, the input of the start means 11 is determined,
If there is an input, bread is made in step 32, whereas if there is no input, the process returns to step 22 to accept menu, course, and timer settings.

In other words, if the user first sets a course and then changes the menu, the previously selected course will be initialized so that the course that matches the changed menu will be correctly selected. be.

Also, regarding the timer time, when a menu or course is entered, the previously set timer time is initialized so that the timer time that matches the menu or course is selected correctly. .

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, according to the present invention, various bread-making menus, bread-making courses, or timer bread-making can be correctly realized with simple operations.
