Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain a brown state acknowledging capability by a method wherein a heater for brown color to a feed has a function of lamp, its heating element is sealed with a crystallization heat-resistant glass, its glass surface is colored so as to mainly pass a visible light of a specified wave length. CONSTITUTION:A food 2 is placed within a heating chamber 1. When a power supply is turned ON, a heater device 6 having a function of lamp is lit and a visible light and infra-red rays irradiate the surface of the food 2. The heater device 6 is of a device in which a heater element 7 is sealed with a crystalliza tion heat-resistant glass tube 8 provided with a colored layer 9 and mainly a light of specified wave length of blue to green of the visible light radiated from the heater element 7 is passed. Reflected light from the surface of the food 2 is decreased as a browning progresses, and since in particular the speci fied wave-length of blue to green is absorbed, so that a brown color of the food is positively caught through a light receiving sensor 13 under an effect of filter of the colored layer 9. Since a surface temperature of the heater device 6 is 600 to 800 deg.C, a part of the food 2 dispersed and adhered during cooking operation is burned and lost so as not to prohibit a transmittance of a visible light.

An oven window 4 made of heat-resistant glass is attached to a part of the oven so that the inside of the oven can be viewed. A heat generating device 6 is provided above and below inside the oven chamber 1, and this heat generating device 6 has a heat generating element 7 made of a tungsten filament sealed with a heat resistant glass tube 8. This heat-resistant glass tube 8 is made of crystalline quartz glass, which has good light transmittance and avoids devitrification due to heating. Further, a colored layer 9 is provided on the inner or outer surface of the heat-resistant glass tube 8 so that light of a specific wavelength among the visible light emitted from the heating element 7 is mainly transmitted. IO is a light receiving window, and an optical rod 11 is provided behind it. This optical rod 11 is made of a heat-resistant glass material or a heat-resistant acrylic resin.

Figure 2 shows the reflectance when food 2 is heated and has a burnt color, and the change in reflectance before heating.In Niko, we actually measured the reflected light intensity after grilling sliced bread. However, when bread burns, the reflected light intensity decreases, especially at wavelengths of 400 to 600 nm. This indicates that it absorbs visible light from blue to green.

A part of the visible light is reflected and an optical rod 1 is attached to the back of the light receiving window 10 that is opened in the upper part of the oven casing 1.
1 and reaches the light receiving sensor 13 via the light transmitting body 12. Furthermore, the control device 14 captures the intensity of the light as an output signal, converts it into a digital signal, uses it as an output value, and stores it in the microcomputer as a maximum value at a certain point from the beginning to the middle of the heating period. As the heating time progresses, the surface of the food 2 begins to burn, and the reflected light intensity decreases. At this time, the comparison is made with the maximum value mentioned above, and when the preset comparison value is reached, the cooking has been performed satisfactorily, so the relay is activated by a command from the microcomputer of the control device 14. Then, the power supply to the heat generating device 6 is turned off. The reflected light from the surface of food 2 decreases as the burn progresses, but
In particular, specific wavelengths from blue to green are absorbed. In order to increase the absorption efficiency, the filter effect of the colored layer 9 applied to the surface of the heat generating device 6 irradiates more specific wavelengths of blue to green, making it possible to accurately capture the burnt color of food. can. Since the heating device 6 is installed directly above the food, the intensity of the visible light that irradiates the food is strong, and the oven window 4 can reduce the influence of external light incident on the food.At the same time, the surface temperature of the heating device 6 is 600° ~800℃
Therefore, part of the food 2 that scatters and adheres during cooking is burned away, and visible light can always pass through.

When non-crystalline quartz glass is used for the heat-resistant glass tube 8, free sodium ions are generated when the seasonings contained in the food 2, especially glutamine, are attached and burnt out, resulting in high temperatures. A solid solution reaction occurs with heated quartz glass, causing devitrification of the quartz glass, resulting in a significant decrease in mechanical strength and a tendency to crack. To prevent this, crystallize it in advance so that solid solution reaction with sodium ions does not occur.

Even if the food scatters and adheres to the food during heating, it will be heated at high temperatures and burnt out, and its performance as a means of visible light illumination will not deteriorate, and the action of sodium ions contained in the food will prevent devitrification and mechanical strength. Further, since the inner or outer surface of the crystallized heat-resistant glass is provided with a colored layer that transmits a specific wavelength of visible light, it has the effect that an optical sensor for detecting burnt spots can operate accurately.
