There is a problem in that the user is annoyed by the difference in the setting procedure of cooking. The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to improve the operability of key operation for cooking setting.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cooking menu selection key for selecting a cooking menu, a numeric key for setting the weight or cooking time of food, and contents set by the numeric key. Input means having a changeable input content change key, cooking setting means for selecting and selecting a plurality of predetermined cooking modes by inputting an output signal from the input means, and a cooking start instruction for instructing the start of cooking Means, heating time measuring means for counting cooking heating time, display means for displaying a set cooking menu, cooking time, etc., high frequency heating means for heating food using high frequency and heating using electric heating device A heating means including an electric heating device heating means, a load control means for controlling the heating means, an input from the cooking setting means, and the cooking start instruction means. The heating time measuring means as a signal input, the control means for sending a signal to the display means and the load control means, the input means selects a cooking menu by the cooking menu selection key, food by the number keys After inputting the type, the number solving key can be changed to the setting of the food weight or the setting of the cooking time by operating the input content change key.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the operation for setting the cooking for thawing and the operation for setting the cooking for heating by using the electric heating device can be unified by the above means for solving the problems, and the operability is improved. Can be improved.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

As shown in the figure, a door 2 is provided on the front surface of the main body 1.
A display tube 3 and a key operation unit 4 are provided, and a heating chamber 5 for containing food is provided inside. The input means 6 has a cooking menu selection key 7, a numeric key 8 and an input content change key 9, and the cooking setting means 10 for selecting and selecting a plurality of cooking modes whose output signals are predetermined.
To enter. In the cooking setting means 10, when performing cooking for defrosting, first, the defrosting cooking setting key 11 which is one of the cooking menu selection keys 7 in the key operation unit 4 is operated, and the numerical key 8 is operated for the cooking menu. Then, the input content change key 9 is operated to change the input content of the number key 8 into weight, and the weight of the food is set by operating the number key 8. When cooking is performed using an electric heating device, the electric heating setting key 12, which is one of the cooking menu selection keys 7 in the key operation unit 4, is operated, and the numerical key 8 is operated for the cooking menu. The cooking time is set by operating the input content change key 9 and the numeric key 8 for selection.
When cooking for defrosting, the cooking menu and the weight of the food are set. When cooking for heating using an electric heating device, the cooking menu and the cooking time are set. In response to a signal from a certain start key 13, the control means 14 connects and disconnects the relay 15 which is the load control means, and thereby the magnetron 16 which is a heating means for heating using high frequency or a heating means for heating using an electric heating device. A certain heater 17 operates to heat the object to be heated. In addition, in the cooking for thawing, the cooking time is calculated by the heating time measuring means 18 from the set weight of the food. During cooking, the cooking time is counted by the heating time measuring means 18. The display tube 3 displays the cooking mode, the cooking time, etc., and these are performed by the control means 13. The cooking setting means 10, the control means 14 and the heating time measuring means 18 can be constituted by a microcomputer.

As described above, according to the high frequency heating apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention, the operation for setting the cooking for thawing and the operation for setting the cooking for heating using the electric heating device are performed as follows. The operation procedure is the same except for the first selection of the cooking menu selection key 7, that is, the difference between the defrosting cooking setting key 11 and the electric heating cooking setting key 12, and the operating procedure for these two cooking settings can be unified. It is possible to improve the property.

[0009]

As is apparent from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, the input means selects the cooking menu with the cooking menu selection key, inputs the food type with the numeric keys, and then uses the input content change key. Since it is possible to change to the setting of the weight of the food or the setting of the cooking time of the number keys by the operation, when setting the cooking for defrosting and setting the cooking for heating using the electric heating device The operation of can be unified, and the operability can be improved.
