Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cooking device.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional cooking device, even if an arbitrary cooking menu is selected, a reservation time can be set anytime before cooking starts.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional cooker, when a plurality of cooking menus such as egg cooking that cannot be left for a long time is set, a cooking time is deteriorated when a reserved time for starting or completing cooking is set. Therefore, it is necessary to select the cooking menu again or not to set the reserved time, and thus the operability is poor.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooker that solves such problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a cooking device of the present invention is a cooking device for setting a reservation time for starting or completing cooking, and a menu for selecting an arbitrary cooking menu from a plurality of cooking menus. When the selection means, the storage means for storing the cooking menu that cannot be left for a long time, and the cooking menu selected by the menu selection means are the cooking menus stored in the storage means, the reservation time is reserved by the reservation means. The selection means for invalidating even if the setting is performed, and the cooking means for performing the cooking by the output of the selection means and the menu selection means are provided.

Action With the above configuration, when the menu selection means selects a cooking menu that cannot be left for a long time among the plurality of cooking menus, the selection means that invalidates even if the reservation time is set by the reservation means. If the reservation means cannot set the reservation time and the menu selection means selects a cooking menu that can be left for a long time, the reservation means can set the reservation time and cook. is there.

Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a rice cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a reservation means for setting a reserved time for starting or completing cooking, and 2 is a plurality of cooking menus. Among them, menu selection means for selecting an arbitrary cooking menu, 3 is storage means for storing a cooking menu that cannot be left for a long time, and 4 is the storage means 3 for storing the cooking menu selected by the menu selection means 2. When the cooking menu is a cooking menu, the selecting means 5 for invalidating the reserved time even if the reserved time is set by the reservation means 1 includes the selecting means 4 and the menu selecting means 2.
It is a cooking means for cooking by the output of.

FIG. 2 shows a concrete circuit diagram of a rice cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, 11 is a start switch for starting rice cooking and reserved rice, and 12 is a reserved start time of rice cooking. Reserved time setting switch for setting, 13 is the first menu switch for setting the white rice menu, 14 is the second menu switch for setting the cooked and cooked rice menu, 15 is the third for setting the menu for chawanmushi Menu switch, 16 is a heater for heating food, 17 is a relay for energizing the heater 16,
Reference numeral 18 is a relay drive unit for driving the relay 17, 19 is a start switch 11, a reservation time setting switch 12, a first menu switch 13, a second menu switch 14 and a third menu switch 15 signals. An input unit for inputting, 20 is an output unit for opening and closing the contact 17a of the relay 17 to energize the heater 16, 21 is a control unit for controlling the output unit 20 by a signal input from the input unit 19, Reference numeral 22 is a microcomputer including the input unit 19, the output unit 20 and the control unit 21.

FIG. 3 shows a main part of a flow chart of the microcomputer 22, and the operation will be described based on this flow chart.

First, in step 1, it is determined whether or not "tea roam" is set in the menu, and if not set, the process proceeds to step 2. Then, in step 2, it is determined whether or not the reserved time setting switch 12 has been pressed. If not, the process proceeds to step 3. If "chawanmushi" is set in the menu in step 1, step 2 is skipped and step 3 is performed. Then, in step 3, it is determined whether or not the first menu switch 13 is pressed, and if it is pressed, the process proceeds to step 4 and "white rice" is selected as a menu.
Is set and the process returns to step 1.

If the first menu switch 13 is not pressed in step 3, the process proceeds to step 5. And in this step 5, the second
It is determined whether or not the menu switch 14 has been pressed, and if it has been pressed, the process proceeds to step 6, "cooking rice" is set as a menu, and the process returns to step 1.

If the second menu switch 14 is not pressed in step 5, the process proceeds to step 7. And in this step 7,
It is determined whether or not the menu switch 15 is pressed, and if it is pressed, the process proceeds to step 8, the "tea dog" is set as a menu, and the process returns to step 1.

If the third menu switch 15 is not pressed in step 7, the process proceeds to step 9. Then, in step 9, it is determined whether or not the start switch 11 has been pressed. If not, the process returns to step 1. On the other hand, if the start switch 11 is pressed in step 9, the process proceeds to step 10, and it is determined whether or not the menu is selected. If the menu is not selected, the process returns to step 1 and the selected one is selected. For example, cook the menu selected in step 11.

Next, the operation of steps 1 to 10 will be described. Steps 1 to 10 are repeated until the menu is set and the start switch 11 is pressed. When the "tea roam" menu is selected, the input of the reservation time setting switch 12 is invalidated.

Next, if the reserved time setting switch 12 is pressed to set the time in step 2, the process proceeds to step 12. Then, in step 12, it is determined whether or not the first menu switch 13 is pressed. If it is pressed, the process proceeds to step 13, "white rice" is set as a menu, and the process returns to step 12. If the first menu switch 13 is not pressed in step 12, the process proceeds to step 14. And this step
At 14, it is determined whether or not the second menu switch 14 has been pressed, and if so, the routine proceeds to step 15, where "cooking rice" is set as a menu, and the routine returns to step 12.

On the other hand, if the second menu switch 14 is not pressed in step 14, the process proceeds to step 16. And this step 16
It is determined whether or not the start switch 11 has been pressed, and if not, the process returns to step 12. If the start switch 11 is pressed in step 16, the process proceeds to step 17, and it is determined whether or not the menu is selected. If the menu is not selected, the process returns to step 12, while if selected, the process proceeds to step 18 Go to. Then, in step 18, the time is counted, then in step 19, it is judged whether or not the reserved time is reached, and steps 18 to 19 are repeated until the reserved time is reached. If the reserved time is reached in step 19, the process proceeds to step 11 to cook the selected menu. Next, the process proceeds to step 20 and shifts to the next process.

Next, the operation after step 12 will be described. If the reservation time setting switch 12 is pressed, the reservation time setting mode is entered.
Here, the input of the third menu switch 15 is invalidated so that the reservation for the "chawanmushi" menu is not performed. When the start switch 11 is pressed after setting other menus, the menu is left for a predetermined reserved time, and when the reserved time is reached, cooking is performed with the selected menu.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, as is clear from the description of the above embodiments,
Egg dishes such as chawanmushi will be rotten if left for several hours before cooking, so it is not possible to cook at the reserved time, and there is no reservation for a cooking menu where there is no problem if left for a long time before cooking. Since it can be done, only the cooking menu that can be reserved will be selected during the reservation setting, and as a result, cooking can be done with confidence and excellent operability can be obtained. is there.
