Generally, the pyroelectric infrared sensor outputs a differential type signal when the amount of received infrared light in the detection area 11 changes. A positive signal is output when the amount of infrared rays to the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 increases, and a negative signal is output when the amount of infrared rays decreases. As shown in FIG. 2, the infrared detection area 1
Since the boundary surface L of 1 is set on the central axis 2a of the turntable 2, by rotating the turntable 2, the detection area 11 that forms the solid angle α when viewed from the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 is detected. The area of the food 1 inside changes in synchronization with the rotation cycle. Therefore, the incident infrared ray amount of the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 also changes periodically.

When the food 1 having a circular cross section such as a conical shape, a cylindrical shape, or a spherical shape is arranged concentrically with the central axis 2a of the turntable 2, the detection area of the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 changes. There is no. Therefore, the incident infrared ray amount of the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 does not change. However, it is virtually impossible to arrange the above horizontal cross section on the central axis 2a to be a perfect circle and to be accurately coaxially arranged on the turntable 2. Even if it is possible, there is certainly no signal change in the early stage of heating, but in the case of high frequency heating, it is difficult to distribute the high frequency in the heating chamber 7 completely, so the emitted high frequency The distribution of electric power in the heating chamber 7 becomes non-uniform, causing uneven heating of the food 1. Therefore, the incident infrared ray amount of the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 changes.

According to the first embodiment, the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8
Since it has no chopper mechanism and is of an independent type and has no temperature detecting means, the structure is extremely simple as compared with the conventional device. In addition, since the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 is attached to the lateral wall surface of the heating chamber 7, the steam and dripping from the food 1 are less likely to be directly attached to the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8, and are used for ovens and grills. Since it is also separated from the heater of (3), it is easy to insulate it, malfunctions are reduced and the service life is extended.

Further, the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 is arranged at an oblique position in the turntable 2 near the side wall from the axis 2b of the central axis 2a. Also in the second embodiment, the boundary surface L of the detection area 11 is set substantially on the central axis 2a. According to the configuration of the second embodiment, since the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 is removed from directly above the turntable 2, it is possible to reduce the influence of adhesion of splashed juice or the like that comes out of the food 1.

FIG. 12 is a graph showing changes in the output waveform from the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 when heating is actually performed. The horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents sensor output. It can be clearly seen that the signal changes in synchronization with the rotation of the turntable 2 and the signal increases as the heating progresses. It can be seen that the signal from the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 is severely disturbed when the food 1 is sufficiently warmed to start boiling. This is due to the steam blown from the food 1.

Example 7. FIG. 13 is a structural explanatory view of the seventh embodiment of the present invention. Generally, when the food 1 is heated by thawing, its temperature approaches the temperature in the heating chamber 7 in a steady state, so the temperature difference between the food 1 and the heating chamber 7 becomes smaller, and the pyroelectric infrared rays are actually used.

FIG. 14 is a graph showing changes in the output waveform from the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 when thawing and heating are actually performed. The horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents sensor output. It can be clearly seen that the signal changes in synchronization with the rotation of the turntable 2 and the signal becomes smaller as the heating progresses. When the food 1 reaches about −3 ° C. near the end of thawing, most of the frozen portion in the cells of the food 1 begins to melt,
The proportion of the heat supplied by the high-frequency heating consumed as latent heat increases, so that the temperature rise of the food 1 temporarily slows down. As a result, there is almost no change in time series near -3 ° C near the end of the thawing, and the thawing end point can be detected by detecting this point.

Example 8. FIG. 15 is a structural explanatory view of the eighth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 15, reference numeral 60 is a thermistor. The thermistor 60 is provided on the side wall of the heating chamber 7
Measure the temperature. Also in the eighth embodiment, the boundary surface L of the detection area 11 of the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 is arranged on the central axis 2a of the turntable 2 as in the above-described respective embodiments. As described in Example 7 above, when the food 1 is heated by thawing, its temperature approaches the temperature in the heating chamber 7 in a steady state, so the food 1 and the heating chamber 7
The temperature difference between and becomes smaller, and the signal actually obtained from the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 decreases while making periodic changes.

However, the temperature in the heating chamber 7 is considerably higher than room temperature after, for example, oven cooking using a heater, grill cooking, and warm cooking, and 3 after grill cooking.
It may have risen to around 00 ° C. Since the temperature change in the heating chamber 7 is smaller than the temperature change of the food 1 in the normal thawing, there is a phenomenon that the output of the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 disappears near the thawing end point near -3 ° C. ,
This phenomenon becomes weak when the temperature change in the heating chamber 7 is large.

FIG. 16 is a graph showing changes in the output waveform from the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 when thawing and heating are actually performed after cooking in the oven. The horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents sensor output. It can be clearly seen that the signal changes in synchronization with the rotation of the turntable 2 and the signal becomes smaller as the heating progresses. When the food 1 reaches about -3 ° C near the end of thawing, most of the frozen portion in the cells of the food 1 starts to melt, so the heat supplied by the high frequency heating is largely consumed as latent heat. Therefore, the temperature rise of the food 1 is temporarily slowed down.

However, since the temperature of the heating chamber 7 is still decreasing because it is just after using the oven, the temperature change is not slowed down as a result, and the temperature change hardly disappears. It exceeds the end point and fails. Therefore, the temperature of the heating chamber 7 is detected as a correction means, and when the heating chamber 7 is at a high temperature, it is safe,
The thawing is completed when the temperature changes slowly. As a result, even after the oven cooking, the grill cooking, and the warm cooking, the thaw cooking can be performed without causing the user to wait until the heating chamber 7 cools down.

Further, during normal boiling detection, the temperature of the food 1 rises earlier than the temperature in the heating chamber 7 to generate steam, and the temperature difference and the aperiodicity of steam are used for boiling. It is detecting. However, if the temperature of the heating chamber 7 is initially high and gradually becomes high during high frequency cooking, and if the temperature of the steam and the temperature of the heating chamber 7 are almost the same at around 100 ° C, there is no temperature difference. Therefore, the signal may not be detected in some cases. In order to prevent such a situation, when the temperature in the heating chamber 7 becomes around 100 ° C., the sensitivity of the pyroelectric infrared sensor 8 is increased to deal with it.

On the contrary, if the temperature of the heating chamber 7 becomes 100 ° C. and the signal that has been output so far cannot be detected, it is considered that the temperature difference between the food 1 and the heating chamber 7 has disappeared, and therefore the food It is also effective to judge that the temperature of the steam from No. 1 or from the food 1 has risen to near 100 ° C. and end the heating.
