Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a cooker in which a start key for starting cooking is arranged on the front surface of the main body of the appliance.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the above cooking device, for example, in the case of an oven or the like, an operation panel is provided on the front of the main body of the appliance, and a plurality of keys for selecting and setting cooking types such as oven cooking, range cooking, automatic cooking and manual cooking are provided on the operation panel. However, because there is a display etc. that displays the setting contents of these keys and cooking time, etc., when you try to place the operation panel on a part of the front of the appliance or when the cooking menu increases, etc. Has a problem in that the key layout space is insufficient and the design is constrained.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Then, this invention aims at suppressing the increase of the number of keys accompanying the increase of a cooking menu etc. as much as possible.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has a plurality of keys such as a start key for starting cooking and a display device arranged on the front surface of the main body of the appliance and detects the input of the rice cooking key for selecting and setting rice cooking in the key. The rice cooking mode detecting means for displaying the preset amount of rice cooking step by step in conjunction with the operation of the rice cooking key and for inputting the setting is provided.

[0005]

[Embodiment of device]

 First, referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment according to the present invention is as follows: (1) is a main body of a floor-standing type cooker, on which a stove unit (2) is detachably mounted, and a front is opened inside. The cooking chamber (3) is divided and formed, the combustion chamber (5) accommodating the gas burner (4) is divided and formed in the lower rear part of the cooking chamber, and the gas is formed in the inner part of the cooking chamber (3). A blower chamber (7) accommodating a circulation fan (6) that circulates the hot air burned by the burner (4) in the cooking chamber (3) is defined, and a vertical opening is provided at the front opening of the cooking chamber (3). The door (8) is attached to open and close automatically.

A magnetron (9) for supplying high frequency radio waves to the cooking chamber (3) is mounted above the cooking chamber (3).

Reference numeral (10) is an exhaust duct for discharging the exhaust gas from the cooking chamber (3), and a room temperature sensor (11) such as a thermistor for detecting the temperature in the cooking chamber (3) is mounted on the exhaust duct.

(12) is a turntable mounted below the cooking chamber (3), on which food to be cooked such as a rice cooking pot (13) is detachably placed and is arranged below the cooking chamber (3). It is rotationally driven by the installed drive motor (14).

On the other hand, the handle (15) is attached to the upper front part of the door (8), and the operation panel (16) shown in FIG. Is equipped with a fluorescent display tube indicator (17) on the left side, and a microwave oven key (18), high speed oven key (19), combi key (20), rice cooker key (21), leave it to the right side of this indicator. A pan key (22), a good pan key (23), a timer key (25) with multiple keys (24) (24) ..., a temperature setting key (26), and a reservation key (27) are arranged. On the right side of this timer key, a so-called automatic heating snack key (28), sponge cake key (29), gratin key (30), start key (31), warm key (32), defrost key (33), Strong / weak keys (34) and cancel key (35) are arranged.

Further, FIG. 3 shows a control circuit, in which the start key (31) of the operation panel (16), the reservation key (27), the rice cooking key (21) and the cancel key are input to the microcomputer (36). A magnetron drive circuit (37) for driving the magnetron (9) and a burner control circuit for controlling the gas burner (4) are connected to the output of the microcomputer (36) while connecting a key such as (35). The road (38) is connected to the display control circuit (39) for driving the display (17).

On the other hand, when the start key (31) and the reservation key (27) are simultaneously turned on for a predetermined time (for example, several seconds) as shown in FIG. 4, the microcomputer (36), for example, operates the operation panel. Even if the start key (31) of (16) is operated, it is not accepted, so-called key lock means (40) for setting and releasing the key lock, and key lock setting and key lock release by this key lock means. A key lock detection step (41) is also provided to perform cooking and preheating, and when the rice cooking key (21) is operated, this is detected, and the above-mentioned display (17) shows in FIG. As shown in, a rice cooking mode detecting means (42) for sequentially displaying the rice cooking amount in units of unit is provided.

That is, in FIG. 4, first, it is detected whether or not the key lock is set in step 1, and if not, the process proceeds to step 2, and it is detected whether or not the start key (31) is turned on. If so, go to step 3 to detect if the reservation key (27) is on, and if not, detect at step 4 whether these keys have been operated for several seconds. If yes, go to step 5. Move to set the key lock.

On the other hand, when the key lock is set in the above step 1, the process proceeds to step 6, and similarly to the above, in steps 6, 7 and 8, the start key (31) and the reservation key (2 7 ) Is simultaneously turned on for several seconds, and if so, the key lock is released in step 9.

In the embodiment, when the key lock is set in step 5, the key mark (43) provided on the display (17) is displayed and the key lock is released in step 9. And the key mark (43) is erased.

Therefore, for example, if the start key (31) and the reservation key (27) are simultaneously turned on for a predetermined time at the end of cooking, the key mark (43) lights and the key lock is set. No key input will be made no matter which key is operated, preventing accidental operation by children.

Further, the rice cooking mode detection means (42) means that when the rice cooking key (21) is operated as shown in FIG. 5, for example, the rice cooking amount is set to 1 on the display (17). Display "1" and if the start key (31) is operated as it is, cooking of rice is started with the setting of 1 rice.

On the other hand, when the rice cooking key (20) is operated again while the display device (17) is displaying “1”, “1.5” is displayed on the display device (17) and the rice cooking process is continued. Each time the key (20) is operated, it is displayed in a loop like "2" → "2.5" → "3" → "1", and is displayed when the start key (3 1) is operated. The amount of rice cooked is set to a numerical value.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 With the configuration of the present invention, by providing the rice cooking mode detection means, it is possible to select the rice cooking and set the rice cooking amount only by operating the rice cooking key, and increase the number of keys as the cooking menu increases as much as possible. It can be suppressed.
