Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic bread maker used at home.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An automatic bread machine will be described with reference to FIG.

1 is a baking chamber, 2 is a heater, 3 is a removable baking pan, 4 is a motor, 5 is a belt for transmitting the power of the motor 4, 6 is a kneading blade driven by the motor 4, 7 Is a temperature detection unit that contacts the outer surface of the baking pan 3 to detect the temperature of the baking pan 3 for process determination and temperature control, 8 is a lid, 9 is a yeast input port for adding yeast, and 10 is a yeast input port 9. Solenoid for dropping yeast in conjunction with the valve, 11 is a control device equipped with a microcomputer for controlling the heater 2, the motor 4 and the solenoid 10 according to a signal from the temperature detection unit 7 to perform baking, and 12 is for cooking. An informing means for informing the end, a display section 13 for displaying a cooking menu and a state, and 14 are operation switches.

In the automatic bread machine having such a structure,
In the conventional notification at the time of completion of cooking, when the cooking is completed, the end notification sound is only emitted, for example, a beeping sound of 0.3 seconds several times per second, and the sound ends in a few seconds.

[0005]

In such an informing method, there are cases in which the user happens to be missed when he / she is away from the user for a few seconds while the informing sound happens to sound.

[0006] Especially when making soft bread or the like with an automatic bread maker, there is a problem that the waist will be broken unless it is taken out in the shortest possible time after the cooking is completed. A bad hip will result in badly shaped bread.

A method of lengthening the ringing time of several seconds may be considered in order to eliminate this, but the fact that a monotonous sound continues to sound for a long time may be very noisy and may make the user feel uncomfortable. is there.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem and prevents the user from missing the cooking end sound, and feels uncomfortable or persistent. The first purpose is to ensure that nothing happens.

A second object is to prevent further discomfort due to the sound if the sound is taken out while the volume is low without further overlooking the cooking end sound.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A first means of the present invention for achieving the above first object is to provide a baking chamber having a heater, a bread baking mold detachably mountable in the baking chamber, and A kneading blade that is provided on the inner bottom of the bread baking mold and is driven by a motor, a temperature detection unit that detects the temperature in the baking chamber, a control device that controls bread baking based on a signal from the temperature detection unit, and the end of cooking. Is provided by an automatic bread maker which sounds a plurality of times at regular time intervals from the end of cooking.

A second aspect of the present invention for achieving the second object.
The means is that the ringing sound becomes louder later.

[0012]

With the above structure, it is possible for the user not to miss the cooking end sound, and for the user not to feel any discomfort such as annoyance or persistent discomfort.

Also, by making the ringing sound relatively small at the beginning and making it louder later, it is possible to take out the bread by noticing it with a relatively small sound when paying attention. The action can be made more effective.

[0014]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the entire structure of an automatic bread maker, where 1 is a baking chamber, 2 is a heater, 3 is a bread baking mold which is detachably mounted, 4 is a motor, and 5 is the power of a motor 4. A belt for transmission, 6 is a kneading blade driven by a motor 4, 7 is a temperature detection unit that contacts the outer surface of the baking pan 3 to detect the temperature of the baking pan 3 for process determination and temperature control, 8 is a lid, 9 Is a yeast input port for inputting yeast, 10 is a solenoid for dropping the yeast in conjunction with the valve of the yeast input port 9, and 11 is a signal from the temperature detection unit 7 for controlling the heater 2, the motor 4 and the solenoid 10. , A control device equipped with a microcomputer for baking bread, 12 is an informing means for informing the end of cooking, 13 is a display section for displaying a cooking menu or a state,
Reference numeral 14 is an operation switch.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a circuit configuration, and the control device 11 is a heater 2 by a microcomputer.
The motor 4, the temperature detection unit 7, the display unit 13, the operation switch 14, the notification unit 12, and the like are controlled.

FIG. 3 is a cooking process diagram, in which the operation switch 1 is used.
When cooking is started by operating 4, the solenoid 10 is actuated and yeast is put in after the step of smashing, and the kneading blade 6 is rotated by the motor 4 to start the kneading step.
After kneading, first fermentation, second fermentation, molding fermentation,
Cooking is completed by proceeding with the firing process.

When the cooking is completed, the notification means 12 and the display unit 13 notify the completion of cooking. As the notification sound at this time, as shown in FIG. 4, first, a beep sound of 0.3 seconds is emitted eight times every one second. After this, if the bread is left without being taken out, it rings again after 1 minute. If it is left as it is, ring again after 1 minute. This is repeated until after 5 minutes.

If the food is taken out within 5 minutes after the completion of cooking, the alarm sound is stopped by turning off the power or operating the stop switch. In addition, the shape of the bread can be completed without breaking the waist. Further, it is possible to automatically stop the energization and the ringing of the notification sound by a switch interlocking with the removal of the bread baking mold 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the end notification sound is set to a relatively low volume at first, and becomes louder at a later time, so that it will not be missed further. Discomfort can also be prevented.

[0020]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, by repeating the notification sound a plurality of times with a certain period of rest time, the user can miss the end notification sound without feeling discomfort. As a result, even soft soft bread can always be provided with good shape without breaking.
