Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bread maker which automatically makes bread simply by setting predetermined ingredients, and includes information on ingredients and bread necessary for executing a selected bread menu. Information such as calories can be appropriately displayed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this kind of bread maker is provided with a dedicated menu so that a loaf of bread or French bread can be easily prepared. It was prepared while checking it in a book or the like, and was set in the bread case of a bread maker. In recent years, diet-oriented and health-oriented,
It was not possible to know how many calories and nutrients were contained in bread made with such a bread maker.

[0003]

As described above, in order to recognize the ingredients necessary for the bread to be cooked, the amount thereof, and the calories and nutrients contained in the bread, a cooking book, a nutritional component table and the like must be prepared each time. It was troublesome to see, and if lost, they could not be confirmed and storage was also difficult. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to confirm such ingredients and calories in the bread maker main body without such labor.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such problems, the present invention has a plurality of bread making menus, each of which contains the kind and quantity of bread ingredients required for each menu and the bread made by the menu. Storage means for storing the amount of energy and nutrients to be performed, display means for displaying the bread making menu and various data stored in the storage means, selection means for selecting the bread making menu, and the selection means. Control means for calling various data from the storage means in accordance with the bread-making menu, and the display means comprises a liquid crystal display element having a touch switch attached to the surface thereof, and also serves as the selection means. Things.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the type and amount of the ingredients of the selected bread menu are displayed on the display device attached to the main body, and the ingredients can be set while looking at the display. Also,
The calories and nutrients contained in the bread to be made can be displayed as needed. Since a liquid crystal display element having a touch switch attached to the surface of the display device is used, the operation is simplified, and various displays can be performed without providing a plurality of operation keys.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a bread maker main body, a base 2 is fixed to a bottom portion, and an oven chamber 3 is provided on an upper surface and a motor 4 is provided on a lower surface. Reference numeral 5 denotes a lid, which is attached to the upper surface of the oven chamber 3 so as to be freely opened and closed. Reference numeral 6 denotes a substrate case, which is mounted on the upper surface of the motor 4 and has a built-in circuit board 7 and a display panel 8 on the upper surface.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a bread case having a rectangular cross section into which various bread ingredients are put. A rotating shaft 10 projects from the center of the bottom, and a kneading blade 11 is attached to the rotating shaft 10 and is attached to and detached from the oven chamber 3. Reference numeral 12 denotes a temperature sensor, and the oven chamber 3
Is provided on the outer wall. Reference numeral 13 denotes a heater, which is disposed substantially horizontally so as to surround the pan case 9 below the inside of the oven chamber 3.

FIG. 3 shows a functional block diagram of the present invention.
A control unit 4 includes a microcomputer 16 having a built-in memory 15 and a power board 19 having a transformer 17 and a buzzer 18. Power board 19
Is connected to a motor 4, a temperature sensor 12, a heater 13, and a microcomputer 16, and the microcomputer 16 is provided with a display panel 8. The control unit 14 is mounted inside the substrate case 6. I have.

The display panel 8 is a liquid crystal display (LCD)
A screen for selecting a bread making menu, a screen for indicating the type and amount of ingredients, a screen for displaying calories and nutrients contained in bread, and the like are displayed. A transparent touch switch 20 is attached to the surface of the display panel 8 so that input can be switched between valid and invalid according to the screen displayed on the display panel 8.

Next, various screens displayed on the display panel 8 and an operation method on the screens will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the power is turned on, a screen (a) for selecting a bread making menu is displayed on the display panel 8,
It will be waiting for input. When you press the part where the desired menu is displayed (here, "Bread" is selected),
The screen switches to the screen (b) for performing various settings in the pressed menu, and the bread size (1.5 or 2 loaves, etc.)
And select the color of the roasted color. The display of this screen (b) differs depending on each menu, and contents that cannot be set due to the nature of each menu are not displayed.

When "Start" is input from this screen (b), the selected menu, various settings, the completion time of baking,
The screen is switched to the screen (c) displaying the process being executed, the bread maker executes the kneading process, and thereafter, the fermentation, degassing, molding, and baking processes are sequentially performed to produce bread.

When a "timer" is input from the screen (b), a reserved bread making screen for setting the bread making completion time (d)
Switch to In this screen (d), for example, when setting for baking bread at 7:00 in the morning, a method of inputting a time obtained by subtracting a time from a current time to a time to bake or a method of directly inputting a time to bake can be considered. The latter method, which is easier to operate, is adopted, and the time is scrolled using the up and down keys to adjust to the desired completion time. Then, when "start" is input, the screen changes to the screen (b), and the timer process is started.

When "Material" is input from the screen (b),
The screen switches to a screen (e) that displays the types of ingredients required for the bread menu and the amounts thereof. The user can use this screen (e)
The materials can be easily set by putting the materials in the pan case while looking at the display, and the screen can be returned to the screen (b) by inputting "return".

When "nutrition" is input from the screen (b),
The screen is switched to a screen (f) displaying the calories and nutrients contained in the bread prepared in the bread menu. Using the value on this screen (f) as a guide, it is possible to know how much nutrients are contained in the bread to be eaten, and to balance other meals by adjusting other side meals. . Here, it is possible to return to the screen (b) by inputting "return". The screen (f) can be switched between the screen (c) and the screen (e).

[0015]

As described above, the present invention is constituted, and the type and quantity of the necessary material are displayed on the display device by the menu.
Data about calories and nutrients contained in bread can be displayed, eliminating the need to look at cookbooks every time cooking is done, saving time and ensuring that even if a cookbook is lost, Can be made. In addition, by indicating nutritional components, it is possible to grasp the components of bread as a staple food, and to eat a balanced diet by adjusting nutrients that are not enough for other side meals and controlling too many calories Can be.
