Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heating cooker for starting a cooking operation by operating a cooking start means after selecting a cooking menu.

[0002]

Conventionally, an oven toaster, which is a heating cooker of this kind, uses a menu key, which is a menu selection means, to select a specific cooking menu from a plurality of cooking menus, and then set a cooking time. And cooking conditions such as cooking temperature. Thereafter, when a start key or the like serving as a cooking start means is operated by a key, a cooking operation of the selected cooking menu is started.

[0003] In addition, regarding a cooking menu which is considered to be frequently used for continuous cooking such as toast, even after the completion of one cooking operation and the completion of energization of a heater serving as a heating means, continuous cooking is not performed. In order to improve the usability, the cooking menu performed last time is displayed, and the operation in the cooking start waiting state in which the cooking condition is being set is repeatedly performed until the cancel key as the canceling means is operated.

Here, an operation procedure in the conventional oven toaster will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.
In the same figure, when the auto key is operated in the cancel state in which all the operations are stopped (steps S101 and S102), the continuous cooking menu is displayed on the display means in step S103, and the cooking start waiting state Becomes In subsequent steps S104 and S105, if the auto key is operated without operating the start key, the process proceeds to step S106 to change the cooking menu, and the cooking menu is changed to step S103. To display. When the start key is operated in step S104 in the waiting state for cooking start, the cooking time is displayed based on the selected cooking menu (step S10).
7), a cooking operation is performed (step S108).

[0005] Thereafter, when the predetermined cooking operation is completed in step S109, the process proceeds to step S110, and the fact is notified by a notification means such as a buzzer. In the next step S111, the heater is stopped. At this time, in step S112, if the cooking menu that was completed immediately before was the continuous cooking menu,
Returning to the procedure of step S103, the continuous cooking menu that has just ended is displayed as a cooking start waiting state (step S103). Further, in step S112, when the cooking menu completed immediately before is other than the continuous cooking menu, the display on the display unit is turned off (step S112).
113), the state shifts to the same cancellation state as in step S101 (step S114).

In the above-described operation procedure, in the canceled state where all the operations are stopped, two steps are required until the heater is energized, such as operating the menu key and then operating the start key to start the cooking operation. Although an operation is necessary, in the cooking start waiting state, the heater is turned on by one-step operation of merely operating the start key. In addition, during continuous cooking, after one cooking control is completed, all operations are not stopped until the cancel key is operated or the power is turned off, and the cooking start waiting state is continued.
For this reason, if the user forgets to cancel the cooking start waiting state, and if an operation signal for starting cooking is erroneously input, there is a risk that the heater will be energized for a long time. In addition, the display of the cooking start waiting state is continued by the display unit unless the cooking start waiting state is released, so that power is wasted.

[0007] Further, not only after completion of the cooking operation in continuous cooking but also when cooking conditions are set after operating the menu key, the same cooking start waiting state is set. Therefore,
Also in this case, the above-described problem has occurred.

[0008] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a long-time power-on state even after the completion of a cooking operation during continuous cooking or after setting a cooking menu and forgetting to cancel the cooking-start waiting state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a heating cooker that does not enter a cooking start waiting state and that can avoid wasteful power consumption caused by continuing the cooking start waiting state.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a heating cooker, comprising: a heating means for heating a food in a cooking cabinet; and a power supply for the heating means. Power supply means, menu selection means for selecting a cooking menu, cooking start means to start the cooking operation by energizing the heating means, cancellation means to stop the operation of each means,
Display means for displaying a cooking time and a cooking menu, a clock means, and a control means for controlling the operation of each of the means,
After the cooking menu is set by the menu selection means, the cooking operation is started by the cooking start means, and after the cooking operation is completed and the heating means is stopped, the cooking of the last cooking menu is started without being canceled. In the heating cooker that continues the waiting state, the timing unit counts time from the end of the cooking operation, and when no operation is performed during a predetermined time period counted by the timing unit, The control means is configured to cancel the cooking start waiting state after the cooking operation is completed.

[0010] According to the configuration of the first aspect, the cooking start waiting state after the completion of the cooking operation is canceled when the timer measures the predetermined time unless any operation is performed. Therefore, in the continuous cooking, when the cooking operation is automatically ended after the completion of the cooking operation, even if the user forgets to cancel the cooking start waiting state, the cooking starts after a predetermined time elapses. Since the waiting state has been released, even if the cooking start means is operated after a while, the cooking operation in which the heating means is energized is not performed. In addition, since the display on the display means does not continue in the cooking start waiting state, wasteful power consumption can be avoided.

In the heating cooker according to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration according to the first aspect, the control means sets a predetermined time for canceling the cooking start waiting state after the completion of the cooking operation. The time is set such that the temperature in the cooking cabinet falls to a predetermined safe temperature.

According to the configuration of the second aspect, when the cooking start waiting state is canceled after a predetermined time has elapsed after the cooking operation in the continuous cooking is completed, the inside of the cooking appliance cabinet is cooled sufficiently, Since the inside of the cooking cabinet is lowered to a safe temperature at which no influence is exerted even if a hand is inserted, safety can be improved. In addition, when re-cooking is performed after canceling the cooking start waiting state, the temperature condition is substantially the same as that when performing continuous cooking for the first time, and there is no shift in recognition of the user, and safety is high. Further, by limiting the predetermined time to a necessary minimum, it is unnecessary to display the cooking start waiting state unnecessarily for a long time, and a further effect can be obtained as power saving and energy saving.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a heating cooker, comprising: a heating means for heating the food in the cooking cabinet; a power supply means for supplying electricity to the heating means; and a cooking menu. Menu selection means for selecting a menu, cooking start means for starting the cooking operation by energizing the heating means, canceling means for stopping the operation of each means, display means for displaying a cooking time and a cooking menu, and timing. Means, and a control means for controlling operation of each means, wherein after setting a cooking menu by the menu selection means, the cooking operation is started by the cooking start means. The time is counted from the time when the means is operated, and if no operation is performed during a predetermined time measured by the time measuring means, the menu selection means is operated. It said control means is obtained by constituting the to cancel the cooking start waiting state after.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the cooking start waiting state after operating the menu selecting means is released when the time measuring means measures a predetermined time unless any operation is performed. Therefore, after the cooking menu is set, if a predetermined time has elapsed, the cooking start waiting state has been released, so even if the user forgets to operate the menu selection means itself, after a while, one operation by the cooking start means is performed. , Cooking operation does not occur. In addition, since the display on the display means does not continue in the cooking start waiting state, wasteful power consumption can be avoided.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the heating cooker according to any one of the first to third aspects, an informing means for informing when the cooking start waiting state is released is further provided. It is provided.

According to the configuration of the fourth aspect, when the cooking start waiting state is released, the user is notified by the notification means such as a buzzer, so that the user can be notified that the display means is turned off, for example. The next operation can be prompted. In addition, if the cooking start state is canceled naturally without notifying the user, there is a risk that the user may mistakenly think that a problem has occurred. However, such a situation does not occur if the notification is performed by the notification means.

[0017]

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
This will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The heating cooker in this embodiment is an oven toaster.

In the block diagram of FIG. 1 showing the electric configuration, reference numeral 1 denotes a control means which controls the entire operation of the oven toaster, for example, a microcomputer. Various control sequences related to the oven toaster are stored in the control unit 1 as programs in a storage unit (not shown). Reference numeral 2 denotes input means for sending to the input side of the control means 1 various input signals from the auto key 3 as menu selection means, the start key 4 as cooking start means, and the cancel key 5 as cancellation means. On the input side of the control means 1, in addition to the above, an output from a temperature sensor 6 provided in a cooking appliance cabinet (not shown) of the oven toaster for accommodating the food is used. Is detected.

Each time the auto key 3 is operated, a specific continuous cooking menu and another cooking menu are alternately selected. Instead of the auto key 3, another cooking menu selection key may be used. For example, an oven key for selecting an oven cooking menu, a toaster key for selecting a toaster cooking menu, a menu key for selecting each cooking menu, and the like can be used. Further, the selection of the cooking menu may be achieved not only by key operation by pressing with a finger but also by any operation.

When the start key 4 is operated by a key, a heater 15 to be described later starts energization and a cooking operation is started. Cancel key 5
When the key is operated, all operations performed by the control means 1 are stopped, and the state shifts to a cancel state. Note that this canceling state can also be achieved by operating the cancel key 5 or cutting off the power to the oven toaster by, for example, removing a power plug (not shown) from an outlet.

The output side of the control means 1 is connected to a heater energizing means 11, a display means 12 and a buzzer 13 as a notification means, all controlled by the control means 1, via an output means 14. The heater heater energizing means 11 constituted by a relay or the like corresponds to an energizing means for energizing the heater 15 serving as a heating means. It is configured to heat things. The display means 12 displays the set cooking menu, cooking time, and the like. The cooking menu is always displayed except in the cancel state. Further, the buzzer 13 is controlled by an automatic key 3
Is operated, or when the cooking start waiting state after the end of the cooking operation is released, a notification is made.However, if any notification can be made by sound, other than the buzzer 13 is used. May be used. Also, this buzzer 13
Is configured to notify the user of a sound even when the cooking operation is completed.

When a specific cooking menu is set by the auto key 3 from the cancel state and an operation signal of the start key 4 is inputted, the control means 1 energizes the heater 15 via the heater energizing means 11. , Start the cooking operation. After the cooking operation is completed and the heater 15 is stopped, unless the user operates the cancel key 5 or shuts off the power, the start key 4 is not changed to the cancel state in which all operations are stopped. It has a function to continue the cooking start waiting state of the last cooking menu so that the cooking operation starts immediately when the key is operated. Reference numeral 21 denotes time counting means for counting time from the end of the cooking operation and the time when the auto key 3 is operated. During a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) counted by the time counting means 21, no key operation is performed. When the cooking operation is not performed, the control means 1 includes a releasing means 22 for releasing the cooking start waiting state after the cooking operation is completed or the auto key 3 is operated. On the other hand, if any key operation is performed while the time counting means 21 is counting the predetermined time, the time counted by the time counting means 21, that is, the timer is cleared, and the next cooking start waiting state is set. The control means 1 is configured so that the time can be restarted. The control means 1 sets the predetermined time for releasing the cooking start waiting state after the completion of the cooking operation to a time at which the temperature in the cooking cabinet falls to, for example, a predetermined safe temperature close to room temperature, and starts cooking. The wait state is not made unnecessary. The safe temperature in this case is 20 ° C, which is between 60 ° C and room temperature, even if you do not insert your hand in the cooking cabinet.

If there is no key operation of the start key 4 or the auto key 3 within minutes, the cooking start waiting state is released. In this case, the process proceeds to step S29, in which the buzzer 13 notifies the user of the sound, the display of the cooking menu by the display means 12 is turned off in step S30, and all operations are stopped (step S31).

On the other hand, in the steps S26 to S28, when the start key 4 is operated during the cooking standby start state, the cooking operation of the selected cooking menu is started (step S32). When the auto key 3 is operated during the cooking wait start state, the process proceeds to step S33, the menu is changed to another cooking menu, and the process returns to step S23 to reset the timer of the timer unit 21. The cleared and changed cooking menu is displayed (step S24), and the timer is again counted by the timer 21 (step S25).

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a series of operation procedures from the key operation of the auto key 3 to the end of the cooking operation. In the same figure, when the auto key 3 is operated in the cancel state in which all the operations are stopped (steps S41 and S42), the timer of the timer 21 is cleared in the next step S43 and displayed in the step S44. The means 12 displays the continuous cooking menu and waits for the start of cooking.

During the cooking start waiting state, step S45 is executed.
In step S46 to step S48, a predetermined time of 10
If there is no key operation of the start key 4 or the auto key 3 within minutes, the cooking start waiting state is released. In this case, the process proceeds to step S49, in which the buzzer 13 notifies the user of the sound, and at step S50, the display of the cooking menu by the display means 12 is turned off, and all operations are stopped (step S51).

On the other hand, in the procedure of steps S46 to S48, when the start key 4 is operated during the cooking waiting start state, the cooking time is displayed on the display means 12 (step S52) and the selected cooking menu is displayed. Is started (step S53). Step S54
In step S55, when the predetermined cooking operation is completed,
Then, the buzzer 13 notifies the user of the ringing. In the next step S56, the heater 15 is stopped. At this time, if the cooking menu completed immediately before is the continuous cooking menu (step S57), the procedure returns to step S43 to clear the timer of the time counting means 21 and to wait for the start of cooking to finish immediately before. The completed continuous cooking menu is displayed (step S44). The operation in the cooking start waiting state after the completion of the cooking operation is the same as the operation in the cooking start waiting state after the key operation of the auto key 3, and in steps S46 to S48, within 10 minutes which is the predetermined time, If there is no key operation of the start key 4 or the auto key 3, the cooking start waiting state is released.
