Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an operating device for a cooking device such as a microwave oven, an electric oven, or an open range that is a combination thereof.

Conventional structure and its problems Conventionally, as an operating device for a heating device, the heating time, heating temperature, etc. are checked from the A cooking book, etc., and the timer of the cooking device is set.
There are two types of cooking methods: manual ones, which are controlled by a temperature controller, etc., and automatic ones, which are activated by a microcomputer in the control section simply by pressing the section (key) on which various cooking menus are written on the B operation section.

In the case of an automatic type, if only the cooking menus written on the operating section are limited, the area of the operating section is limited, so the number of cooking menus is also limited. Therefore, many efforts are being made to increase the number of cooking menus that can be automatically prepared. For example, there are the following.

(b) Card type: A card type that is attached to the control unit when preparing a card for each cooking menu.

(b) Leaf type (for example, JP-A-57-127725
(No. Publication)...In which a large number of cooking menu cards are sequentially reversed and selected.

(c) Pack type: A system that has a plurality of grouped cooking devices, from which one cooking device is displayed and a cooking menu is selected.

These configurations increase the number of cooking menus that can be automatically created,
Although it is good in that respect, the card type has the disadvantage that there is a possibility of losing the card and requires a reading device in the operation section, which increases the price.Furthermore, the leaf type and pack type require a complicated device in the operation section, which increases the price. there were.

On the other hand, there are products on the market that automatically cook food by storing cooking programs for cooking menus that are often cooked at home in a memory device installed in the heating cooker, but it takes time and high frequency to store the cooking program in the memory device. It is troublesome to have to input the output, temperature, etc., and there is a limit to the number of memory keys, so currently only simple things such as heating sake cans and mills are used. There were drawbacks.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and provides a heating cooker that increases the number of automatic cooking menus without increasing the price. is intended to provide.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned goal, the operating device for a heating cooker of the present invention has a first group of cooking menus displayed on the operating section and a second group of cooking menus written in a cooking book or a cooking quick reference table. These cooking menus of the first group and the second group are sequentially marked with symbols such as 1, 2, 3, etc., and are stored in a microcomputer built in these cooking programs, and the above symbols are stored. is displayed on the display tube, and the cooking menus of the first and second groups can be freely cooked, so it is possible to choose from a large number of cooking menus, and it is easy to use and is also inexpensive. This is extremely economical as it can be done by simply increasing the storage capacity of the computer.

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

In FIG. 1, there is a heating cooking chamber inside a main body 1, a door 2 is attached to the front opening of the cooking chamber, and an operating section 3 is attached to the right side thereof. The operating section 3 has a knob 4 for setting the time 5...-, a display tube 5 for displaying cooking time symbols, etc., and a manual setting for each function (microwave oven "high").

Operation button 6 for operating "low", "grill", "oven", etc., and the first group cooking menu displayed on the operation unit with the cooking menu for automatic cooking.The first group cooking menu in Table 7. 7a, a call key 8 to be described later, and a cooking button 9
etc. are installed. .

On the other hand, the cooking quick reference table 10 displayed at the bottom of the door 2 shows the second
A group cooking menu 10a is displayed.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment, and a method of operating the operating section 3 will be explained. This heating cooker uses the same conventional methods for manual cooking and automatic cooking. That is, in manual cooking, it is sufficient to press the operation button 6, turn the knob 4 to set the time, and press the cooking button 9. If you want to cook apple pie automatically, put the apple pie dough into the heating chamber and select from the 20 cooking menus listed on the operation panel by pressing the Up 7 recipe key "1e" (
If you select the key [assuming that aJ contains an apple pie cooking program] and press this key "18" 6 \-, the number "18" will be displayed on the display tube 5, and the number "18" will be displayed on the display tube 5. According to the cooking program stored in the microcomputer, the driver circuit 1
2 controls the circuit to drive the heater 13° magnetron 14, etc. to heat and cook.

Next, the second group of cooking menus listed in Cooking Quick Reference Table 10
A method for automatically cooking Oa will be explained. It is assumed that black beans of symbol 36 are to be cooked from the cooking menu 10a of the second group. First, the call key 8 is pressed, the knob 4 is turned to display the symbol "36" on the display tube 5, and the cooking button 9 is pressed.

Then, according to the Kuromame cooking program stored in the computer built in the control unit 11, the driver circuit 12 controls the power supply circuit to turn on the heater 13 and the magnetron 1.
4 etc. to heat and cook. After cooking, the black bean symbol ``36J'' disappears from the display tube 5, and you can proceed with manual or automatic cooking as usual.

The above is cooking menu 10 of the second group shown in cooking quick reference table 10.
Although the method for cooking a has been shown, the method is the same as above when adding a symbol to the cooking menu and displaying this symbol on the display tube.

Effects of the Invention In conventional automatic heating cookers, when attempting to automatically heat a cooking menu other than the cooking menu written on the operation panel, the operation section becomes extremely complicated, making it difficult to handle and also becoming extremely expensive. However, according to the present invention, many automatic cooking operations can be performed simply by increasing the storage capacity of the microcomputer, so that it can be made at an economical price. In addition, handling is extremely simple and easy to use,
If you print the cooking chart on the door, you can use it with confidence because you won't lose it like you would with a card.
