Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cooking device, and more particularly to a cooking device that can display a wide variety of cooking menus and has good operability.

In a cooker having various cooking functions such as a high-frequency heating device, a leaf-type cooking menu display device is used to increase the number of cooking menus displayed, and this display device also has an index display by cooking function and a cooking menu display. A device has been developed that aims to improve operability by performing the following steps.

In a cooker equipped with such a leaf-type cooking menu display device, the user first presses the cooking function selection key to select a cooking function index display card, and then selects a cooking menu according to the contents of this display card. Press the key to select the cooking menu display card.

Thereby, cooking conditions (for example, temperature, time, etc.) are automatically set based on the contents written on the cooking menu display card, and the user can also know what type of cooking will be performed by the cooking device.

After confirming the contents of the cooking menu display card, the user presses the start key to start cooking.

However, if the user uses the same cooker many times and completely memorizes the operation procedure of the selection keys, as mentioned above, the user will be forced to select the cooking function index display card and the cooking menu display card. The operation of pressing the start key after making a selection requires waiting for the next operation until each operation is completed, which is time consuming and troublesome.

Furthermore, even when there is no need to view the contents of the cooking menu display card, performing the above-described operations at each step is troublesome and may even worsen operability.

Furthermore, when a user wants to know what kind of cooking is possible with the cooker at the beginning of use, it is troublesome to operate each of the selection keys as described above.

This invention was made with these points in mind,
To provide a cooking device with excellent operability, which can change the operation of a leaf-type cooking menu display device according to a user's skill level.

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

FIG. 1 is a front view of a cooking device according to the present invention.

The cooking device 10 includes a cabinet 11 in which a heater, a magnetron, etc. are disposed, a heating chamber door 12, and a panel surface 13 on which operation keys are arranged.

FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of the panel surface 13, from the top: display section 14, cooking function selection key 15, cooking condition setting key 1.
6. Cooking menu selection key 17, cooking menu display window 1
8, a start key 19, a key 20 for independently operating the leaf-type cooking menu display device, a key 21 for locking the operation of the leaf-type cooking menu display device, and the like are provided.

Inside the cooking menu display window 18, as shown in FIG. 3, a leaf-type cooking menu display device 22 is disposed, and indexes by cooking function and various cooking menus can be selected and displayed.
It is now displayed.

The leaf-type cooking menu display device 22 has a plurality of display cards 23 on which cooking function indexes and cooking menus are written, which are swingably mounted around a rotating member 24, and by rotating the rotating member 24. , the contents of the cooking menu shown at the display position can be changed by sequentially reversing the display cards 23.

The rotating member 24 is rotationally driven by a motor 26 via a gear train 25, and the rotation of the motor 26 is controlled by a control circuit (not shown) connected to operation keys arranged on the panel surface 13.

In FIG. 2, an example of an index display card 27 according to the oven function of the cooker is shown in the display window 18.

The index display card 27 with oven function has
Cooking objects that can be cooked by the functions of the cooker are displayed in correspondence with the symbols of the cooking menu selection keys 17.

For example, if the object to be cooked is a cutlet, the cooking menu selection key 17 is numbered 1.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the cooking menu display card 28 that is selectively displayed on the display window 18 by pressing the symbol rIJ of the cooking menu selection key 17.

This cooking menu display card 28 displays the cooking objects listed in the cooking function index display card,
The cooking conditions etc. are described.

The key 20 that independently operates the leaf-type cooking menu display device located at the lower end of the panel surface 13 is such that by pressing this key 20, the motor 26 is driven without operating the other selection keys 15 and 17. The rotating member 24 rotates to continuously perform the reversing operation of the display card 23.

Furthermore, by operating the key 21 for locking the operation of the leaf-type cooking menu display device, the display card selection operation in the leaf-type cooking menu display device is disabled, and cooking conditions are set. , the cooking function selection key 15 and the cooking menu selection key 1
Even if 7 is pressed, the display card is not reversed.

Therefore, regardless of the display on the display window 18, the user can
Cooking function selection key 15 and cooking menu selection key 17
You can set the required cooking conditions by pressing .

FIG. 5 is an operational block diagram of this embodiment, with switch S
1 and S2 respectively control the drive of the motor 26 in the leaf-type cooking menu display device.

That is, the switch S□ corresponds to the key 21 that locks the operation of the leaf-type cooking menu display device, and the switch S
2 corresponds to a key 20 that independently operates this display device.

Turn off switch S2 and turn on switch S1
When the key 21 is set to the clear side, the display device performs a display card selection operation in conjunction with the operation of the selection keys 15 and 17, and cooking is performed according to the display on the display window.

Also, turn off switch S1 (key 21 to lock side)
, the circuit to motor 26 is disconnected and selection key 1 is pressed.
Even if operations 5 and 17 are performed, the display device does not select a display card, and only cooking conditions can be set.

This allows quick setting of cooking conditions.

Next, when the switch S2 is turned on, the motor 26 is driven.
The selection operation of the display card of the display device is performed regardless of the operation of the selection keys 15 and 17.

According to this embodiment, if the key 21 is set to the clear side and the selection keys 15 and 17 are operated, the display window 1 is cleared.
8, the display card 23 is selected and displayed, and the cooking conditions are automatically set, which is the normal operation.

Also, set the key 21 to the lock side and select keys 15 and 17.
By operating , you can quickly set cooking conditions without having to select a display card.

By operating the back key 20, the display card can be reversed independently, regardless of the cooking condition setting operation, and the user can easily know the cooking menu of the cooker.

Note that by using the cooking condition setting key 16, it is possible to manually set arbitrary cooking conditions.

As described above, according to the present invention, the operation of the leaf-type cooking menu display device can be changed according to the skill level of the user, and a cooking device with excellent operability can be provided.
