Abstract

PURPOSE:To settle and correct menu freely and improve operability by installing liquid crystal indicating part, key input and remote control transmit part in a cookbook and also remote control receiving part and door open control part in a cooker itself. CONSTITUTION:Menu No. printed on page 11 is settled by numerical keys on key board 9 and indicated on liquid crystal indicating part. Menu is automatically settled in response to key inputs of person's number and finished operation on key board 9 and data are transmitted to the cooker itself 1 from remote control transmit part 8 by transmit key. By pushing the door open key 12, door open signal is promptly transmitted to the cooker itself 1 and door automatically opened. Furthermore, as control commands for clear and start are also transmitted, on-off control of cooker itself is possible from a distant place.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking appliance with remote control functionality.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in cooking apparatuses having digital control units, such as microwave ovens equipped with microcomputers, the cooking performance has been improved by the application of temperature sensors and humidity sensors, and the number of menus that can be automatically cooked has also increased. For this reason, the number of menu keys arranged on the operation panel has increased,
Operations have become complicated. Therefore, you can cope with the increase in the number of menus by printing the menu pigeon in the cookbook and inputting this menu into the microwave oven, but it is difficult to input the menu into the microwave with the book or memorize the menu fish. A means for inputting the information into the microwave oven has been devised (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 156435/1983).

Also, after setting the cooking conditions, if you want to put a large item into the oven and start cooking, you must first go to the microwave, open the door, then hold the item with both hands and put it into the oven. It was necessary.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, it is necessary to go to the microwave to set the menu in the cookbook, which makes it difficult to operate while holding the book, and it is difficult to memorize the menu details. It is also easy to make setting mistakes if you set the settings separately.

In addition, in the latter configuration, if both hands are occupied with a large item to be cooked, the user must go to open the microwave oven door first, resulting in poor operability.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves these conventional problems by providing a cooking book with a liquid crystal display section, a key input section including a door opening key, and a remote control transmitting section, and the cooking device itself is equipped with a remote control transmitting section. It is equipped with a remote control receiving section and a door opening control section.

Function: With this configuration, you can freely set or modify menus while viewing the cookbook from a distance from the cooker, and the side door can also be opened manually using the keys on the cookbook, further improving operability. It has the effect of

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In addition, in FIGS. 2 to 4, the same parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a cooking device according to the present invention, in which a door 2 that can be opened and closed and an operation panel 3 are provided on the front of the cooking device main body 1. The operation panel 3 includes a numerical display section 4, a keyboard 6, A remote control receiving section 6 and the like are provided. The cooking book 7 is provided with a liquid crystal display section 8, a keyboard 9, and a remote control transmitting section 1o.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the appearance of the cooking book 7, and when the menu printed on the open page 11 is set using the numerical keys on the keyboard 9, the menu is displayed on the liquid crystal display section 8. In addition, automatic cooking menu adjustment can be set according to key input from the number keys and finishing keys on the keyboard 9, and data can be sent from the remote control transmitter 8 consisting of an infrared light emitting diode to the cooker main body 1 using the transmit key. Send. Immediately when the door open key 12 is pressed, a door open signal is sent to the cooking device main body 1, and the door opens automatically.

In addition, since control commands such as clear and start can be sent, it is also possible to control the cooking appliance 1 on and off from a remote location.

On the upper and left pages of the liquid crystal display section 8 of the cooking book 7, photos of the cooking menu, a menu plate, a list of ingredients, cooking instructions, etc. are printed.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the control portion of the cooking book 7. As shown in FIG.

The control section 13 is a 4-bit or 8-bit CMO
It can be realized by an S one-chip microcomputer, and outputs a display signal to the liquid crystal display section 8 to perform a predetermined display. The liquid crystal display section 8 is dynamically driven with 1/4 duty.
In order to display 4-digit segments, control section 1
3 outputs common signals 00M0 to 00M3 and segment signals 5KGO to 5KG15. The key input unit 14 includes a keyboard 9, a door open key 12, etc., and scan signals SCo to SC4 output from the control unit 13.
Configure a key matrix with key human power signal KYo-KY
It is input to the control section 13 as s. The remote control transmitter 1o includes an infrared light emitting diode 16, a transistor 16, a resistor 17, an oscillator 18, a transmitter circuit 19, and the like. The transmitting circuit 19 modulates the data output from the control section 13 and transmits the data to the transistor 1.
6, the infrared light emitting diode 16) transmits a signal. A battery 20 is installed in the control section 13 and the transmission circuit 19.
a switch 21 to which a strong staining force is supplied, which closes when the cookbook 7 is opened and opens when the cookbook 7 is closed;
The power supply is turned on and off via.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a cooking appliance equipped with a remote control o-ring receiving section and a door opening control section.

The output control section 22 can be realized by a 4-bit or 8-bit one-chip microcomputer, and includes a light receiving diode 23.
, coil L1 capacitor 01-C6, resistor R1-Rs,
Based on the received data input from the remote control receiving section 6, which includes the receiving circuit 24, etc., cooking settings, starting and stopping, opening of the door, etc. are performed. Also, the output control section 2
2 can also be operated by key manual signals from the keyboard 5 provided on the cooking device main body 1, and the display drive section 26 outputs display data to the numerical display section 4 to display a predetermined display. The magnetron 27 is controlled by the control circuit 26. Also, the output control section 2
2 drives a plunger 29 (not shown) provided inside the door 2 via a door opening control section 28 in response to a door opening signal received from the cooking unit 7 to open the door from the inside.

All cooking data is stored in the output control unit 22 of the cooking device main body 1, and when only the menu Nu, the number of cooks, and finish adjustment data are input from the cooking book 7, corrections are made and executed according to the data. However, on the contrary, it is also possible to store all the cooking data in the control section 13 of the cooking book 7, and send the cooking data itself to the cooking appliance main body 1 after making corrections as necessary.

Effects of the Invention (1) Operability is further improved because cooking menus can be carefully selected, set, modified, started, stopped, etc. from a distance while viewing the cooking book.

? ) Since the door can be opened from a distance using the door release key in the cookbook, there is no need to go to the cooker and open the door even when cooking something that cannot be accessed without holding it with both hands.
