Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a jar rice cooker for general household use.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional jar rice cooker of this type consists of a heater and a heater control element, including a rice cooking means for cooking rice and keeping it warm, a menu setting means for setting two or more types of rice cooking menus, and a menu setting means for setting two or more types of rice cooking menus. a storage means for outputting a rice cooking program for each menu stored according to the output of the means;
and a control means for controlling the rice cooking means to cook and keep the rice warm according to the rice cooking program output by the storage means, and the rice is cooked with a heating power of a rice cooking pattern suitable for the rice cooking menu selected by the user. That's what I was doing.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, rice is cooked with a heating power of a rice cooking pattern suitable for the rice cooking menu selected by the user.
After that, when the warming operation starts, the rice cooking menu other than 1 white rice,
For example, cooked rice and porridge were kept at the same temperature as white rice. Therefore, depending on the rice cooking menu,
If the heating temperature was high and the food was kept warm for a long time, there were problems such as the rice and ingredients at the bottom of the pot becoming burnt and hard, or the heating temperature being low and the food having a poor texture when eaten. .

The object of the present invention is to provide a jar rice cooker that solves these conventional problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a rice cooking means that includes a heater and a heater control element and that performs rice cooking and warming operations, and a menu that sets two or more types of rice cooking menus. a setting means; and a first storage means for outputting a rice cooking program for each menu stored in accordance with the output of the menu setting means.

a second storage means for outputting the temperature keeping temperature of each menu stored in accordance with the output of the menu setting means; and a rice cooking program outputted by the first storage means and a temperature keeping temperature outputted by the second storage means. and a control means for controlling the rice cooking means to cook rice and keep it warm.

Effect According to the above configuration, the first storage means outputs the rice cooking program according to the rice cooking menu set by the user using the menu setting means, and therefore the control means controls the rice cooking means in accordance with the rice cooking program to adjust the rice cooking according to the set rice cooking menu. With the heat level appropriate for the menu,
Cook rice. When the rice cooking is completed and the warming operation starts, the second storage means outputs the warming temperature according to the rice cooking menu set in the menu setting means.
The control means can control the rice cooking means in accordance with the rice cooking means to keep the rice warm at a temperature suitable for the set rice cooking menu.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a jar rice cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention, and 1 is composed of a heater that heats the pot and a heater control element that controls electricity supply to the heater, and controls rice cooking and warming operations. The rice cooking means 12 for cooking is 2
Menu setting means for the user to set more than one type of rice cooking menu; 3 is a first storage means for outputting a rice cooking program for each menu stored in advance according to the output of the menu setting means 2; 4 is menu setting A second storage means outputs the warming temperature of each menu stored in advance according to the output of the means 2; 5 indicates a rice cooking program outputted from the first storage means 3 and a rice cooking program outputted from the second storage means 4; This is a control means that controls the rice cooking means 1 to cook rice and keep it warm according to the keeping temperature.

With the above configuration, the user can simply set the menu setting means 2 to cook rice with the heat level of the rice cooking program suitable for the rice cooking menu set by the menu setting means 2. It is kept warm at the same suitable temperature.

FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of a jar rice cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a rice cooking means, which is composed of a heater 6 that heats the pot and a relay 7 that controls the flow i to the heater 6. has been done. 2 is a menu setting means by which the user sets the rice cooking menu.

This menu setting means 2 is a rotary switch and can set three rice cooking menus: white rice, cooked rice, and rice porridge. 8 is CPU, ROM.

RAM etc. This one-chip microcomputer 8 drives a transistor 9 and a relay 7 to control energization to the heater 6 .

The operation of the jar rice cooker in the above embodiment will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

When the user sets either white rice, boiled rice, or porridge using the menu setting means 2, the one-chip microcomputer 8 relays the rice cooking program according to the rice cooking program set by the menu setting means 2 among the rice cooking programs stored in advance. 7 and adjust the heat to cook rice. When the rice cooking is completed, the warming operation is started, and in step 10.degree.11.12.13, a warming temperature suitable for the rice cooking menu set by the menu setting means 2 is selected. According to the keep-warm temperature, in steps 14, 15 and 16, the keep-warm temperature is set to be suitable for the set rice cooking menu.
The relay 7 is driven to adjust the heating level of the heater 6.

In this way, when the user sets porridge on the rice cooking menu, the user sets a higher temperature to keep it warm so that it is easier to eat, and when the user sets rice porridge to cook, the temperature is set to a lower temperature so that the ingredients and soup stock do not burn. That's what I do.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the jar rice cooker of the present invention, rice is cooked at a heating temperature that is suitable for the rice cooking menu set by the user, and after the rice is cooked, it is set at a heat retention temperature that is suitable for each rice cooking menu. Because the rice is kept warm, no matter what kind of rice you cook, you can always eat it deliciously, making it extremely convenient and useful.
