Abstract

The method of sensing the weight of microwave oven cooking popcorn has a function of sensing the weight of popcorn to be cooked in a microwave oven by using a gas sensor, thus to automatically set the cooking time which is adequate to the sensed weight. The method comprises the steps of: inputting a sensed signal in a gas sensor(GS) which is installed in a cooking chamber to a microcomputer, comparing the sensed gas value and a previously set popcorn sensing value(PS) and at the same time comparing the sensed time by the gas sensor(GS) with a first set time(T1) during which the popcorn of 50g is manufactured to thereby determine the weight of the corresponding popcorn; and automatically setting the cooking time in accordance with each weight.

본 발명은 가스센서를 이용하여 전자렌지에서 제조되는 팝콘의 중량감별이 이루어지도록 하여 그 중량에 알맞는 조리시간이 자동 설정되도록 한 팝콘 중량감지방법에 대한 것이다. 종래에는 시중에 나와 있는 50g 중량의 팝콘과 100g 중량의 팝콘을 구별하기 위해 중량센서를 사용하거나, 혹은 센서를 사용하지 않고 각각의 중량에 대한 별도의 조리시간을 설정하는 방법에 의해 팝콘을 조리해 왔었기 때문에 별도의 중량센서를 구비해야 하는 문제점과 팝콘중량에 따른 조리시간을 사용자가 각기 설정해서 조리를 해야하는 번거로움이 있었다. 이에 본 발명에서는 중량센서를 사용하지 않고 가스센서에 의해 팝콘의 중량을 감별토록 함으로써 각 중량에 알맞는 조리의 편의성을 제공토록 한 것이다. 이하, 본 발명은 첨부예시도면에 의거 상세히 설명한다.The present invention relates to a popcorn weight sensing method for allowing the weight discrimination of popcorn produced in a microwave oven using a gas sensor to automatically set a cooking time suitable for the weight. Conventionally, popcorn is cooked by using a weight sensor to distinguish between 50g popcorn and 100g popcorn on the market, or by setting a separate cooking time for each weight without using a sensor. Since there has been a problem that a separate weight sensor must be provided and the cooking time according to the popcorn weight, the user has to set each cooking hassle. Accordingly, in the present invention, the weight of the popcorn is discriminated by the gas sensor without using the weight sensor to provide convenience of cooking suitable for each weight. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

본 발명은 제1도의 예시와 같이 마이컴(MICOM)의 입력측에 연결된 가스센서(GS)를 전자렌지의 조리실안에 설치하여 팝콘형성시의 가스발생량을 측정하고 동감지신호를 마이컴(MICOM)에 입력시켜 가스감지감과 감지시간을 비교함으로써 팝콘중량에 따른 조리시간이 자동 설정될 수 있도록 한 것이다. 즉, 가스센서(GS)에서 감지된 신호를 마이컴(MICOM)에 입력시켜서 감지신호를 디지털신호로 변환시킨 후 그 가스감지감과 기설정된 팝콘감지값(PS)을 비교해서 가스감지값이 기설정된 팝콘 감지값(PS) 보다 같거나 클 경우에는 다시 상기 가스센서(GS)에 의한 감지시간과 50g 중량의 팝콘이 만들어지는 제1설정시간(T1)을 비교하여 감지시간이 제1설정시간 보다 작거나 같으면 50g 중량의 팝콘조리를 수행하도록 그에 알맞는 조리시간을 자동 설정하여 팬모터(20) 및 고압트랜스회로(30)를 계속 가동시켜 팝콘을 조리토록 하고, 감지시간이 제1설정시간(T1) 보다 크면 제2설정시간(T2)에 해당하는 100g 중량의 팝콘으로 인지하여 100g 중량의 팝콘조리를 수행하도록 그에 알맞는 조리시간을 자동 설정하여 팬모터(20) 및 고압트랜스회로(30)의 가동시간을 증가시켜 팝콘을 조리하게 되는 것이다.In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a gas sensor GS connected to the input side of the microcomputer MICOM is installed in a cooking chamber of a microwave oven to measure the amount of gas generated at the time of popcorn formation, and input a dynamic detection signal to the microcomputer MICOM. By comparing the gas detection and detection time, the cooking time according to the popcorn weight can be set automatically. That is, the signal detected by the gas sensor GS is input to the microcomputer MICOM to convert the detection signal into a digital signal, and then the gas detection value is compared with the preset popcorn detection value PS, and the gas detection value is preset popcorn. If the detection value PS is equal to or larger than the detection value PS, the detection time is smaller than the first setting time by comparing the detection time by the gas sensor GS with the first setting time T 1 at which 50 g of popcorn is made. If it is equal to or equal to 50g weight of the popcorn cooking to set the appropriate cooking time to automatically operate the fan motor 20 and the high-voltage transformer circuit 30 to cook popcorn, the detection time is the first set time (T 1 ) If greater than the second setting time (T 2 ) to recognize the popcorn of 100g weight corresponding to the 100g weight popcorn cooking to perform a 100g weight popcorn cooking by automatically setting the pan motor 20 and the high-voltage transformer circuit (30) To increase uptime The corn will be cooked.

이와 같이 본 발명의 팝콘 중량감지방법에 의하면 별도의 중량센서를 채용하지 않고서도 가스센서에 의한 팝콘 가스발생량의 차이를 감지하는 방법에 의해 팝콘의 중량감별이 간단하게 이루어질 수 있도록 하여 팝콘중량에 따른 조리시간이 자동설정이 가능토록 함으로써, 팝콘조리의 편의성을 제공하게 되는 것이다.As described above, according to the popcorn weight sensing method of the present invention, the weight of the popcorn can be easily distinguished by the method of detecting the difference in the amount of popcorn gas generated by the gas sensor without employing a separate weight sensor. By allowing automatic setting of the cooking time, the convenience of cooking popcorn is provided.
